Can DNA solve the mystery of Europe’s pointy skulls? — National Geographic

A new genomic study tries to see if there’s a correlation between artificial cranial deformation and migration following the collapse of the Roman Empire.

In experiments with mice, Karsenty's team noted that within three minutes of being placed in a stressful situation, the rodents' levels of osteocalcin spiked to four times the baseline amount. Researchers found a similar response in people.

Scientists Discover What's Behind the Fight or Flight Response — Newsweek

September 14, 2019 Scientists are examining what is really behind the human fight-or-flight response—a bodily reaction to mental and physical stressors that prepares us either to stay and combat the threat (fight) or to flee to safety (flight). The answer is osteocalcin, a hormone produced in the bones. Gerard Karsenty, a geneticist at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, is one of the scientists behind this decades-long exploration of fight-or-flight. According to reporting by
