Glia-pinealocyte network: the paracrine modulation of melatonin synthesis by tumor necrosis factor (TNF). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The pineal gland, a circumventricular organ, plays an integrative role in defense responses. The injury-induced suppression of the pineal gland hormone, melatonin, which is triggered by darkness, allows the mounting of innate immune responses.
