New research identifies a specific neural pathway (Pdyn+ neurons) that carries stress signals from the brain to the skin, triggering eczema flares by activating eosinophils.
T cells that are chronically stimulated in viral infection or cancer enter a dysfunctional state known as T-cell exhaustion. Sympathetic nerves in tissues and tumours drive T-cell exhaustion through ...
A brain mechanism may explain why approximately 40% of people with hypertension continue to have high blood pressure despite taking medication. The discovery reveals potential targets for new ...
In a review published in the journal Advanced Science, researchers discussed the interplay of the immune system and the sympathetic regulation of vital metabolic organs such as the pancreas, intestine ...
Salk Institute scientists discovered a relationship between killer T cell exhaustion and the body’s sympathetic—“fight-or-flight”—stress response. The research showed that beta-blockers could inhibit ...
