Are there cell lines that either express a reporter of stress (broadly - not just one specific stress type) like a GFP driven by some stress promoter, or one that has an endogenous stress marker that is easily assayed?
I'm interested to hear how these cell lines worked our for your question of interest.
We have been looking into the role of stress pathways in the evolution of mammalian pregnancy for a few years now. Wondering if anything came of your assays...
