The researchers found that stress causes sympathetic nerves to release a chemical called norepinephrine. The researchers found that stress causes sympathetic nerves to release a chemical called norepinephrine. “Our study shows the impact of stress on stem cells— and we wonder if other stem cells in the body may be affected, too. This research is critical to helping scientists understand how stress affects stem cells in the body, and how stress affects different tissues. Understanding how stress affects stem cells is essential to developing future interventions that are both safe and effective,” Hsu said.
