A randomized trial provides direct human evidence that the placebo effect can shape humoral immunity: reward-related brain activity correlates with vaccine-induced antibody production, suggesting new ways to influence immune responses beyond the vaccine itself.
The article discusses how microglia-neuron interactions via the Hex–GM2–MGL2 pathway are crucial for maintaining brain homeostasis, highlighting the importance of neuroimmune communication in brain health.
The immune response to spinal cord injuries weakens as people age, according to new research. The study highlights the critical role the membranes surrounding the spinal cord play in this immune response. The findings could help develop treatments to bolster the body’s immune response, improving outcomes for patients, particularly the elderly. The meninges surrounding the spinal cord play an essential role in the immune response to spinal-cord injury. The discovery of the unknown vessels in the membranes, or meninges, surrounding the brain rewrote textbooks and opened a whole new frontier in neurological research.
