The NLRP12 Sensor Negatively Regulates Autoinflammatory
... contributes to these autoinflammatory disorders. In vitro studies with human and mouse macrophages suggest that NLRP12 is a negative regulator of toll-like receptor (TLR)-induced cytokine production (Lich et al., 2007; Williams et al., 2005; Zaki et al., 2011, 2014). Moreover, NLRP12-mediated suppre ...

Although the neuropeptide pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) has been implicated in the regulation of several immune responses, its target receptors and signaling mechanisms have yet to be fully elucidated in immune cells. In this study, we found that PACAP27, but not PACAP38 ...

Psychoneuroimmunology
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), also referred to as psychoendoneuroimmunology (PENI), is the study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body. PNI takes an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating psychology, neuroscience, immunology, physiology, genetics, pharmacology, molecular biology, psychiatry, behavioral medicine, infectious diseases, endocrinology, and rheumatology.The main interests of PNI are the interactions between the nervous and immune systems and the relationships between mental processes and health. PNI studies, among other things, the physiological functioning of the neuroimmune system in health and disease; disorders of the neuroimmune system (autoimmune diseases; hypersensitivities; immune deficiency); and the physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the components of the neuroimmune system in vitro, in situ, and in vivo.
