TL;DR - A Nature study reports that functional lymphoid structures in skull bone marrow support central nervous system immunosurveillance and influence immune responses to brain disease. This identifies the skull marrow as an important component of brain–immune interactions.

  • Skull bone marrow contains functional lymphoid structures.
  • These structures enable immune surveillance of the central nervous system.
  • They shape immune responses associated with brain disease.
  • The provided abstract does not specify the experimental methods, disease models, or detailed mechanisms.
