Did you ever wonder "Why we don't all develop posttraumatic stress disorder"? See key insights in our last paper led by @MonariSilvia & S Astori & collaboration with @brain_kcl @BiologicalPsyc1 & press release @epflSV @EPFL_en #epfl

Why we don't all develop posttraumatic stress disorder

A study by researchers at EPFL shows why only a subset of individuals exposed to trauma develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The research, centered on the body's stress hormone response,...

Brief psychogenic stress increases serum circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA in humans; placing mitochondria adaptations & mitokine signaling as a very possible key player in stress physiology and fight-or-flight response. Excellent work! @MitoSigLab

Totally agree! Discovery of new phenomena are key to progress. Finding the mechanism as a condition to publishing is not always the best and wisest route to publishing, as it significantly delays the reporting of the discovery.

Been thinking about reviews that say a paper “lacks a mechanism”, as if identification of a new phenomenon isn’t important. The discovery of transposition lacked a mechanism, as did the discovery of splicing, or epigenetic silencing.
