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...

Human pluripotent stem cells in understanding genetic cardiovascular disease and effects of drugs
NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
There's a growing interest in how the derivation of many different cell types from human pluripotent stem cells-embryonic stem cells (HESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPS cells)-could be used for potential cell therapy and as a platform for drug discovery and toxicity. In particular, new methods of introducing specific disease mutations into human pluripotent stem cells and/or reprogramming them to derive hiPS cells, allow the creation of disease models " in a dish " so scientists can study ways to treat diseases or slow them down. To move the field forward, ...

Secrets and Lyase: New Roles of S1P Signaling in the Immune System
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) signaling plays critical roles in the cardiovascular and immune systems. We have recently characterized a mouse that lacks the S1P transporter SPNS2. SPNS2-deficient mice have only a minor reduction in blood S1P and hence grossly normal vascular permeability, but a dramatic reduction in lymph S1P and hence severely disrupted lymphocyte trafficking. These mice have revealed unexpected functions of S1P gradients in positioning immune cells within lymphoid organs, as well as in supporting lymphocyte survival.
Dr. Susan Schwab is Associate Professor at the ...

NHLBI Forum on Heart, Lung, and Sleep Disorders in American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian (AI/AN/NH) Youth (Day 2)
The goal of this forum is to bring together experts to identify knowledge gaps and research opportunities that can facilitate the prevention and future treatment interventions of HLS disease outcomes among AI/AN/NH youth. The forum will focus on modifiable risk factors that contribute to morbidity and mortality due to HLS diseases among this minority demographic. Evidence of epidemiological risk exists in older AI/AN/NH populations, but not the younger populations. AI/AN/NH children exhibit a poor health trajectory entering adulthood and these disease pathways remain unknown. The causes must be elucidated to provide the ev...
