Meet your recently tenured colleagues: Leslie Baier (NIDDK), pictured; Mark Hoon (NIDCR); Stephanie Studenski (NIA); Bryan Traynor (NIA); Adrian Wiestner (NHLBI); and Dmitri Zaykin (NIEHS).
NIH researchers have found that the levels of malaria-causing parasites in the blood don’t necessarily determine the severity of the disease; that the drug Ecstasy can be fatal in warm environments; and that TGF-beta regulates the balance of the immune system. They have also discovered the structure of a receptor that plays a key role in blood clotting.
NIEH's Nonneoplastic Lesion Atlas can help you identify nonneoplastic lesions; dkNET provides one-stop Web-based "shopping" for biomedical resources sucha as data, reagents, and tools.

The memory of the late NIAID scientist K.T. Jeang was honored with a new annual lecture series and a garden; NIH’s new associate director for data science, Phil Bourne, is on board; and a black bear raised a ruckus recently on the NIH campus.
