Using nanoparticles, researchers have created a sensor that selectively detects levels of cortisol, a well-known stress biomarker, and is more robust than existing methods. Their cheap and easily reproducible device brings us a step closer to stress te… Continue reading At-home stress testing possible, thanks to nanoparticles
Taking placebo pills fully aware that they contain no active pharmacological ingredients can still significantly reduce stress, anxiety and depression according to a new study.
