          Chronic Stress Sends Immune Cells to Brain, Driving Depression

          A new study shows that chronic stress causes immune cells called neutrophils to leave bone marrow in the skull and collect in the brain’s protective membranes, where they contribute to depressive symptoms. In mice, blocking an immune “alarm” pathway reduced these cells and improved mood-related behaviors.

          Gut Immune Cells Found Migrating to Alzheimer’s Brain

          Researchers have uncovered a surprising link between gut immune cells and the brain in Alzheimer’s disease. In mice, antibody-producing B cells that normally reside in the gut were found migrating into brain border regions, influenced by chemokine signals from inflammatory brain cells.

          Immune Cells Ignore Retinal Damage While Microglia Step In

          Unlike most tissues, the retina doesn’t summon neutrophils—the body’s typical first responders—when injured. Instead, microglia, the brain’s resident immune cells, handle photoreceptor damage without calling for backup.

          CAR-T Brain Fog Mirrors Chemo and COVID

          Patients receiving CAR-T cell therapy often report brain fog, and new research shows this cognitive impairment stems from the therapy itself, not just the cancer or other treatments. A mouse study revealed that CAR-T-induced immune responses activate brain microglia, triggering inflammation that damages myelin-producing cells, reducing signal efficiency in the brain.

          Female Hormones Trigger Pain Relief via Immune Cells

          Scientists have discovered that female hormones like estrogen and progesterone can trigger immune cells near the spinal cord to release natural opioids, easing pain before it reaches the brain. These immune cells, known as T regulatory cells (T-regs), are located in the meninges and produce the painkilling molecule enkephalin in response to hormonal signals.

          Targeted Immune Cells Destroy Brain Tumors

          Researchers have created a "molecular GPS" to guide immune cells directly to the brain, enabling precise targeting of tumors like glioblastoma. These cells use a unique protein code to navigate and attack cancer while sparing healthy tissue, offering a safer alternative to traditional treatments. In mice, this technology successfully cleared tumors, prevented recurrences, and reduced brain inflammation in models of multiple sclerosis.

          Immune Cells Modulate Movement and Energy

          Macrophages, immune cells typically known for fighting infections, have been discovered to play a vital role in controlling movement and linking neural activity with metabolic demands. Located in muscle spindles, these cells modulate neural activity using glutamate signaling, fine-tune muscle contractions, and optimize energy use during physical activity.

          Astrocytes Remember: A New Layer of Immune Memory Uncovered

          Astrocytes, traditionally non-immune cells within the central nervous system, possess the ability to develop an immune memory, responding more vigorously to subsequent immune challenges. This groundbreaking study reveals that through an epigenetic mechanism involving the enzymes p300 and ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY), astrocytes enhance their pro-inflammatory responses, a trait similar to the immune memory seen in adaptive immunity.
