Sympathetic neural-immune interactions regulate hematopoiesis, thermoregulation and inflammation in mammals

Kelley S Madden. Dev Comp Immunol. 2017 Jan.

Abstract

This review will highlight recently discovered mechanisms underlying sympathetic nervous system (SNS) regulation of the immune system in hematopoiesis, thermogenesis, and inflammation. This work in mammals illuminates potential mechanisms by which the nervous and immune systems may interact in invertebrate and early vertebrate species and allow diverse organisms to thrive under varying and extreme conditions and ultimately improve survival.

Keywords: Hematopoiesis; Immune system; Inflammation; Norepinephrine; Sympathetic nervous system; Thermogenesis.
