Sensory neurons shape local macrophage identity via TGF-β signaling

Key Points

• Sensory neurons play a vital role in defining macrophage identity, impacting immune responses significantly.
• Key evidence shows that TGF-β signaling alters local macrophage characteristics, enhancing their function and interaction.
• Assessment of neuroimmune interactions illustrates how sensory neurons influence immune cells through specific signaling pathways.
• These findings emphasize the need for further exploration of neuroimmune communication and its implications for health.
