Chronic stress sex-splits brain-resident T cells into male type-1 and female type-17 programs

Unpredictable chronic mild stress makes both sexes look depressed, then diverges: females lose regional synapses, males lose hippocampal neurons. Brain-resident lymphocytes carry the cytokine split. Females enrich gamma-delta type-2/17 and inflammasome genes; males enrich alpha-beta and NKT type-1, CXCR3, IL27RA, and IFNgamma after stress. Mitochondria are not the measured object.

Finding. Chronic mild stress depresses both sexes and then parts them. Paris, Wang and colleagues see synaptic loss in females and neuron loss in male hippocampus. Brain-resident lymphocytes hold the cytokines: female gamma-delta cells look type 2/17 and inflammasome-high; male alpha-beta and NKT cells look type 1 and, after stress, make more IFNgamma.

Score 44. Immunology, not mitochondria. In the queue, so the brief says so.
