Reflex regulation of systemic inflammation by the autonomic nervous system

Robin M. McAllen et al.

Summary: This review discusses the concept, mechanisms, and role of the inflammatory reflex in regulating inflammation. The reflex exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhancing anti-inflammatory cytokines, and it is distributed among the abdominal viscera, capable of functioning independently of specific organs.

Immunomodulatory matrix-bound nanovesicles mitigate acute and chronic pristane-induced rheumatoid arthritis

Raphael J. Crum et al.

Summary: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately 7.5 million people worldwide. Modulating macrophage phenotype through matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBV) shows promising therapeutic effects in reducing arthritis symptoms and inflammation.

Micro-Current Stimulation Suppresses Inflammatory Responses in Peptidoglycan-Treated Raw 264.7 Macrophages and Propionibacterium acnes-Induced Skin Inflammation via TLR2/NF-κB Signaling Pathway

Hana Lee et al.

Summary: This study investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of micro-current stimulation on macrophages and skin inflammation caused by P. acnes. The results showed that micro-current stimulation can decrease the expression of proteins related to TLR2/NF-kappa B signaling and reduce the area of acne lesions.

Tissue-Resident Macrophages in the Control of Infection and Resolution of Inflammation

Xingjiang Mu et al.

Summary: Previously, it was believed that all macrophages originated from monocytes in the bone marrow, but recent research has shown that tissue-resident macrophages in some organs are actually seeded in tissues during embryonic development and can self-renew. These cells play critical roles in inflammation control and tissue repair.

Vagus nerve stimulation activates two distinct neuroimmune circuits converging in the spleen to protect mice from kidney injury

Shinji Tanaka et al.

Summary: The study found that VNS can protect the kidneys from ischemia-reperfusion injury by stimulating vagus nerve fibers and identified the related neural circuits; this is crucial for the clinical application of VNS for protection from acute kidney injury.

The role of macrophage polarization and associated mechanisms in regulating the anti-inflammatory action of acupuncture: a literature review and perspectives

Jiaqi Wang et al.

Summary: Acupuncture has anti-inflammatory effects by modulating macrophage polarization and cytokine levels in various body systems. This suggests that macrophage polarization may be the principal pathway involved in acupuncture immune regulation for inflammatory conditions.
