Journal ArticleDOI

The stress response and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis: from molecule to melancholia.

TL;DR: The response to stress at molecular, cellular, neuroendocrine and behavioural levels is described, and the disease processes that result from a dysregulation of this response are discussed, as well as recent developments in their treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The oral microbiota in colorectal cancer is distinctive and predictive.

Journal ArticleDOI
