Research has shown that human bodily responses and cognitive shifts affect each other in both directions. We feel sorry because we cry, but also cry when feeling sorry. So, what then for our primate ...

Understanding stress physiology and molecular response mechanisms in plants is essential for improving crop production and quality, particularly under ...

Science confirms you’re only as old as you feel. If you’re exposed to stress-inducing stimuli without an emotional safety ...

Forever chemicals, PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances), endocrine disruptors, microplastics: These modern-day pollutants and man-made chemicals designed for durability are seemingly everywhere ...

Could the key to easing anxiety be hidden in our gut? Scientists have discovered a crucial connection between gut microbes and anxiety-related behavior. Their research suggests that microbial ...

Maternal stress could leave epigenetic imprints on genes in the placenta associated with cortisol -- a necessary hormone for fetal development -- and this would affect the baby's development from very ...

From her laboratory at the University of Cambridge, Camilla Nord seeks to provide biological answers to the brain changes ...

Emotional exhaustion can arise when someone experiences a period of excessive stress in their work or personal life. Doctors may recommend lifestyle changes, therapy, and medication to manage ...

We use sequence-based approaches, flow cytometry, modeling, and other techniques to explore the structure and function of microbial communities. CalCOFI is a long-term, interdisciplinary, ...
