Characterization of Stress Responsive MicroRNAs and Their Roles in T Cell Development
Physiological stress evokes rapid changes in both the innate and adaptive immune responses. Immature αβ T cells developing in the thymus are particularly sensitive to stress, with infections and/or exposure to lipopolysaccharide or glucocorticoids eliciting a rapid apoptotic program. MicroRNAs …

Stress Physiology and Behavior Problems
… our etiological understanding. Adversity and stress have been a focus in criminology research but few studies have incorporated stress physiology, the biological underpinning of how individuals deal with adversity. This dissertation comprised three papers testing the linkage of stress …

Activity of the beta-cyanoalanine synthase pathway is associated with the response to abiotic stress by Arabidopsis thaliana.
… fruit ripening and senescence. Abiotic stresses increase ethylene production giving rise to `stress cyanide'. Cyanide also comes from metabolism of cyanogenic compounds. Cyanide is however, a toxic chemical which readily binds to metallo-enzymes inhibiting primary metabolic processes. …

Genetics of Physiological Traits Associated with Drought Tolerance in Soybean (Glycine max)
… and its production is often limited by drought stress. Physiological traits from exotic germplasm that confer drought tolerance may be useful in improving commercial soybean production. For example, carbon isotope ratio (δ13C) is positively correlated with water use efficiency (WUE), and …

A proteomic approach to investigate the response of tef (Eragrostis tef) to drought
… Tef plants are highly adaptable to abiotic stress conditions and are able to grow and produce grain yields under a wide range of environmental conditions, particularly under drought stress. In this study, tef plants were subjected to controlled dehydration stress treatment and …

Multifunctional Regulators of Cardiac Disease and Development
… function of MEF2 protein, which is to mediate stress-dependent cardiac remodeling. Mef2d null mice show impaired response to cardiac remodeling stresses such as pressure overload and chronic Β- adrenergic stimulation; hypertrophy, chamber dilation, fibrosis, and fetal gene activation were …

Dual Mechanisms Regulating Alpha Subunit-Specific Activity in Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Signaling
… to adapt to and protect from environmental stresses is essential to survival and has played a major role in fitness selection during evolution. As oxygen is essential to most life, many organisms have developed a response to conditions of low oxygen availability. Throughout the animal …

Leader Development or Leader Distress? Examining the Interactive Effects of Leadership Self-Efficacy and Situational Strength on Perceptions of Stress, Performance, and Physiological Responses
Stress is a concept that can be studied using a variety of theoretical approaches, with a focus on the individual’s perceptions, the external stressor, or the physiological reactions of stress responding. However these approaches are often used independently, when they can be used complementarily …

Heat acclimatization during seasonal wildfire suppression
… and non-WLFFs (n =14) completed a 60-min heat stress trial (treadmill walking at 50% peak VO2) in a climate controlled chamber (43.3°C, 33% RH) prior to and following the fire season (May through September). Peak VO2, body composition, core (Tc) and skin (Tsk) temperatures, heart rate (HR), …

Stress Reactivity Patterns in Breast Cancer Survivors and the Implications of Various Psychosocial Factors
The stress system comprises the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary (SAM) axes. The two operate synergistically to regulate metabolic and biological processes, maintain homeostasis, and manage physiological responses towards various environmental challenges, …
