BAT thermogenesis is triggered by the release of norepinephrine from the sympathetic nerve terminals which stimulates β3-adrenergic receptors, turning on a cascade of intracellular events ...

Salk Institute scientists discovered a relationship between killer T cell exhaustion and the body’s sympathetic—“fight-or-flight”—stress response. The research showed that beta-blockers could inhibit ...

Scientists discovered a relationship between the immune system's killer T cells and the body's sympathetic stress response ('fight-or-flight') in varying cancer types in mouse and human tissue samples ...

Even for killer T cells—specialized immune cells—seeking and destroying cancer cells around the clock can be exhausting. If scientists can understand why killer T cells become exhausted, then they can ...
