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...

NIH Office of Dietary Supplements: Dietary Supplements: What You Need to Know
The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements
More than half of adults and one-third of children in the United States take one or more dietary supplements such as multivitamins, omega-3 fish oil, St. John ’ s wort, or melatonin. During this presentation, nutrition scientists from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) will provide an overview of dietary supplements and describe what you need to know to inform your decision-making about whether or when to take these products.
Joseph M. Betz, Ph.D., ODS Acting Director, will give a brief introduction to this seminar.
Carol J. Haggans, M.S., Registered Dietitian and ODS Scient...

Understanding and Modeling Aging
This is the rescheduled annual Florence Mahoney Lecture on Aging. Speaker Anne Brunet, Ph.D., Stanford University, is interested in the molecular mechanisms of aging and longevity, with a particular emphasis on the nervous system. Her lab is interested in identifying pathways involved in delaying aging in response to external stimuli such as availability of nutrients and mates. She also seeks to understand the mechanisms that influence the rejuvenation of old stem cells. Her lab has pioneered the naturally short-lived African killifish as a new model to explore the regulation of aging and age-related diseases.For more info...

Savages cry easily and are afraid of the dark: What It Means to Talk about Race and African American health
National Library of Medicine History of Medicine
This talk examines the impact of racism on African American health, looking at pervasive inequities that drive higher rates of morbidity and death in the United States. Where once explicitly racist theories of African American bodies and minds dominated public and scientific discourse, contemporar y understandings of racial inequities in health tend to use less incendiary language, but still conceive of poor health as fundamentally a problem of individuals. Such framing centers health behaviors including diet and visits to the doctor, and leaves the role of social structure...

Breastmilk Ecology: Genesis of Infant Nutrition (BEGIN) Meeting Series: Working Group 5: Translation and Integration
A deeper understanding of the biology of human milk is essential to address ongoing and emerging questions about infant feeding practices. Human milk is a complex biological system, a matrix of many interacting parts, that is more than the sum of those parts. Its production needs to be studied as an ecology that consists of inputs from the mother, her breastfeeding baby, and their respective environments. The Breastmilk Ecology: Genesis of Infant Nutrition (BEGIN) meeting series is designed to examine this ecology, its functional implications for both mother and infant. The goal is to support the research community ’ s e...
