Common and disorder-specific upregulation of the inflammatory markers TRAIL and CCL20 in depression and schizophrenia
Abstract Schizophrenia (SZ) and major depressive disorder (MDD) are severe mental disorders, which have been associated with alterations of the peripheral inflammatory network. However, studies for both disorders have not been fully consistent and have focused on few canonical markers with high rele...
