Assessing the feasibility of using salivary microRNAs as biomarkers to distinguish between chronic stress and childhood trauma in African American young women in an exploratory pilot study
Our analyses shows that miRNA extracted from salivary exosomes can be a reliable biomarker for stress and miR-135a-3p appears to be the most upregulated between LCS and HCS individuals and a potential candidate to corroborate self-reports on self-assessments and predict negative health outcomes. Given that HCS+HA did not show an upregulation of miR-135-3p but had similar expression in the other three miRs compared to HCS group may indicate an ada…
Health disparities in mortality among individuals with HIV-associated dementia in South Carolina
HIV disproportionately affects the South compared to other regions of the US. Some people living with HIV (PLWH) may acquire HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), of which HIV-associated dementia (HAD) is the most severe form. This study aimed to examine the disparities in mortality among individuals with HAD. Data were obtained from the South Carolina Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Registry from 2010 to 2016 (HAD: n = 505; N…
Lessons Learned in Implementing an Aging Research Training Program for Underrepresented Minority Students
This brief report provides an overview of lessons learned through evaluation of the first five years of the NIA-funded South Carolina-Advancing Diversity in Aging Research (SC-ADAR) undergraduate program, whose goal is to increase the number of qualified underrepresented minority (URM) students who pursue scientific graduate studies in programs focusing on medicine, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and aging. Partnering with five…
