IIG Seminar - Neuropsychiatric lupus: a nonresolving inflammation
Following a serendipitous finding that some anti-DNA antibodies cross react with the NMDA receptor on neurons, the Diamond laboratory developed a model of cognitive impairment in SLE that has many features in common with the cognitive impairment experienced by patients with neuropsychiatric lupus. A major feature is microglial activation and dendritic pruning of neurons. As patients report cognitive impairment to be one of three symptoms that most interfere with quality of life, an understanding of pathogenesis is critical.Air date: 4/10/2024 4:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

IIG Seminar - Neuronal Control of Cutaneous Inflammation
Daniel H. Kaplan, MD, PhD is a Professor within the Department of Dermatology and Immunology, University of Pittsburgh. His laboratory is currently focused on understanding how intracellular communication mechanisms between immune cells and non-hematopoietic cells in the skin modulate cutaneous immunity and skin disease. The upcoming seminar will focus on the unique contributions of individual subsets of peripheral sensory neurons to the maintenance of cutaneous homeostasis and the development of inflammation.Air date: 4/17/2024 4:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

NIH Director's Seminar Series - The Paraventricular Thalamus: An Integrative Node Underlying Homeostatic Behavior
The nervous system orchestrates adaptive behaviors by intricately coordinating responses to internal cues and environmental stimuli. This involves integrating sensory input, managing competing motivational states, and drawing on past experiences to anticipate future outcomes. While traditional models attribute this complexity to interactions between the mesocorticolimbic system and hypothalamic centers, the specific nodes of integration have remained elusive. Recent research, including our own, sheds light on the midline thalamus's overlooked role in this process. We propose that the midline thalamus integrates internal st...

IIG Seminar - A neuro-immune circuit regulates nocturnal oscillations in intestinal Tregs
Dr. Mucida received his undergraduate degree in biology, with an emphasis on biochemistry and immunology, from the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil in 2000. He received his Ph.D. jointly from the University of S ã o Paulo and New York University in 2005. After postdoctoral studies at the La Jolla Institute from 2006 to 2010, he joined The Rockefeller University as Assistant Professor in 2010. In 2016, he was promoted to Associate Professor.

Understanding the Biological Mechanisms Underlying the Health Consequences of Racism, Marginalization, and Discrimination
The marginalization of groups based on socially constructed categories of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and other identities produces biological consequences that contribute to health disparities in a variety of diseases and conditions, including many under the purview of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). For example, substantial racial and ethnic disparities exist in obesity, diabetes, and end-stage kidney disease. Racism, marginalization, and discrimination (RMD) is embedded into the structure of American society, which increases exposure to adverse social determ...
