Article Synopsis
- The sympathetic nervous system is important for controlling innate immune responses, and its reduction in inflammatory bowel disease affects immune function in the intestines.
- Researchers examined how activation of adrenergic receptors impacts cytokine production in macrophages and studied the effects of sympathetic nerve damage in mice lacking certain immune cells.
- Results showed that nerve damage led to increased inflammation and histological damage in the intestines, indicating that the sympathetic nervous system helps regulate immune cell activity in response to microbial threats.
