Not immune to stress: LBP's link to depression
Abstract
Investigators have long suspected a link between inflammation and depression, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Fang et al. report that lipopolysaccharide-binding protein regulates monoamine biosynthesis and might be a missing link and potential therapeutic target for inflammation-associated depressive behaviors.

Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein expression is increased by stress and inhibits monoamine synthesis to promote depressive symptoms.Immunity. 2023 Mar 14;56(3):620-634.e11. doi: 10.1016/j.immuni.2023.02.002. Epub 2023 Feb 27. Immunity. 2023. PMID: 36854305
