Other and we have previously demonstrated that, although belonging to the innate immune system, NK cells undergo a complex process of terminal differentiation in the periphery, similar to T cells (Luetke-Eversloh et al. 2014a; Killig et al. 2014; Juelke et al. 2010; Juelke et al. 2009; Romagnani et ...

Stimulate killer T cells to grow and divide, attract neutrophils and monocytes. They also stimulate the division of B cells and their production of antibodies. Suppressor T-cells: slo ...

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.
