Molecular Mechanisms of Stress

Series edited by Andrew R. Marks

When the homeostasis of a physiological system is markedly perturbed it is said to be stressed. It is hoped that understanding the response of physiological systems to stress stimuli, both physiologic and pathologic, will lead to the development of approaches to reduce the limitations these stimuli place on individuals. In this context, this Review Series focuses on the molecular response of several physiological systems to various stress stimuli.
Physiological systems under pressure
A calculated response: control of inflammation by the innate immune system
Building bone to reverse osteoporosis and repair fractures
Regulation of chondrogenesis and chondrocyte differentiation by stress
Molecular targets for tendon neoformation
Stressed out: the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor as a target of stress
Making a bad thing worse: adverse effects of stress on drug addiction
