Abstract
Stress has long been thought to be a major contributing factor to cardiovascular disease, although little is known about the underlying cellular mechanisms. A new study illustrates that chronic stress promotes hematopoietic stem cell proliferation in bone marrow, leading to increased leukocyte production, circulation, and recruitment to the vasculature.
