New thesis in my collection 📘

The front cover captures the academic side.
The constellations in the back reveal the personal side.

A reminder that every PhD is more than just the research.

❔Could we target meningeal neutrophils to modulate emotional responses to social threats?
🌟 Exciting implications for understanding and possibly treating emotional dysregulation!

Meningeal neutrophil immune signaling influences behavioral adaptation following threat
Wu et al. demonstrate how neutrophils, located within the protective layers of the brain, respond to social threats and modulate psychological processes. This process is governed by testosterone in a context-dependent manner and is executed by neutrophil-mediated meningeal immunity, which impedes threat-related neural activity via IFN-γ-GABAergic signaling axis.
