n ON THE COVER
Cortisol and other stress hormones regulate many
aspects of our physical and mental health, including sleep
quality. High levels of cortisol can result in poor sleep,
which increases stress that can contribute to panic
attacks, heart attacks and other ailments. Currently,
measuring cortisol takes costly and cumbersome laboratory
setups, so a team of researchers looked for a way
to monitor its natural fluctuations in daily life and provide
patients with feedback that allows them to receive the
right treatment at the right time. To learn how researchers developed a
microchip that can measure stress hormones in real time from a drop of
blood, read the article on page 56.
