WALS Lecture: Brain-Wide Silencing of Prion Protein and Treatment of Prion Diseases by AAV-Dediated Delivery of CHARM an Engineered Compact Epigenetic Editor
Genetic medicines hold great promise but are often di ffi cult to translate to the clinic. Current CRISPR-based DNA-editing technologies are complex large molecules that are challenging to deliver and have been associated with unintended editing outcomes. We therefore favored an epigenetic editing approach to permanently turn o ff prion protein expression in the brain without altering the underlying DNA sequence or leading to continued expression of an altered mRNA and protein. This strategy uses DNA methylation to achieve long-term transcriptional silencing. However, current epigenetic editors are cytotoxic in some circu...

Prioritizing Discovery and Advancements in Arrhythmia Therapies
The major goals for this working group would be to provide new directions and strategies for anti-arrhythmia research and therapy by:identifying basic science findings that are ready for translation into clinical research;evaluating the research gaps and barriers in order to expedite understanding and targeting of anti-arrhythmia drug and procedural device-based therapies;recognizing clinical settings in which control of long-term structural modulators and arrhythmia triggers might be particularly effective;pinpointing approaches to developing effective management of arrhythmia, reduce irreversible cardiac remodeling, and ...

NHLBI Obesity, Nutrition, and Physical Activity Seminar: Cardiovascular Health in the Peripartum Period: Drivers and Determinants
In this one-hour webinar, Dr. Sadiya S. Khan, MD, MSc, will present an overview of “ Cardiovascular Health in the Peripartum Period: Drivers and Determinants. ” She will discuss how cardiovascular health in the peripartum period is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes with short- and long-term implications for the birthing adult and offspring. Dr. Khan will also share how upstream drivers, including social, psychological, and lifestyle factors, offer opportunities for intervention to improve cardiovascular health. Finally, she will discuss why interventions should include individual-, health-system, community, an...
