The central nervous system was previsouly assumed as the major “culprit” behind depression and anxiety. Little attention was paid to the role that other organs played in this process. Recently, researchers from the JIN Jin Lab at the Zhejiang University Life Sciences Institute found that physical stress-induced leukotriene B4 triggers severe mitochondrial fission in CD4+ T cells, which further leads to a variety of behavioral abnormalities including anxiety, depression, and soci...

The congenital immune response is the body’s first line of defense against exotic pathogens and stressors. This rapid non-specific response relies on the capability of pattern recognition receptors in recognizing pathogen-related molecular patterns and damage-related molecular patterns released by damaged cells in a quick manner.The cytosolic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) nucleotide oligomerization domain 1 (NOD1) and NOD2 play crucial roles in host defense and survival, primarily by con...
