Advancing Research on Emotional Well-Being and Regulation of Eating
Given the rising levels of global stress, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, loneliness and mental health problems are on the rise, adding to the burden of chronic diseases. Most health-oriented research takes a harm-reduction approach, i.e., identifying and mitigating problems to reduce disease burden. Understanding and promoting emotional well-being (EWB) may yield another important strategy to accomplish this and significantly improve people ’ s health. Little has been known about how to best increase EWB in ways that also improve health.Dr. Epel is principal investigator of a new research network to develop resources...

Researchers are tuning the strings of your heart. See how their work could help keep a heart on beat
The heartbeat is the core of the symphony that is human anatomy. But when the heart loses its rhythm (arrhythmia), it can be a symptom of a genetic heart condition that causes thickening and scarring of heart muscles. These researchers have developed 3D models of a patient's heart, unique to each ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

Building Unifying Systems of Care Addressing Comorbidities in Women and Girls [Day 2]
This virtual workshop aims to address the gaps and opportunities for advancing community adoption and implementation of gender-relevant evidence-based mental health, substance use, cardiopulmonary, and metabolic disease prevention and treatment interventions for women from high-risk and marginalized communities across the lifespan. Addressing the social determinants of health and building infrastructure to ensure sustainability of innovations will be important cross-cutting themes. The workshop will bring together experts, including researchers, clinicians, and community and federal partners, to: 1) present the current sta...

Imaging Inflammation Resolution and Wound Repair
Speaker Anna Huttenlocher's research focuses on understanding the basic molecular mechanisms that regulate cell movement — in the context of wound healing, inflammation and cancer. Cell migration plays a central role in many different disease processes including cancer, heart disease and autoimmune disease. Insight into the mechanisms that regulate cell migration will contribute to our understanding of basic cellular processes, but will also aid in the identification of new treatment strategies for a wide variety of medical conditions. Despite extensive interest in the receptors and mechanisms involved during cell migrat...

Psoriasis as a Model to Study Inflammation and Cardiometabolic Diseases in Humans
NIH Director's Seminar Series
Inflammation is critical to atherosclerosis initiation, progression and complications. The goal of The Laboratory of Inflammation and Cardiometabolic Diseases, NHLBI, is to understand how chronic systemic inflammation drives development of cardiometabolic diseases in humans. Dr. Mehta ’ s research program has utilized psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, as a model to probe inflammatory, lipid and metabolic pathways associated with atherosclerosis progression. In 2012, Dr. Mehta founded the Psoriasis Atherosclerosis Cardiometabolic Initiative (PACI) at the NHLBI Intramural Program...
