The synthesis of catecholamines by immunocompetent cells has now been demonstrated. In
addition, catecholamines have been discovered inside the nuclear membrane and may
therefore interact in the transcription process. Here, Jonas Bergquist and colleagues
describe the powerful impact that catecholamines exert on the immune system by
downregulation of proliferation and differentiation, and induction of apoptosis.
