Stress is an adaptive response to demands of the environment and thus essential for survival. Exposure to stress during the first years of life has been shown to have profound effects on the growth and development of an ...

In diferent pathological situations, cardiac cells undergo hyperosmotic stress and cell shrinkage. This change in cellular volume has been associated with contractile dysfunction and cell death. However, the intracellular ...

Cells continuously adapt cellular processes by integrating external and internal signals. In yeast, multiple stress signals regulate pheromone signaling to prevent mating under unfavorable conditions. However, the underlying ...

Key message: Woody plants have salt-tolerant mechanisms similar to those developed by non-woody plants. Among others, compartmentalization of ions, production of compatible solutes, synthesis of specific proteins and ...

In this paper, we present an iterative method which merges experimental μ-Raman measurements and numerical simulations to describe femtosecond written waveguides in LiNbO3 crystals. This method is based on the deformation ...

There is substantial comorbidity between stress disorders and substance use disorders (SUDs), and acute stress augments the locomotor stimulant effect of cocaine in animal models. Here we endeavor to understand the neural ...

The difficulty in studying the relationship between stress and emotional regulation is due to the need to contemplate a dynamic perspective that analyzes the moderating role of stress. In fact, stress involves different ...

Sensing and response to high temperatures are crucial to prevent heat-related damage and to preserve cellular and metabolic functions. The response to heat stress is a complex and coordinated process that involves several ...

The aim of this study is to show the feasibility and accuracy of a micro-indent method to comprehensively evaluate the relaxation mechanics of residual stress in specimens of rolled aluminium alloy. This micro-indent method ...
