A new non-contact, remote biometric tool could be the next advance in computer security
A University at Buffalo-led team has developed a computer security system using the dimensions of your heart as your identifier. The system uses low-level Doppler radar to measure your heart, and then continually monitors your heart to make sure no one else has stepped in to run your computerThis is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.

Biophysics and Biology of K+ Channels
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Ion channels catalyze the diffusion of inorganic ions down their electrochemical gradients across cell membranes. Because the ionic movements are passive, ion channels would seem to be extraordinarily simple physical systems, yet they are responsible for electrical signaling in living cells. Among their many functions, ion channels control the pace of the heart, regulate the secretion of hormones into the bloodstream, and generate the electrical impulses underlying information transfer in the nervous system.
Dr. MacKinnon's research is aimed at understanding the physical an...

NIH Research Festival Plenary Session II - " Inflammatory Diseases "
As our understanding of innate immune mechanisms and their relationship to adaptive immunity has become clearer, we have grown to appreciate how inflammation lies at the heart of nearly all diseases. We now see that, on many levels, all cells are “ immune ” cells and that inflammation and metabolism are intrinsically linked, a revolutionary concept that is opening new pathways to cures. This session explores the broad impact of inflammatory mechanisms on a broad range of disorders and their treatment.For more information go tohttps://researchfestival.nih.gov/2017/plenary-sessionsAir date: 9/14/2017 10:00:00 AM (Source:...

Training and Mentoring the Next Generation of Health Equity Researchers: Insights from the Field
The Center for Translation Research and Implementation Science (CTRIS), a part of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), fosters and supports an integrated portfolio of late-stage T4 translation research, implementation science, and related research training in heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders. CTRIS serves as a strategic focal point at NHLBI to identify optimal research strategies for the delivery of evidence-based interventions which, when scaled up, will improve population level health for all and reduce related health inequities. An important part of the CTRIS mission is the commitment to r...

A Nation Under Pressure: The Public Health Consequences of Stress in America
Stephen E. Straus Distinguished Lecture in the Science of Complementary Therapies· Explore potential contributors to stress levels in America· Discuss the individual and population level health effects of chronic stress· Identify evidence-based strategies for managing chronic stress
Stress levels are high in the United States. In a 2015 national survey, 24 percent of adults reported extreme stress, an increase from 18 percent just one year earlier. About one-third reported their stress had increased over the past year; less than half as many said it had decreased. The top sources of stress were money, work, and family r...

A new device developed by engineers is able to feel the forces generated by swimming bacteria
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed a miniature device that's sensitive enough to feel the forces generated by swimming bacteria and hear the beating of heart muscle cells. The device is a nano-sized optical fiber that's about 100 times thinner than a human hair. ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)
