brain’s immune system works. While it’s been known for decades that lymphatic vessels transport immune cells through the rest of the body, confi rming that this also occurs within the brain has been elusive. The discovery is attributed to Antoine Louveau, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow at UVA. He says, “It changes entirely the way we perceive the neuro-immune interaction. We always perceived it before as something esoteric that can’t be studied, but now we can ask mechanistic questions.” According to researchers, physicians can now examine the
physical connection between the immune system and the brain instead of only studying how the brain responds to immune issues; it might also improve how diseases like Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, autism and others are understood and treated.
Making Strides November 1 is Extra Mile Day
Shawn Anderson’s mission is to empower 1 million people to answer the question, “Why live a life that is unfulfi lling?” He created Extra Mile Day held on November 1 to remind people that they each have the power to create positive changes in families, organizations and communities when they go the extra mile. This year, more than 400 mayors have committed to supporting the event to make an Extra Mile Day declaration. In 2009, Anderson pedaled solo across the U.S. and interviewed 200 people that had gone the extra mile to overcome dramatic setbacks or had risked everything in order to accomplish something extraordinary. He says, “I was thrilled when 23 mayors supported the mission in that inaugural year.” His Facebook page now boasts 20,000 fans.
