INCLUDE Project: Investigator's Meeting
The INCLUDE (INvestigation of Co-occurring conditions across the Lifespan to Understand Down syndromE) Project will convene leaders in the field of Down syndrome research to advance our understanding of conditions that affect individuals with Down syndrome and the general population, such as Alzheimer ’ s disease/dementia, autism, cataracts, celiac disease, congenital heart disease, sleep apnea and diabetes.Air date: 4/15/2024 9:00:00 AM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

Accelerating Progress in Celiac Disease Research Workshop (Day 1)
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that occurs in genetically susceptible individuals who develop an immune response to ingested gluten. This disease affects greater than 1% of the US population, and incidence appears to have been increasing over the last several decades. The only known treatment is life-long strict avoidance of all forms of wheat, rye, and barley. Although a gluten-free diet is an effective treatment in many individuals, recent research has revealed that up to 50% of individuals following a gluten-free diet are inadvertently exposed to gluten, and a substantial minority develop persistent or recurren...

Germs, genes, and host defense
Cisca Wijmenga has a long standing interest in understanding the molecular basis of the host immune system and how genetic variation leads to dysregulation of a proper immune response. She is particular interested in diseases associated such an imbalance, in particular celiac disease (a common autoimmune disorder) and candidiasis (a common infectious agent causing sepsis) . Her research group focusing on the regulatory networks of immune cells and their perturbation by genetic variation or physiological stressors like infectious agents or dietary gluten. To this end she founded a functional genomics cohort (LIfeLines Deep)...

NIH Research Festival: A Celebration of Intramural Science Plenary Session III: Chronic Inflammation
Most of the NIH institutes and centers are involved in studies for which chronic inflammation is a common denominator. Allergies, asthma, heart and circulatory disease, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, some cancers, multiple sclerosis, and possibly Alzheimer’s. These are just a few debilitating diseases that can originate partly or entirely from the immune system’s aggressive response to perceived harmful stimuli. Aging itself has been described as the totality of a lifetime of chronic inflammation. Better understanding the causes and control of chronic inflammation thus can lead to pro...
