1. An experimental study on the interaction between the neuro-endocrine and immune systems in the gastrointestinal tract
Sammanfattning : The mucosa lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is in immediate contact with food nutrients to allow a rapid and efficient digestion and absorption and at the same time protects against the incessant risk of attack from pathogenic microbes. Maintenance of normal physiological activities in the GI tract is dependent on a number of regulatory interactions between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, as well as environmental and genetic factors.

2. Neural control of inflammation
Sammanfattning : Pioneering research on neural control of inflammation has paved the way for new and exciting developments in the growing field of bioelectronic medicine. In the past couple of decades, pre-clinical research on the role of the vagus nerve in inflammation and immunity has brought electrical stimulation of select nerves into clinical trials for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases.

3. Understanding inflammation requires neuroscience
Sammanfattning : Inflammation and its resolution are processes subject to neural regulation (1). The best-characterized immune-regulating reflex is the “inflammatory reflex”, in which the efferent branch of the vagus nerve plays a central role in regulating cytokine-release in the periphery.

4. Rotavirus Disease Mechanisms Diarrhea, Vomiting and Inflammation : How and Why
Sammanfattning : Rotavirus infections cause diarrhea and vomiting that can lead to severe dehydration. Despite extensive tissue damage and cell death, the inflammatory response is very limited. LÄS MER
5. Peripheral Hypoglycaemic Neuropathy in Type 1 Diabetic Rats : Morphologic and Metabolic Studies
Sammanfattning : Hyperglycaemia caused by insulin deficiency is believed to play a major role in the de-velopment of neuropathy in diabetic patients. The clinical and pathological features of diabetic neuropathy vary considerably, although sensory and autonomic dysfunctions are the most common characteristics. LÄS MER
