University of Adelaide researchers have developed a new theory for the causes of dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases, involving an out-of-control immune system.
Published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience, the researchers have assembled strong evidence that the neurological decline common to these diseases is caused by 'auto-inflammation', where the body's own immune system develops a persistent inflammatory response and causes brain cells to die.

Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (“Anavex” or the “Company”) (OTCQX: AVXL) is encouraged by the findings of a new report in the latest issue of peer-reviewed scientific journal Neuroscience Letters. The study demonstrates for the first time through real-time in vivo imaging how microglial inflammation, which is involved in devastating neurodegenerative diseases, can be resolved by sigma-1 receptor activation. The role of sigma-1 receptor activation is to reduce the negative response caused by chronic microglia over-activation, which leads to widespread cell death and multiple neurodegenerative diseases, from brain injury to Alzheimer’s disease.
