RIBES | Research institute of Radboud University (Nijmegen, the Netherlands) | Our mission: Towards healthy ecosystems
Stress affects many systems in our body and biologists Marcel Schaaf and Erin Faught at @ribesresearch.bsky.social are figuring out how that works. A recent study by them showed how stress changes behavior by using two different receptors.
