The big picture: Mary Dallman, a role model
Stress. 2023 May 18:1-9. doi: 10.1080/10253890.2023.2209672. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMary Dallman has left a legacy in neuroendocrinology, not only as the scientist who elaborated on new concepts such as rapid corticosteroid feedback pathways, but also as a role model, particularly for women who followed in her footsteps. In this contribution, I compare i) the remarkable journey she made towards her position as the first female faculty member ever at the physiology department at USCF with that of generations after her; ii) the contribution of our labs on rapid corticosteroid actions; and, iii) finally, our experience...

The chronic stress risk phenotype mirrored in the human retina as a neurodegenerative condition
Stress. 2023 May 8:1-43. doi: 10.1080/10253890.2023.2210687. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe brain is the key organ that orchestrates the stress response which translates to the retina. The retina is an extension of the brain and retinal symptoms in subjects with neurodegenerative diseases substantiated the eye as a window to the brain. The retina is used in this study to determine whether chronic stress reflects neurodegenerative signs indicative of neurodegenerative conditions. A 3-year prospective cohort (n = 333; aged 46 ± 9 years) was stratified into stress-phenotype cases (n = 212) and controls (n = 121) by applyi...
