Development of catecholamine and cortisol stress responses in zebrafish. [PDF]
, 2014 Both adrenal catecholamines and steroids are known to be involved in the stress response, immune function, blood pressure and energy homeostasis. The response to stress is characterized by the activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis ...

Comparison of drought stress response and gene expression between a GM maize variety and a near-isogenic non-GM variety [PDF]
, 2015 Maize MON810, grown and commercialised worldwide, is the only cultivated GM event in the EU. Maize MON810, variety DKC6575, and the corresponding near-isogenic line Tietar were studied in different growth conditions, to compare their behaviour in ...

Adipocytes cause leukemia cell resistance to daunorubicin via oxidative stress response. [PDF]
, 2016 Adipocytes promote cancer progression and impair treatment, and have been shown to protect acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells from chemotherapies. Here we investigate whether this protection is mediated by changes in oxidative stress.

Work-Related Stress, Physio-Pathological Mechanisms, and the Influence of Environmental Genetic Factors [PDF]
, 2019 Work-related stress is a growing health problem in modern society. The stress response is characterized by numerous neurochemicals, neuroendocrine and immune modifications that involve various neurological systems and circuits, and regulation of the gene

Revealing the Variation and Stability of Bacterial Communities in Tomato Rhizosphere Microbiota
Microorganisms, 2020 Microorganisms that colonize the plant rhizosphere can contribute to plant health, growth and productivity. Although the importance of the rhizosphere microbiome is known, we know little about the underlying mechanisms that drive microbiome assembly and ...

Prophages and Growth Dynamics Confound Experimental Results with Antibiotic-Tolerant Persister Cells
mBio, 2017 Bacterial persisters are phenotypic variants that survive antibiotic treatment in a dormant state and can be formed by multiple pathways. We recently proposed that the second messenger (p)ppGpp drives Escherichia coli persister formation through protease

Catecholamine stress alters neutrophil trafficking and impairs wound healing by β2-adrenergic receptor-mediated upregulation of IL-6. [PDF]
, 2014 Stress-induced hormones can alter the inflammatory response to tissue injury; however, the precise mechanism by which epinephrine influences inflammatory response and wound healing is not well defined.
