Microglia: Immune and non-immune functions

Immunity, 2021
As resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS), microglia are associated with diverse functions essential to the developing and adult brain during homeostasis and disease. They are aided in their tasks by intricate bidirectional communication with other brain cells under steady-state conditions as well as with infiltrating peripheral ...

IMMUNE FUNCTION

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2000
The innate and the adaptive immune systems have evolved to provide a rapid and specific means for protecting hosts against the many microbes experienced over a lifetime. These two immune responses interact cooperatively to enhance the host defense. Defects in either of these two pathways can have devastating consequences, as evidenced [figure: see text]

Immune function of astrocytes

Glia, 2001
AbstractAstrocytes are the major glial cell within the central nervous system (CNS) and have a number of important physiological properties related to CNS homeostasis. The aspect of astrocyte biology addressed in this review article is the astrocyte as an immunocompetent cell within the brain.

Immune functions of platelets

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2014
SummaryThis review collects evidence about immune and inflammatory functions of platelets from a clinician’s point of view. A focus on clinically relevant immune functions aims at stimulating further research, because the complexity of platelet immunity is incompletely understood and not yet translated into patient care.

Lead and Immune Function

Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 2006
The heavy metal lead is a widely deposited environmental toxicant known to impact numerous physiological systems, including the reproductive, neurological, hepatic, renal, and immune systems. Studies illustrating the capacity of lead to impair immune function and/or host resistance to disease date back to at least the 1960s.

Immune Function in PTSD

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract:  Disturbed regulation of both the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis and sympathoadrenomedullary system in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) suggests that immune function, which is modulated by these systems, may also be dysregulated.

Anaesthetics and immune function

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2001
Surgical trauma and anaesthetics may cause immune suppression, predisposing patients to postoperative infections. Furthermore, stress such as surgery and pain per se is associated with immune suppression which, in animal models, leads to an increased susceptibility to infection and tumour spread.

Notch2 and Immune Function

2012
Notch2 is expressed in many cell types of most lineages in the hematolymphoid compartment and has specific roles in differentiation and function of various immune cells. Notch2 is required for development of splenic marginal zone B cells and regulates differentiation of dendritic cells (DCs) in the spleen.
