Trade-off Resiliencies, Competing Disease Risks, and Ageotypes Virtual Workshop (Day 2)
Age is the primary risk factor for most major medical conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. Aging, disease development, respectively resilience, are thus interconnected, but the molecular pathways and cellular mechanisms involved are not well understood. Deep multi-omics profiling appears to distinguish four molecular patterns of aging in individuals, “ ageotypes, ” that may be connected to competing risk of age-associated diseases. Recent research indicates that development of CVD or cancer are perhaps due to trade-offs between certain genes and processes,...

NIH Director's Seminar Series: Molecular regulation of synaptic inhibition
The vast majority of fast inhibitory transmission in the brain is mediated by GABA acting on GABAA receptors (GABAARs), which provides inhibitory balance to excitatory drive and controls neuronal output. Dysregulations of GABAARs and inhibitory synapses have been implicated in a variety of brain disorders, such as epilepsy, anxiety and depression. Pharmacological intervention for these disorders relies on several drug classes that target GABAARs, such as benzodiazepines and neurosteroids. The goal of Lu laboratory is to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the regulation of GABAARs and inhibitory syn...

NIH Director's Seminar Series: Exploring the functions of skin as an immunological interface
The skin is a vital barrier against environmental stressors such as thermal changes, sunlight, allergens, toxins, and microbes. An array of cell types including epithelia, fibroblasts, neurons, and vasculature act together to ensure its function. Immune cells have emerged as orchestrators of skin biology that collectively serve to reinforce the barrier against external threats. The composition and function of immune cells are constantly tuned by skin structures, microbial and inflammatory stimuli. In turn, skin immune cells engage in an active dialogue with the tissue to regulate the microbiota, limit microbial invasion an...
