Sympathetic neurons control adaptive immunity in response to Streptococcus pneumoniae infection by regulating T cell and B cell effector function

This study shows that sympathetic neurons regulate T cell and B cell responses to Streptococcus pneumoniae infection, enhancing IgG production and bacterial clearance.

A chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa mouse lung infection modeling the pathophysiology and inflammation of human cystic fibrosis

This paper develops a chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection model in mice that mimics human cystic fibrosis (CF) pathophysiology and inflammation, showing similar lung function defects and immune responses.
