Structural and functional features of central nervous system lymphatics

Structural and functional features of central nervous system lymphatics | Immunology for University Students | Scoop.it
One of the characteristics of the CNS is the lack of a classical lymphatic drainage system. Although it is now accepted that the CNS undergoes constant immune surveillance that takes place within the meningeal compartment[–] , the mechanisms governin

Structural and functional features of central nervous system lymphatics

 
The discovery of the CNS lymphatic system may call for a reassessment of basic assumptions in neuroimmunology and shed new light on the etiology of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases associated with immune system dysfunction.

The Microbioma... crucial in Immune Education

 

The world today is very different from the one our immune system evolved to anticipate — not just in what we encounter, but in when we first encounter it. Preventing autoimmune disorders may require emulating aspects of that “dirtier” world: safely bottling the kinds of microbes that protect the Russian kids, so we can give them to everyone and guide the “postmodern” immune system along a healthier path of development.

La conexión entre la mente y el sistema inmune (o la psicología profunda de la enfermedad)

La conexión entre la mente y el sistema inmune (o la psicología profunda de la enfermedad) | Immunology for University Students | Scoop.it
Sabemos actualmente que nuestros estados de ánimo se reflejan directamente en nuestra salud. La eudaimonia, o la felicidad que viene del alma, parece ser clave para regular nuestro sistema inmune. Encontrar la eudaimonia, sin embargo, significa hacerle caso a nuestro demonio personal

With artistic drawings of the secondary organs!!!

 

a must visit!

Secondary lymphatic Tissues control the quality of immune responses. Differences among the various lymphatic tissues significantly affect the form of immunity and relate to how antigens are acquired by these organs. Lymph nodes are filters of lymph, the spleen is a filter of blood and mucosal associated lymphatic tissues acquire antigens by transcytosis to lymphoid tissue from the "external" environment across specialized follicle-associated epithelial cells.
