Open DOI
Potential Microbiota–Immune–Neural Axis Mechanisms in Orthopedic Chronic Post-Surgical Pain
Chronic Post-Surgical Pain (CPSP) represents a prevalent complication following orthopedic surgery, significantly compromising patient recovery and quality of life. Emerging evidence indicates that the microbiota-immune-neural axis may p...

Peripheral CCK and ß-Endorphin as Potential Neuroendocrine Markers of Nocebo Effects: Evidence from a Multiple-Threat Pain Paradigm
Introduction: Nocebo effects are shaped by negative treatment-related expectations and experiences and can contribute to adverse treatment outcomes. They have been linked to neuroendocrine alterations, yet reliable peripheral biomarkers ...

Sweet Relief: Behaviorally conditioned analgesia in rats with inflammatory pain
The sensation of pain is modulated by a variety of physiological and psychological factors resulting in nocebo hyperalgesia and placebo analgesia. Modern pain therapy is increasingly regarded as a multimodal approach that combines pharma...

The Tumor Neuroimmune Niche: A Unifying Framework for Cancer Progression and Its Neuropsychiatric Burden
Background: Cancer has traditionally been framed as a cell-intrinsic genetic disease and, more recently, as a disorder of the tumor microenvironment (TME). An emerging third view reframes malignancy as a systems-level neuroimmune disorde...

Peripheral and central neuroinflammatory mechanisms regulating vagal sensory circuit processing and cough in lung disease
Background: The pulmonary system can be exposed to a diverse range of injurious insults which drive pathological events including inflammation, tissue damage and structural remodelling within the airways and lungs. Summary: Patients with...

Towards a Cortical Framework of Neuroimmune Representation: The Insular Cortex at the Brain-Immune Interface
Background: For a long time, the immune system was considered as an autonomous defense network. The possibility that its functional states are actively represented and regulated at the cortical level challenges this dogma and demands a r...

Associations of a Pre-Chemotherapy Anxiety–Sleep Disturbance Phenotype with Cellular Immunity and Quality of Life in Colorectal Cancer Patients: Statistical Mediation by Cortisol and IL-6
Background: Neuroimmunomodulation examines nervous-immune interactions via hormonal and inflammatory pathways. This study investigated whether the anxiety-sleep disturbance symptom cluster in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients undergoing c...

Extracellular matrix mediated neuroendocrine control of the thymus
The thymus is the primary lymphoid organ responsible for the generation of a self-tolerant and immunocompetent T-cell repertoire. Its function is not autonomous but is finely tuned by a complex neuroendocrine network, integrating signals...
