Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Unilateral Cervical Vagotomy on Murine Dendritic CellsDaniel Sanzio Gimenes da Cruz, Ana Paula Nascimento de Lima, Patrícia Benites Gonçalves da Silva et al.The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway has been demonstrated to be an important mechanism that modulates several inflammatory diseases. This modulation occurs upon activation of the vagus nerve, which modulates splenic macrophages and lymphocytes through the predominant neurotransmitter, Acetylcholine (ACh). We hypothesized that this modulation could also take place in dendritic cells, as these cells represent a link between the innate and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2015 · 6,948 accessesView PDF Cite
