Stationed within the meninges, squads of immune cells lie in wait, ready to unleash an inflammatory assault within the brain if needed. Holding these trigger-happy troops back during peacetime falls ...

The meninges host diverse resident immune cells and serve as a critical interface with peripheral immunity, playing multifaceted roles in maintaining central nervous system homeostasis, responding to ...

"We found a thus-far uncharacterized, unique compartment of regulatory T cells residing in the meninges surrounding the brain and involved in an array of protective functions, acting as gatekeepers ...

Can immune cells protect your brain? Yes! Tregs act as gatekeepers, controlling inflammation and supporting memory formation in the hippocampus.

Figure 4. Activity-dependent stabilization of mitral cell dendrites. BMPR2 inhibits LIMK without BMPs. BMPs are secreted from meningeal cells and are most likely enriched in the glomerular layer. LIMK ...

T cells are white blood cells that are important for adaptive immunity. They have unique cell surface receptors that are generated by randomly assorting genes. These receptors allow T cells to ...

Feb. 10, 2025 — Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape -- to become either spheres or larger filaments -- to favor their ability to infect cells depending on environmental ...
