Collection of Blood and/or Bone Marrow for Investigation and Characterization of Normal and Abnormal Cell Growth
Recruiting
The collection of Blood and/or Bone Marrow from patients with blood disorders, blood cell malignancies and associated conditions will serve as a convenient and comprehensive source of tissue to give us further information about the differences between normal blood cells and blood cells of affected individuals. This will be an invaluable asset for understanding the biology of blood disorders. The collected samples will be used by investigators for studies including immunology, molecular biology a...

Influences of Female Sex and Reproductive Hormones on Physiological Aspects of Heat Acclimation
Recruiting
Women are often understudied in thermal physiology research, leaving recommendations for Soldier safety and performance in hot conditions based largely on data collected in men. Female sex hormones estradiol and progesterone clearly have non-reproductive physiological effects, including influences on thermoregulatory and cardiovascular function. However, mechanisms of differing physiological adaptations to repeated heat exposure (i.e., heat acclimation) as a function of reproductive hormone stat... Read More

Sirtuin-NAD Activator in Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting
The primary objectives are to: To determine whether MIB-626, after its daily oral administration, penetrates the blood-brain barrier in humans by measuring the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of MIB-626 and its key metabolites, nicotinamide (NAM), NR, 2-PY, and MeNAM at baseline and on day 90 at steady state. To evaluate whether oral MIB-626 administration engages the sirtuin-NAD pathway by determining the abundance of NAD (a SIRT1 substrate) in the brain using ultra-high field 7T magn... Read More

Intervention For AYAS With Cancer Risk Syndromes
Recruiting
This research is being done because there is a need to improve cancer risk communication and decision-making among adolescents and young adults. In this study, the investigators are looking at whether using a chatbot and online portal for cancer risk information helps improve communication and decision-making. Over 70,000 adolescents and young adults (AYAs) are diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. every year and up to 10% have genetic changes (or, mutations) that put them at a higher risk of devel...
