Abstract:
This review addresses the current understanding of the role of autoimmune neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of vascular, neurodegenerative, and other diseases of the nervous system. The mechanisms of responses of resident CNS cells (glial cells, astrocytes) and peripheral immune system cells are presented. The therapeutic potentials of phosphodiesterase inhibitors, which have antiaggregant properties and can suppress autoimmune inflammation, are discussed. The phosphodiesterase inhibitor dipyridamole is regarded as a potential drug for this purpose.
