Abstract
Historically, the nervous and immune systems were studied as separate entities. The nervous system relays signals between the body and the brain by processing sensory inputs and executing motor outputs, whereas the immune system provides protection against injury and infection through inflammation. However, recent developments have demonstrated that these systems mount tightly integrated responses. In particular, the peripheral nervous system acts in concert with the immune system to control reflexes that maintain and restore homeostasis. Notwithstanding their homeostatic mechanisms, dysregulation of these neuroimmune interactions may underlie various pathological conditions. Understanding how these two distinct systems communicate is an emerging field of peripheral neuroimmunology that promises to reveal new insights into tissue physiology and identify novel targets to treat disease.
期刊介绍：
JLB is a peer-reviewed, academic journal published by the Society for Leukocyte Biology for its members and the community of immunobiologists. The journal publishes papers devoted to the exploration of the cellular and molecular biology of granulocytes, mononuclear phagocytes, lymphocytes, NK cells, and other cells involved in host physiology and defense/resistance against disease. Since all cells in the body can directly or indirectly contribute to the maintenance of the integrity of the organism and restoration of homeostasis through repair, JLB also considers articles involving epithelial, endothelial, fibroblastic, neural, and other somatic cell types participating in host defense. Studies covering pathophysiology, cell development, differentiation and trafficking; fundamental, translational and clinical immunology, inflammation, extracellular mediators and effector molecules; receptors, signal transduction and genes are considered relevant. Research articles and reviews that provide a novel understanding in any of these fields are given priority as well as technical advances related to leukocyte research methods.
