    Abstract Chronic stress is a major risk factor for developing psychiatric conditions. In addition to elevating the levels of stress hormones released in the body, chronic stress activates the immune system, resulting in increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines and innate immune cells in the circulation of rodents and humans. Furthermore, exposure to chronic stress alters the phenotype of microglia, a population of innate immune cells that reside in the CNS parenchyma. In rodent models, chronic stress activates microglia in defined brain regions and induces changes in their phenotype and functional properties. In this review, we discussed how microglia are activated in stressful situations. Furthermore, we described how microglia affect the CNS environment during chronic stress, through the production of cytokines, the induction of reactive oxygen species, and phagocytosis. We suggested that, due to their strategic location as immune cells within the CNS, microglia are important players in the induction of psychopathologies after chronic stress.

    Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with an unknown etiology. Thereby, MS is not a uniform disease but rather represents a spectrum of disorders, where each aspect needs to be modeled with specific requirements-for a systematic overview see our previous issue of this review (Kurschus, Wortge, & Waisman, 2011). However, there is broad consensus about the critical involvement of the immune system in the disease pathogenesis. To better understand how the immune system contributes to CNS autoimmunity, the model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) was developed. EAE can be induced in susceptible animals in many different ways, with the most popular protocol involving the activation of self-reactive T cells by a peptide based on the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein sequence. In the last 10 years this model has led to major advances in our understanding of the immune system, especially the nature of IL-17-producing T cells (Th17 cells), host-microbiome interactions, the gut-brain axis and how the immune system can cause damage in different regions of the brain and the spinal cord. This update summarizes some of the main achievements in the field in the last 10 years.

    Abstract Memory biases for previous pain experiences are known to be strong predictors of postsurgical pain outcomes in children. Until recently, much research on the subject in youth has assessed the sensory and affective components of recall using single-item self-report pain ratings. However, a newly emerging focus in the field has been on the episodic specificity of autobiographical pain memories. Still in its infancy, cross-sectional work has identified the presence of various memory biases in adults living with chronic pain, one of which concerns the lack of spatiotemporal specificity. Moreover, a recent prospective longitudinal study found that adults scheduled for major surgery who produced fewer specific pain memories before surgery were at greater risk of developing chronic postsurgical pain up to 12 months later. The present review draws on this research to highlight the timely need for a similar line of investigation into autobiographical pain memories in pediatric surgical populations. We (1) provide an overview of the literature on children's pain memories and underscore the need for further research pertaining to memory specificity and related neurobiological factors in chronic pain and an overview of the (2) important role of parent (and sibling) psychosocial characteristics in influencing children's pain development, (3) cognitive mechanisms underlying overgeneral memory, and (4) interplay between memory and other psychological factors in its contributions to chronic pain and (5) conclude with a discussion of the implications this research has for novel interventions that target memory biases to attenuate, and possibly eliminate, the risk that acute pain after pediatric surgery becomes chronic.

    Abstract Background & aims: Hepatocellular necrosis is common in both acute and chronic liver injury and may evolve to fibrosis and liver failure. Injury leads to accumulation of necrotic cell debris in the liver, which drives persistent inflammation and poor recovery. This study investigated the role of natural antibodies (NAbs) in the clearance of necrotic cells in the injured liver, their impact on tissue regeneration and their potential as a therapy for acute liver injury.
    Methods: We used murine models of drug-induced liver injury and focal thermal injury in immunocompetent and antibody-deficient mice (
    Results: Both IgM and IgG NAbs bound necrotic liver areas and opsonized multiple debris molecules released during hepatocellular necrosis such as DNA, histones, actin, phosphoinositides and mitochondrial cardiolipin, but not phosphatidylserine.
    Conclusion: NAbs drive the phagocytosis of necrotic cells in liver injury and promote liver regeneration and recovery.
    Impact and implications: Treatment with natural antibodies after acute liver injury improved recovery by increasing the clearance of necrotic debris and by improving cellular proliferation in the liver. This preclinical study provides a basis for the development of an immunotherapy for patients with early-stage, reversible, liver injury that aims to prevent disease chronification into fibrosis and liver failure.
