Early-life-trauma triggers interferon-β resistance and neurodegeneration in a multiple sclerosis model via downregulated β1-adrenergic signaling

Early life trauma has been associated with multiple sclerosis, but the causal link is unclear. Here the authors show in mice that early life trauma can result in IFN-β-resistant EAE as a result of β-adrenergic desensitization in immune cells and that a β1 adrenergic receptor agonist can reverse this...
