The Regulation of Immunological Processes by Peripheral Neurons in Homeostasis and Disease.

TLDR
The contribution of the somatosensory system to autoimmune, autoinflammatory, allergic, and infectious processes in barrier tissues is examined and opportunities for therapeutic manipulation of neuro-immune interactions are discussed.

The Sleep-Immune Crosstalk in Health and Disease

TL;DR: The induction of a hormonal constellation that supports immune functions is one likely mechanism underlying the immune-supporting effects of sleep, and sleep appears to promote inflammatory homeostasis through effects on several inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms and Therapeutic Relevance of Neuro-immune Communication

TL;DR: Mechanisms of peripheral sensory neuronal function in response to immune challenges, the neural regulation of immunity and inflammation, and the therapeutic implications of those mechanistic insights are reviewed.

Effect of neuropeptides on production of inflammatory cytokines by human monocytes

TL;DR: The findings identify a potent mechanism for nervous system regulation of host defense responses in inflammation and immunity and since neuropeptides can be released from peripheral nerve endings into surrounding tissues.

Vagus nerve stimulation attenuates the systemic inflammatory response to endotoxin

TL;DR: Direct electrical stimulation of the peripheral vagus nerve in vivo during lethal endotoxaemia in rats inhibited TNF synthesis in liver, attenuated peak serum TNF amounts, and prevented the development of shock.

Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Pain

TL;DR: Genetic, electrophysiological, and pharmacological studies are elucidating the molecular mechanisms that underlie detection, coding, and modulation of noxious stimuli that generate pain.

Impaired Nociception and Pain Sensation in Mice Lacking the Capsaicin Receptor

TL;DR: Sensory neurons from mice lacking VR1 are severely deficient in their responses to each of these noxious stimuli and are impaired in the detection of painful heat, and showed little thermal hypersensitivity in the setting of inflammation.

Mesenchymal and haematopoietic stem cells form a unique bone marrow niche

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), identified using nestin expression, constitute an essential HSC niche component and are indicative of a unique niche in the bone marrow made of heterotypic stem-cell pairs.

Lymphocyte egress from thymus and peripheral lymphoid organs is dependent on S1P receptor 1

TL;DR: It is established that S1P1 is essential for lymphocyte recirculation and that it regulates egress from both thymus and peripheral lymphoid organs.

What is the role of the nervous system in the regulation of homeostasis?

The nervous system regulates homeostasis by controlling the development and deployment of immune cells and contributing to neural circuits that control metabolism, hypertension, and inflammation.
