​Neural Regulation of Immune Response


​​by Nicolas GAUDENZIO

​​The body is innervated by a meshwork of heterogeneous peripheral neurons (including sensory neurons) which project virtually to all the organs. Peripheral neurons have been studied extensively in the context of their primary function of initiation of voluntary and involuntary movement, transmission of sensations and induction of appropriate behavioral response. On top of their function of signal transmission to the spinal cord and brain, peripheral neurons (including afferent neurons) can also directly sense environmental alarms and consequently regulate the development of various type of immune responses. At the IMMCEPTION LAB, Nicolas GAUDENZIO and his team combine unique genetic models and new intravital imaging approaches to study how neuro-immune interactions can regulate the development of inflammatory reactions in various pathological contexts.
