Can compassion impact us on a cellular level? Preliminary findings on the effects of a compassion focused intervention on immunological markers and CTRA gene expression
Overview
This paper reports preliminary findings from a pilot study involving 36 public-school teachers in Portugal who completed an eight-week Compassionate Mind Training intervention. The research assessed changes in immunological markers and gene expression related to the Conserved Transcriptional Response to Adversity (CTRA) at four time points. Results indicated decreases in Natural Killer cells, type one interferon response genes, and the pro-inflammatory gene c-Jun following the intervention.
