Neuro-Immune Interactions: Pain, Inflammation, Peptides & Healing | Isaac Chiu | Episode 303

Send us Fan Mail How the nervous and immune systems communicate, using peptides and other signals, to regulate pain, itch, and inflammation. TOPICS DISCUSSED: Nociception & Pathogens: Sensory neurons detect bacterial toxins within seconds, enabling rapid host-defense coordination ahead of immune-cell recruitment.CGRP & neutrophils: Nociceptor-release the peptide CGRP, which blocks neutrophil (immune cell) recruitment; pathogens exploit this in necrotizing fasciitis and meningitis.Pain...
