> Mice were exposed to physical restraint stress as previously described (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-1935-3 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-1935-3). Briefly, female mice were restrained in individual, homemade 50 mL Falcon tubes with air holes for 2 hours per day. Mice could move backward and forward slightly in the restraining tube.
I wonder why they only used female mice. In the original methods study about the effect of stress on hair loss both male and female mice are used.
- wbc 3y agomy understanding from the article is that they're working specifically w/ breast cancer, so probably easier w/ females
