Keep your neutrophils close, but your mast cells closer

Immune activity at the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)–dura–brain interface regulates key functions of brain physiology. In two back-to-back papers, Mamuladze et al. and Kothari et al. show that dural mast ...

Mechanistic link between EBV and MS! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

EBV induces CNS homing of B cells attracting inflammatory T cells - Nature

Epstein–Barr virus infection generates a neuroinvasive B cell subset, which recruits activated T cells to the central nervous system, promoting multiple sclerosis.

And discuss how these routes are used for development and maintenance but become hijacked or modified in aging and pathology. Enjoy!

Specifically, we describe the routes that peripheral immune cells and signals use to shape the brain directly or indirectly.

Brain-Immune Communication Lab @aleksdelab.bsky.social · Jan 31

In this text we discuss how peripheral immune involvement in brain development, function and (anti-aging) maintenance is a feature, not a bug.
