A necroptotic-to-apoptotic signaling axis underlies inflammatory bowel disease - Science | AAAS

However, the underlying mechanism connecting psychological stress to the occurrence of joint inflammation has remained poorly understood. In particular, how psychological stress can trigger inflammation in joints that were previously affected, even after the disease has gone into remission, remains an important unanswered question.
