Recent studies have demonstrated that the central nervous system controls inflammatory
responses by activating complex efferent neuroimmune pathways. The present study was …

For gut microbiota to influence behavior, microorganisms should be able to interfere with
specific brain neurochemical circuitries. Understanding these molecular mechanisms is a …

Abstract Introduction Although uterine Natural Killer (uNK) cells have cytoplasmic granules
rich in perforin and granzymes, these cells do not degranulate in normal pregnancy. DBA …

Background To facilitate the evaluation of vitamin E (α-tocopherol, αT) status on health
outcomes, the αT transfer protein knockout (Ttpa–/–) mouse model has proved to be an …

The target article suggests inter-individual variability is a weakness of microbiota-gut-brain
(MGB) research, but we discuss why it is actually a strength. We comment on how …

Some neurotropic enteroviruses hijack Trojan horse/raft commensal gut bacteria to render
devastating biomimicking cryptic attacks on human/animal hosts. Such virus-microbe …

Aims During illnesses caused by infectious disease, a suite of brain-mediated responses
called sickness syndrome occurs, triggering behavioral and physiological (fever) changes …

It is estimated that chronic neuropathic pain conditions exhibit up to 10% prevalence in the
general population, with increased incidence in females. However, nonsteroidal …

The microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis field is at an exciting stage, but the most recent
developments in microbiota research still have to find their way into MGB studies. Here we …

Systemic bacterial infection results in systemic inflammatory response syndrome due to the
release of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in blood that can lead to multiple organ failure, shock …
