Early life stress and altered social behaviors: A perspective across species by Lyonna F. Parise, C. Joseph Burnett, Scott J. Russo

“…Animal models have been integral in identifying both the short- and long-term consequences of stress exposure and suggest that whether it is disruption to parental care or social isolation, chronic exposure to early life stress increases corticosterone, changes the expression of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, and facilitates structural alterations to the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and amygdala, influencing how these brain regions communicate with other reward-related substrates. …”

Study on Vibrational Power Flow Propagation Characteristics in a Laminated Composite Cylindrical Shell Filled with Fluid by Jingxi Liu, Wentao He, De Xie

“…It is found that characteristics of the vibrational power flow vary with different circumferential mode orders and frequencies, and the presence of fluid in the shell significantly affects the vibration of the shell structure. Additionally, parametric investigations are carried out to study the effects of the fiber orientation, modulus ratio E11/E22, and thickness-to-radius parameter h/R on input power into the coupled system and propagation power along the shell axial direction. …”

Mathematical model linking telomeres to senescence in Saccharomyces cerevisiae reveals cell lineage versus population dynamics by Anaïs Rat, Veronica Martinez Fernandez, Marie Doumic, Maria Teresa Teixeira, Zhou Xu

“…Overall, we demonstrate a temporal evolution in the composition of senescent cell populations—from a state directly linked to critically short telomeres to a state where senescence onset becomes stochastic. This population structure may promote genome instability and facilitate senescence escape.…”
