Recent work by Wu and colleagues unveiled a previously enigmatic population of spleen-innervating nociceptors from left T8-T13 dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) in mice. They found a specific DRG-spleen sensorineural connection that promotes humoral immunity via a CGRP-CALCRL/RAMP1 axis, providing a valuable target for immune regulation in local microenvironments.
吴及其同事最近的研究揭示了小鼠左T8-T13背根神经节(DRG)中一群以前神秘的支配脾脏的伤害感受器。他们发现了一种特定的DRG-脾脏感觉神经连接,该连接通过CGRP-CALCRL/RAMP1轴促进体液免疫,为局部微环境中的免疫调节提供了一个有价值的靶点。
