Advancing Research on Emotional Well-Being and Regulation of Eating
Given the rising levels of global stress, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, loneliness and mental health problems are on the rise, adding to the burden of chronic diseases. Most health-oriented research takes a harm-reduction approach, i.e., identifying and mitigating problems to reduce disease burden. Understanding and promoting emotional well-being (EWB) may yield another important strategy to accomplish this and significantly improve people ’ s health. Little has been known about how to best increase EWB in ways that also improve health.Dr. Epel is principal investigator of a new research network to develop resources...

Cooperative Pain Education and Self-Management (COPES): A Technology-Assisted Intervention for Pain
The second talk in the spring 2021 Integrative Medicine Research Lecture Series presented by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health is by Dr. Alicia Heapy of the Yale School of Medicine/Veterans Affairs Connecticut Healthcare System. Evidence supports behavioral and self-management therapies for people with chronic pain; however, there are many obstacles to their widespread implementation and uptake. Technology offers a way to address a number of such barriers. Dr. Heapy will discuss research she is leading in the Veterans Health Administration health care system on a nondrug intervention for pain —...

Systems Biology Interest Group: Learning to rewire cells
Systems Biology Interest Group
Traditionally, biology has focused on deconstructing and mapping the molecular systems that carryout complex regulatory functions. We still lack, however, a more global understanding of the design principles governing how cells solve problems and make regulatory decisions. To address this problem, we have been complementing deconstructionist approaches with synthetic approaches in which we ask how to build molecular systems that can execute particular regulatory tasks. Are there a limited number of molecular algorithms that evolution can use to solve common physiological tasks? If so, can we ...

Epithelial molecules shaping immunosurveillance by local T cells
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
The thesis of conventional immunology is centralized control whereby responses to infection within tissues are decided within lymph nodes, from which effector T lymphocytes are dispatched to quell regional disturbances. But this cannot explain the observation that many tissues at steady state are T cell-rich. Do such cells simply provide responses to infection or do they provide more generalized means to sustain tissue integrity and organ function? Likewise, how are such cells able to respond to acute stress but not drive constitutive tissue inflammation? And, how do immune cell –...
