ADVANTAGE Working Group
Agriculture and Diet: Value Added for Nutrition, Translation/Application in a Global Ecology
The Advantage Project
The ADVANTAGE Working Group is an effort to better understand the intersection of food systems, diet, nutrition, and health in a changing environment by addressing how the current realities of climate/environmental change (CEC) are affecting dietary choices, patterns, and relevant aspects of the f ood system, as well as implications for specific public health outcomes of interest. This effort seeks to determine how an ecological approach can be applied to assess the nature and impact of these relationships ...

4th NCI Symposium on Cancer Health Disparities - Day 2
Cancer health disparities affect millions of people across the United States and globally. Disparities in cancer burden are evident by geography, race/ethnicity, genetic ancestry, immigrant status, culture, gender, sexual orientation (LGBTQ+), and socioeconomic class, among other factors. Cancer disparities are not only due to barriers in access to health care, but also due to cultural barriers, structural racism and environmental disadvantage, ancestry-related risk factors, persistent co-morbidities, and chronic stress exposure because of discrimination and social isolation. The challenge of reducing and eliminating healt...

ECHO/NIH Return of Individual Research Results to Participants Workshop
Purpose: Identify best practices for large-sample studies of pregnancy and childhood to ethically and feasibly return individual research results to participants.Crosscutting Themes:How should recommendations differ for returning individual results to pregnant people and children versus those of other adults?Most research on returning individual results focuses on genetics results; how can we broaden to include environmental data from bioassays, physical measures, and self-reports?How can the workshop guide facilitation of equity in return of individual results?For more information go tohttps://cvent.me/ErbowlAir date: 3/1...

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.

NIH Director ’ s Seminar: The Power and Potential of the Microenvironment in Cancer Metastasis
NIH Director ’ s Seminar
The tumor microenvironment – cellular and molecular changes in non-cancer cells and tissues – drive cancer progression. The pre-metastatic niche is the microenvironment important for metastatic initiation that is established at distant sites in response to primary tumor factors during cancer progression. We first characterized this microenvironment, which involves changes in both stromal and immune populations, in the pre-metastatic lungs of tumor-bearing mice. We have identified unique changes in these pre-metastatic sites by flow cytometry and RNA sequencing approaches, defining a gene sign...

NIH Director ’ s Seminar Series: The Power and Potential of the Microenvironment in Cancer Metastasis
Although genetic including epigenetic alterations are the driving events in cancer, the tumor microenvironment, the cellular and molecular changes in non-cancer cells and tissues are altered during cancer progression. The microenvironment is involved in multiple aspect of cancer progression. Tumor metastasis is a critical step in the progression of solid tumors that is associated with patient mortality, and the metastatic microenvironment is a key regulator of this process. The pre-metastatic niche is the microenvironment important for metastatic initiation that is established at distant sites in response to primary tumor ...

IIG Seminar - Tissue-Resident Memory T cells in cancer.
The Mami-Choua ï b laboratory has identified several constitutive elements of the tumor environment (TME) involved in the regulation of antitumor T-cell response. In particular: the influence of TGF- β on the expression and signaling of CD103 in CD8+ resident memory T cells (TRM), and the role of this integrin to sustain specific cytotoxicity and to promote T-cell recruitment within epithelial tumor regions; the role of hypoxia, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and p53 in controlling tumor cell susceptibility to T-cell-mediated killing; and the effect of Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene mutations in promoting PD-L1 ex...
