Social Stress Mobilizes Hematopoietic Stem Cells to Establish Persistent Splenic Myelopoiesis
cells persists for at least 24 days after the cessation of social stress. Thus, chronic stress establishes a persistent extramedullary hematopoietic depot that can modify a wide range of chronic disease processes and alter homeostasis of the bi-directional regulatory axis between the nervous and immune systems.
