Extremely proud to see our work out in @natimmunol.nature.com. We believe this a big step towards understanding and harnessing brain-immune-interactions. Thanks to the team and our collaborators, as well as @dfg.de and @ekfstiftung.bsky.social for funding this study. #neuroinflammation #immunology
Check out our latest research on how a neuron-immune axis modulates peripheral immune responses during multiple sclerosis. We discovered it by exploring pregnancy-associated immune modulation in multiple sclerosis. Special thanks to Jana Sonner and Audrey Kahn:

A GDF-15–GFRAL axis controls autoimmune T cell responses during neuroinflammation - Nature Immunology
Here the authors show that endogenous or therapeutically delivered GDF-15 activates brainstem neurons that trigger splenic β-adrenergic signaling. This, in turn, suppresses autoreactive T cells and re...
