A multiscale map of inflammatory stress | Frontiers in Science

Chronic stress and inflammation can cause serious illnesses. Could their impacts extend far further, to communities, societies, and even the health of our planet?
Vodovotz et al propose a radical hypothesis: that inflammation connects stressors affecting individuals to impaired decision-making at scale, with potentially far-reaching consequences. Their lead article highlights the use of mathematical models to test these links-and the critical need for multilayered, multiscale interventions to reduce inflammatory stress and build resilience in individuals and societies.
