Subject: [tips] Does Social Rank Influence Genetic Activity?


A new research study involving the manipulation of social rank among
macaque monkeys shows that measures of immunity varies with
social rank.  Here is one popular media article on the study:

The study is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy
of Sciences (PNAS).  NOTE: this is an "open access" article which
means that it is available to everyone.  See:
