No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-05-01; Booz Allen Foundation; Recent evidence has suggested that the carotid bodies might act as immunological sensors, detecting pro-inflammatory mediators and signalling to the central nervous system, which, in turn, orchestrates autonomic responses. Here, we confirmed that the TNF-α receptor type I is expre...
