Journal ArticleDOI
Role of nerve growth factor in a mouse model of allergic airway inflammation and asthma.
Armin Braun,Elena Appel,Rina Baruch,Udo Herz,Vladimir A. Botchkarev,Ralf Paus,Chaya Brodie,Harald Renz +7 more
TL;DR: Results show that allergic airway inflammation is accompanied by enhanced local NGF production that acts as an amplifier for Th2 effector functions and plays an important role in the development of airway hyperreactivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression and function of the ion channel TRPA1 in vagal afferent nerves innervating mouse lungs
Christina Nassenstein,Christina Nassenstein,Kevin Kwong,Thomas E. Taylor-Clark,Marian Kollarik,Donald M. MacGlashan,Armin Braun,Bradley J. Undem +7 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that mouse vagal sensory nerves projecting to the airways express TRPA1 and TRPM8 and that they can be activated via these receptors is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
CD4-Positive T Lymphocytes Provide a Neuroimmunological Link in the Control of Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis
Susanne A. Wolf,Susanne A. Wolf,Susanne A. Wolf,Barbara Steiner,Barbara Steiner,Akgul Akpinarli,Thomas Kammertoens,Thomas Kammertoens,Christina Nassenstein,Armin Braun,Thomas Blankenstein,Thomas Blankenstein,Gerd Kempermann,Gerd Kempermann +13 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that systemic CD4-T cell activity is required for maintaining cellular plasticity in the adult hippocampus and represents an evolutionary relevant communication route for the brain to respond to environmental changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurotrophins Are Increased in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid after Segmental Allergen Provocation
Johann Christian Virchow,Peter Julius,Marek Lommatzsch,Werner Luttmann,Harald Renz,Armin Braun +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that neurotrophins are produced endobronchially following allergen provocation, suggesting a contribution to the pathogenesis of asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abundant production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor by adult visceral epithelia. Implications for paracrine and target-derived Neurotrophic functions.
Marek Lommatzsch,Armin Braun,Anne G. Mannsfeldt,Vladimir A. Botchkarev,Natalia V. Botchkareva,Ralf Paus,Axel Fischer,Gary R. Lewin,Harald Renz +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that visceral epithelia are a major source, but not a target, of BDNF in the adult viscera and that this neurotrophin may regulate the function of adult visceral sensory and motor neurons.
