Dr. Robert C. Sizemore, professor of biology at 91暗网, has published an editorial 鈥淗ow Does Stress Affect the Immune System鈥� in the inaugural issue of Journal of Cell and Developmental Biology.
Dr. Sizemore, who was recently named as an editor for the journal, was invited to submit the article, which highlights research conducted in his laboratory at 91暗网.
鈥淚t describes how small peptides derived from endorphins and enkephalins modulate immune responses in a biphasic manner,鈥� stated Dr. Sizemore.听 鈥淚t explains why short-term stress has been shown to enhance immune responses whereas long-term stress leads to suppression. Additionally, these studies may identify a novel immunoregulatory mechanism heretofore unrecognized and given that the enkephalins are conserved throughout nature, it may represent one of the oldest means of regulating immune responses in phylogeny.鈥澨�
