Since ancient times, physicians have questioned whether the mind can affect health. Many anecdotal reports have claimed that patients overcame lifethreatening illnesses by their will to live. But we lacked hard evidence that would explain the relationships between attitudes and disease. Recently scientists have uncovered new data that demonstrate a bidirectional link between the immune and the ...

recommend Neuroimmunomodulation to anyone interested in gaining an introduction to an exciting field with a long future. Treatment for the patient with an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has changed considerably in the past 50 years. Initially, the treatment simply consisted of rest. With the introduction of antiarrhythmics and coronary care units, mortality from AMI decreased substantially. ...

Vigorous development of immunology and immunopharmacology is closely interrelated with formation of new scientific “branches”of neuroimmunology and neuroimmunopathology which predetermines the hypotheses of mutual regulationinteraction of the nervous and immune systems, of the significance of neuroimmune mechanisms in the regulation of most physiological functions and development of pathophysio...

We tested the hypothesis that spontaneous release of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) from enteric neurons maintains homeostasis in smooth muscle function in mild inflammatory insults and that infusion of exogenous VIP has therapeutic effects on colonic smooth muscle dysfunction in inflammation. In vitro experiments were performed on human colonic circular smooth muscle tissues and in vivo o...

Neuroimmune Biology (NIB) was conceived in 2000. At that time it was predicted that neuroimmune mechanisms play a major regulatory role in Biology. Hence the term, Neuroimmune Biology was introduced [1]. Now it is apparent that in feto-maternal interactions, which represent Reproduction Biology, the Neuroimmune Supersystem plays a fundamental role. Reproduction Biology is a perfect example for ...

Neuroimmune dysregulation is a common phenomenon in different forms of central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Cross-links between central and peripheral immune mechanisms appear to be disrupted as reflected by a series of immune markers (CD3, CD4, CD7, HLA-DR, CD25, CD28, and CD56) which show variability in brain disorders such as anxiety, depression, psychosis, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Pa...

Searching for a mechanism underlying autoimmunity in autism, we postulated that gliadin peptides, heat shock protein 60 (HSP-60), and streptokinase (SK) bind to different peptidases resulting in autoantibody production against these components. We assessed this hypothesis in patients with autism and in those with mixed connective tissue diseases. Associated with antigliadin and anti-HSP antibod...
