Researchers have discovered in the bone mice' skull an unknown immune structure that can function as a local brain protection center and may also exist in humans.
Hidden immune structure in the skull may protect the brain
Biologists from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified a previously unknown immune structure within the skull that appears to act as a protective hub for the brain. The findings were published in the journal Nature. Researchers discovered specialized lymphoid formations in the bone marrow of mouse skulls. These structures serve as centers for generating an immune response specifically aimed at protecting the brain.…
Skull bone marrow contains immune hubs that fight brain cancer
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have discovered lymph node-like structures in the skull bone marrow of mice for the first time and demonstrated that they act as rapid first responders against brain cancer before distant lymph nodes get the signal that abnormal cells are present.
Newly found 'immune organ' inside skull directs brain defense
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have discovered lymph node-like structures in the skull bone marrow of mice for the first time and demonstrated that they act as rapid first responders against brain cancer before distant lymph nodes get the signal that abnormal cells are present. The researchers also found evidence of similar immune cells in human skull bone marrow.
A new study published in the journal Nature has revealed the discovery of a brand-new organ inside the human skull that manages brain-specific immune responses. There is strong evidence that these structures, currently only identified in mice, also exist in humans. According to experts, if these structures can be strengthened, the medical world will have gained a new weapon against deadly brain cancers.
Locally Activated Skull T Cells Halt Glioblastoma Growth in Mice
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have discovered lymph node-like structures in the skull bone marrow of mice for the first time and demonstrated that they act as rapid first responders against brain cancer before distant lymph nodes get the signal that abnormal cells are present.
