A Nation Under Pressure: The Public Health Consequences of Stress in America
Stephen E. Straus Distinguished Lecture in the Science of Complementary Therapies· Explore potential contributors to stress levels in America· Discuss the individual and population level health effects of chronic stress· Identify evidence-based strategies for managing chronic stress
Stress levels are high in the United States. In a 2015 national survey, 24 percent of adults reported extreme stress, an increase from 18 percent just one year earlier. About one-third reported their stress had increased over the past year; less than half as many said it had decreased. The top sources of stress were money, work, and family r...

Law of STAT fives, root orchestrators of lymphocyte homeostasis and function
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
The transcription factor STAT5 is fundamental to the mammalian immune system. Operating downstream of cytokines and growth factors, it impacts all aspects of lymphocyte biology, from general cellular processes like proliferation and apoptosis, to specialized immunological programs like effector and regulatory T cell differentiation. Genetic studies in humans underscore its widespread influence as mutations of STAT5 or upstream activators manifest varied Alejandro Villarino, NIAMS, NIHimmunological phenotypes including immunodeficiency, autoimmunity and hematological malignancies. Mo...

The plasticity and migratory responses of innate lymphoid cells: more similarity to T cells than you thought
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
The identification of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) was a major step forward in developing a better understanding of host defense. Although ILC lack the capacity for antigen recognition, they show striking similarities with T cell subsets in both the transcription factors that govern their differentiation and the effector cytokines they produce. One major difference in the existing concepts of ILC and adaptive T cell responses is that the former are considered to act largely as tissue resident effectors whereas T cells migrate from secondary lymphoid tissues of activation to peripher...
