FOXP3(+) CD4(+) Tregs lose suppressive potential but remain anergic during transient inflammation in human.

A loss of the suppressive function of Tregs have been implicated as a possible contributor to chemical sensitivity. This new study suggests that inflammation can cause a loss of Tregs suppressive function. This suggests that periods where inflammation is higher may contribute to chemical sensitivity.

Researchers Discover Biological Pathway Linked to PTSD - ABC News

"In both men and women with PTSD, the PAC1 gene was more likely to be modified by a process call 'methylation,' meaning people are not necessarily born susceptible to PTSD but can acquire the vulnerability over time. The finding supports the idea that environmental, genetic and so-called epigenetic factors all contribute to PTSD risk"
