Immunity and cognition: what do age-related dementia, HIV-dementia and 'chemo-brain' have in common?Jonathan Kipnis
Department of Neuroscience, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22908, USA
Trends Immunol 29:455-63. 2008..We discuss candidate mechanisms underlying T cell-mediated control of cognitive function in human cognitive diseases associated with immune decline, such as age- and HIV-related dementias, 'chemo-brain' and others...
Alternatively activated myeloid (M2) cells enhance cognitive function in immune compromised miceNoel C Derecki
Graduate Program in Neuroscience, Department of Neuroscience, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22908, USA
Brain Behav Immun 25:379-85. 2011..These results might lead to development of new therapeutic approaches for cognitive pathologies associated with malfunction of adaptive immunity, such as chemo-brain, age-related dementia, HIV-dementia, and others...
Phagocytic activity of neuronal progenitors regulates adult neurogenesisZhenjie Lu
Department of Neuroscience, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia 22901, USA
Nat Cell Biol 13:1076-83. 2011..Collectively, these findings indicate a paradigm wherein DCX(+) neuronal precursors also serve as phagocytes, and that their phagocytic activity critically contributes to neurogenesis in the adult brain...
Regulatory T cells in CNS injury: the simple, the complex and the confusedJames T Walsh
Neuroscience Graduate Program and Medical Scientist Training Program, Department of Neuroscience, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22908, USA
Trends Mol Med 17:541-7. 2011..In this piece, we explore how the immunology of neurodegeneration differs from that of cancer and autoimmunity and how these differences create confusion about the role of Tregs in neurodegenerative conditions...
Thrombospondin 1--a key astrocyte-derived neurogenic factorZhenjie Lu
Department of Neuroscience, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22908, USA
FASEB J 24:1925-34. 2010..Our data demonstrate that TSP1 is a critical participant in maintenance of the adult NPC pool and in neuronal differentiation...
Regulation of learning and memory by meningeal immunity: a key role for IL-4Noel C Derecki
Department of Neuroscience, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22908, USA
J Exp Med 207:1067-80. 2010..These findings might lead to the development of new immune-based therapies for cognitive impairment associated with immune decline...
Research Grants
- Regulatory T cells in central nervous system injuryJonathan Kipnis; Fiscal Year: 2009..In this research proposal we aim to understand the role of regulatory T-lymphocytes in CNS injury, which might help to develop new therapeutic strategies for CNS injuries based on modulation of these cells. ..
- Meninges-to-astrocyte communication in cognitive functionJonathan Kipnis; Fiscal Year: 2010..This understanding has the potential to define novel therapeutic targets for several forms of cognitive decline. ..
