Splenic nociceptive neural connection promotes humoral immunity.
Authors
Qian C, Wang J, Cao XAbstract
Recent work by Wu and colleagues unveiled a previously enigmatic population of spleen-innervating nociceptors from left T8-T13 dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) in mice. They found a specific DRG-spleen sensorineural connection that promotes humoral immunity via a CGRP-CALCRL/RAMP1 axis, providing a valuable target for immune regulation in local microenvironments.
