Addressing Challenges in the Assessment of Botanical Dietary Supplement Safety (Day 2)
The safety of botanical dietary supplements, hereafter referred to as botanicals, is an important public health issue. According to the 2012 National Health Interview Survey, 17.7 percent of Americans reported having used nonvitamin, nonmineral dietary supplements (including botanicals) in the past 12 months (Clarke et al., 2015). Botanicals pose several unique challenges to efficacy and safety evaluation because of their inherent complexity and potential for wide variability in nominally related products. The interrelated challenges associated with the evaluation of botanicals include: (1) developing methods and criteria ...

The importance of growing slowly: roles for redox active "antibiotics" in microbial survival
Dianne Newman's research focuses on understanding the coevolution of microbial metabolism and environmental chemistry. The contexts that motivate her research span ancient sedimentary deposits to chronic infections. Her work is helping to reshape interpretations of ancient molecular fossils as well as redox-active "secondary" metabolites.For more information go to https://oir.nih.gov/walsAir date: 1/13/2016 3:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

John Daly Memorial Lecture: TRP Channels and Pain: From Physiology to Atomic Structure
Annual John Daly Memorial Lecture
Pungent irritants from pepper, mint and mustard plants have served as powerful for identifying molecules, cells and circuits that contribute to sensation and pain. Dr. Julius has exploited the power of natural products to reveal the molecular mechanisms behind how we feel, sense and touch.
It is quite appropriate for him to deliver the lecture in memory of Dr. John Daly, a noted natural products chemist and pharmacologist in NIDDK. Air date: 5/27/2015 1:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)
