Disarming the Killers: Brain Strikes on NK Cells

Publication date: 21 March 2017
Source:Immunity, Volume 46, Issue 3
Author(s): Linda Quatrini, Sophie Ugolini
Brain ischemia induces profound systemic immunosuppression, leading to infectious complications. In this issue of Immunity, Liu et al. (2017) demonstrate that distinct neuroendocrine pathways differentially inhibit natural killer (NK) cell responses in the central nervous system and the periphery after cerebral infarction.
