Abstract

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of California Irvine explores the relationship between childhood maltreatment, depression, and immune cell gene regulation. The study found that childhood maltreatment is associated with increased transcriptional activity of certain genes involved in immune function, as well as alterations in monocyte/macrophage functions. These findings suggest that childhood maltreatment may have long-lasting effects on immune development and function. The study highlights the importance of considering the impact of childhood experiences on mental and physical health outcomes. [Extracted from the article]
