Immigrants, and the children of immigrants, are exposed to unique stressors rooted in both (a) the need to balance their heritage culture with the destination culture and (b) the widespread framing of immigrants as real and/or existential threats to the destination society. Seeking to better conceptualize these unique cultural stressors, and to better understand the mechanisms and protective factors, several lines of research have converged, leading to the development of cultural stress theory (CST). This introduction provides an overview CST, starting with its theoretical roots, then proceeding to its key tenets. In addition, and serving as an overall framework for the articles included in this special issue, we outline key directions for future research on cultural stress, highlighting how the articles within this special issue serve to expand CST in important new ways and directions.

This study investigates the effects of prolonged simvastatin exposure on coenzyme Q (CoQ) levels, an essential component of antioxidant defense, in cultured cardiac cells. Statins, commonly used to manage dyslipidemia and reduce cardiovascular risk, may impair mitochondrial function, but their impact on CoQ depletion and oxidative stress is not well understood. We examined the influence of simvastatin on mitochondrial oxidative capacity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and CoQ status at concentrations of 0.

Aberrant differentiation of keratinocytes is closely associated with both pathological skin disorders and non-pathological skin conditions, making the maintenance of normal differentiation process essential for skin integrity and homeostasis. This study investigated the effect of olive-derived secoiridoid oleacein (OC) on keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation in vitro and further validated it in a co-culture model with fibroblasts mimicking a skin-like environment. OC was compared with oleuropein (OP) as a reference compound having similar chemical structure and reported effects on skin barrier formation and wound healing.

India, with its vast youth population, grapples with significant mental health issues among young adults in higher education, due to factors such as academic pressure, social isolation, stigma, economic uncertainty, screen time, sedentary lifestyles, and pandemic-related stresses. Though the issue has garnered attention, there's a gap in post-pandemic mental health research for Indian students. This study aims to address this by investigating anxiety, depression, and overall mental well-being among students aged 18-29 in higher educational institutions across eight major Indian cities, categorized by gender, zone, city, and institution type.

We studied the effect nanomicelle curcumin on oxidative stress markers, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and assisted reproductive techniques (ART) outcomes in endometriosis cases. This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 50 women with endometriosis at the age of 25-35 candidate for ART referred to Roya Infertility Center in Qom, Iran, 2022. The participants were allocated to intervention (n = 25) and control (n = 25) groups by the blocked randomization method.
