This study finds higher plasma lipopolysaccharide-binding protein and pro-inflammatory mediators in overweight women, suggesting subclinical endotoxemia and inflammation linked to cardiovascular risk.

This study shows that electrical stimulation of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus reduces inflammation in endotoxemia and sepsis without affecting heart rate.

The paper demonstrates that focused ultrasound activation of the hepatic neural plexus restores glucose homeostasis in diabetes models across multiple species.

This study identifies two monoclonal antibodies that bind SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBM and inhibit GM-CSF induction in immune cells.

This study shows that specific electrical stimulation parameters of the vagus nerve can modulate serum cytokine levels in healthy mice without inducing inflammation.

This study shows that TRPV1-expressing sensory neurons are required for antibody responses to novel antigens and that stimulating these neurons enhances antibody production.

This study identifies TRPA1 in vagus neurons as essential for detecting IL-1β to initiate the inflammatory reflex, reducing inflammation and improving survival in sepsis.
