Social status alters chromatin accessibility and the gene regulatory response to glucocorticoid stimulation in rhesus macaques [Anthropology]

Low social status is an important predictor of disease susceptibility and mortality risk in humans and other social mammals. These effects are thought to stem in part from dysregulation of the glucocorticoid (GC)-mediated stress response. However, the molecular mechanisms that connect low social status and GC dysregulation to downstream health...
