It’s clear that chronic stress can impact our behavior, leading to problems like depression, reduced interest in things that previously brought us pleasure, even PTSD.

Research integrity training is becoming ubiquitous – but how it’s delivered, and who to, varies incredibly. That is a problem, says Dr Catherine Winchester in the latest of our series focussing on research integrity. So, how can we embed training like this in a systematic way? Promoting and supporting research integrity at an organisational level
More than half of emergency department (ED) visits from US patients with cancer are potentially preventable, a new analysis suggests. Overall, researchers found that 18.3 million (52%) ED visits among patients with cancer between 2012 and 2019 were potentially avoidable. Pain was the most common reason for such a visit. Notably, the number of potentially

Indigenous populations, including people of American Indian and Alaska Native origin, are underrepresented in clinical trials. Researchers collaborated to modify the “trust triangle” model used in clinical trial recruitment and expanded it to a new model called, “The Trust Circle.” This new model takes into account the various entities that are part of the recruitment
Phenomena like wildfires can be devastating to human lives and the environment. Now, a new study has found that people subjected to “climate trauma” are also likely to experience mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression. The study, published in the journal PLOS Climate, observed people, directly and indirectly, affected by the
A 13-year international study in mice demonstrates that loss of epigenetic information, which influences how DNA is organized and regulated, can drive aging independently of changes to the genetic code itself. It also shows that restoring the integrity of the epigenome reverses age-related symptoms.
