Prioritizing clinical utility to use allostatic load as a biomarker of the consequences of stress

Allostatic load measures the physiological consequences of stress and is associated with disease outcomes. Clinical use of allostatic load is limited, in part, because its calculation requires biomarkers not routinely measured in clinical care. Presently, we evaluated association...

Lymphatic endothelial cells regulate neutrophil phenotypes and function in a microphysiological model of infection

Early skin inflammation requires coordinated immune regulation, with neutrophils acting as first-line responders. While the blood vasculature and its role in neutrophil recruitment during infection has been extensively studied, the lymphatic system remains comparatively understud...
