Scientists find the protein IL-17 that fights infection also acts on the brain, inducing anxiety or sociability. This adds to evidence that immune molecules can influence behavior during illness.

Two new papers uncover IL-17 biology and add to growing evidence that cytokines can influence behavior during illness.

Physicians have long observed a mystifying phenomenon: After a bout of infection or an autoimmune disease flare-up, some ...

New research reveals that the immune molecule IL-17 can influence behavior by acting directly on specific regions of the brain.
