CCL5 and Alzheimer disease: Serum analyses demonstrated a significant immunomodulatory effect, characterized by elevated levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and IL-27, and reduced levels of the pro-inflammatory chemokines CXCL10 and RANTES at the 12-month timepoint.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Our findings indicate that NBM-DBS may be associated with stabilization of cognitive function in patients with moderate AD, potentially through the modulation of inflammation.
