This study shows that sympathetic neurons regulate T cell and B cell responses to Streptococcus pneumoniae infection, enhancing IgG production and bacterial clearance.

This paper develops a chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection model in mice that mimics human cystic fibrosis (CF) pathophysiology and inflammation, showing similar lung function defects and immune responses.

This study shows sensory neurons regulate humoral immunity by releasing neuropeptides that influence B-cell responses and antibody production in bacterial infection and allergic asthma.
