Bacterial antigens primarily induce BDNF release from platelets interacting with monocytes in PBMCs. This interplay underscores how immune-blood cell complexes shape BDNF levels which may impact early human development. ABSTRACT The gut microbiota and the immune system are closely connected, influencing early-life brain development. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), crucial for neuronal development, has been demonstrated … Read more
