Cortisol is known to promote memory for emotionally arousing experiences, yet the neural networks involved in enhancing these memories are unknown. Here, we combine pharmacological fMRI with an analysis approach to determine the dynamic brain network...
BACKGROUND: While interventions have been designed which use extended reality (XR) technology in promoting physical, mental and social well-being through cultural heritage experiences, well-defined methodologies for the assessment of such interventio...
Emerging wearable cortisol sensors represent a significant innovation in personalized health monitoring, allowing for detection of cortisol, a key biomarker for stress, chronic diseases, and overall well-being. Since cortisol regulates stress and met...

Past traumatic experiences shape neural responses to future stress, but the mechanisms underlying this dynamic interaction remain unclear. Here, we assessed how trauma-related brain networks respond to current acute stress in real time. Using a machi...
Body movements and posture provide valuable insights into stress responses, yet their relationship with endocrine biomarkers of the stress response remains underexplored. This study investigates whether movement patterns during the Trier Social Stres...
Aging involves the progressive accumulation of cellular damage, leading to systemic decline and age-related diseases. Despite advances in medicine, accurately predicting biological age (BA) remains challenging due to the complexity of aging processes...
BACKGROUND: As the Internet of Things (IoT) expands, it enables new forms of communication, including interactions mediated by teleoperated robots like avatars. While extensive research exists on the effects of these devices on communication partners...

OBJECTIVE: To assess the diagnostic value of combining plasma steroid profiling with machine learning (ML) in differentiating between mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) and nonfunctioning adenoma (NFA) in patients with adrenal incidentalomas.
Patients with hematological malignancy experience physical and psychological pain, such as a sense of isolation and confinement due to intensive chemotherapy in a protective isolation unit (PIU). We examined whether the intervention of a robotic pupp...
BACKGROUND: Cortisol has immunomodulatory effects that increase the risk and evolution of several diseases. Cancer is characterized by a proinflammatory state in which cells exert impaired function and proliferation. The relation between cortisol sec...
