Does adoptive transfer of macrophage from mice with depression-like behavior enhance susceptibility to colitis?
These data identify the critical role of macrophage in linking depression and susceptibility to intestinal inflammation via the vagus nerve. The results provide a basis for developing new approaches to the management of UC patients with coexisting depression by rebalancing cytokine production by the cell.
These studies suggest a novel interaction between an aquaporin water channel and intermediate filaments, an interaction through which AQP0 may maintain lens fiber cell shape and organization.
