Transforming Hypertension Diagnosis and Management in the Era of Artificial Intelligence
High blood pressure, known as hypertension, is still a significant health problem worldwide. To better diagnose and manage the disease, healthcare providers need more reliable and exact measurements. Machine learning or artificial intelligence tools could offer better ways to improve current approaches for the detection, monitoring, and management of hypertension.
Join the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute for a virtual workshop that brings together health care providers and researchers with expertise in hypertension along with data scientists, engineers, and implementation scientists. Participants will explore d...

Sea urchin populations in Florida Keys unaffected by ecosystem change
A study on sea urchins in the Florida Keys suggests that the populations of sand dollars and heart urchins, pictured here, and sea biscuits have remained stable since the 1960s despite escalating environmental stress caused by human activity.

Health Disparities among Sexual and Gender Minorities (SGM) - Day 1
The goal of this virtual two-day meeting is to identify priority research areas to understand and address SGM health disparities. Specifically, the workshop objectives are to identify research gaps in: (1) data sources and measures that can be used to assess and address SGM health disparities, (2) mechanisms and pathways that drive/cause SGM health disparities, and (3) interventions with the potential to mitigate/reduce SGM health disparities. The workshop will bring together a diverse set of researchers with expertise on important health outcomes (e.g., cancer, mental/behavioral health, cardiovascular disease, diabetes an...

IIG: The diversity of neutrophils
Dr. Hidalgo is interested in the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which innate immune cells and their hematopoietic precursors contribute to organismal physiology and pathology. As a postdoctoral trainee he developed and used live imaging modalities to study acute inflammatory disease and discovered the receptors that mediate early neutrophil recruitment, and the signals that cause acute vascular injury. As an independent researcher at CNIC (Spain), his laboratory further developed tools to study thrombo-inflammation and the dramatic consequences in several organs, including the lung, brain and heart. The Hidalgo lab d...

Sex-specific in vitro models of aortic valve stenosis
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women, yet our mechanistic knowledge of the sex-specific molecular and cellular mechanisms that guide cardiovascular disease progression, particularly in women, remain poorly characterized. Studies evaluating disease mechanisms rarely state the sex of cells used for in vitro studies or are performed primarily in male animal models, causing our gap in knowledge. My laboratory uses precision biomaterials as in vitro and in vivo tools to dissect mechanisms that contribute to sexual dimorphisms in cardiovascular diseases, specifically aortic valve stenosis. I...

2022 Stephen E. Straus Lecture: From the Mouths of Babes: What Can Research on Babies, Moms, Stress, and Substance Use Tell Us About Resilience?
Stress and adversity experienced during early development can exert a profound and persistent imprint on our physiology, brain, and health across the lifespan. This imprint can lead to long-term health outcomes ranging from substance use and depression to obesity and cardiovascular disease. There is also emerging evidence that stress and adversity may be transmitted from one generation to the next. However, protective experiences may prevent or mitigate these effects.
This lecture will provide examples of findings from Dr. Laura Stroud ’ s laboratory focused on revealing the earliest intergenerational transmission of mat...
