It takes nerve to tell T and B cells what to do
TL;DR: Findings that indicate a regulatory role for the peripheral sympathetic nervous system in modulating the level of cytokine and antibody produced during an immune response are focused on.

TL;DR: A better understanding of neural- immune interactions is needed to develop strategies for treatment of immune-mediated diseases that are designed to return homeostasis and restore normal functioning neural-immune networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
The emergence of neurotransmitters as immune modulators
TL;DR: Current and future developments in understanding the cross-talk between the immune and nervous systems will probably identify new avenues for treating immune-mediated diseases using agonists or antagonists of neurotransmitter receptors.

Extent and magnitude of catecholamine surge in pediatric burned patients.
TL;DR: This study gives clinicians a useful insight into the extent and magnitude of CA elevation to better design treatment strategies, and shows that CA levels are consistently and significantly modulated after burn when compared with the levels in normal, healthy volunteers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolism modulators in sepsis: Propranolol
TL;DR: The effects of sepsis (SIRS plus infection) on whole body metabolism is demonstrated, the mediators of these changes are outlined, and the ability of propranolol to attenuate the changes seen is shown.

Alternative activation of macrophages
TL;DR: The evidence in favour of alternative macrophage activation by the TH2-type cytokines interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-13 is assessed, and its limits and relevance to a range of immune and inflammatory conditions are defined.

Chemokines — Chemotactic Cytokines That Mediate Inflammation
TL;DR: This review introduces the burgeoning family of cytokines, with special emphasis on their role in the pathophysiology of disease and their potential as targets for therapy.

Pharmacological Actions of 6-Hydroxydopamine
TL;DR: Time-course studies have determined the threshold for terminal destruction in various organs of several species and the increasing order of the destructive action of 6-OHDA in various end organs is cardiac ventricles, salivary glands, and blood vessels.
