Information about research in the Chester Centre for Stress Research (CCSR) on stress and human disease.
The CCSR is an interdisciplinary grouping linking the research interests of the Faculty of Applied and Health Sciences, Faculty of Health and Social Care and a number of external bodies. The aim of CCSR is to stimulate interdisciplinary research and perform research of international significance.
All aspects of the biology of stress are covered, from the cell to the whole organism. These are mainly studied in clinical settings, for example for Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis, leukaemia; or using cell-based model systems in mechanistic studies (molecular biology laboratory).

- Homocysteine induced oxidative stress
- Cellular responses induced by LPS
Extra-cellular heat shock proteins
- Regulation of Hsp release from cells
- The role of extra-cellular Hsps
- Interactions between Hsps and membranes
Regulation of bone cell activity
- Regulation of OPG secretion
- OPG and apoptosis
Exercise dependence and stress
- Impact of exercise on the immune system
- Hsps induced by exercise
