The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health: Priorities for Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research.

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), which is part of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), has a broad interest in studying the biologic activities of natural products, especially those for which compelling evidence from preclinical research suggests biologic activities that may be beneficial to health or have a potential role in disease treatment, as well as products used extensively by the American public. As of 2023, use of cannabis for medical purposes is legal in 38 states and Washington, D.C.

An integrated metagenomic, metabolomic and transcriptomic survey of Populus across genotypes and environments.

Bridging molecular information to ecosystem-level processes would provide the capacity to understand system vulnerability and, potentially, a means for assessing ecosystem health. Here, we present an integrated dataset containing environmental and metagenomic information from plant-associated microbial communities, plant transcriptomics, plant and soil metabolomics, and soil chemistry and activity characterization measurements derived from the model tree species Populus trichocarpa. Soil, rhizosphere, root endosphere, and leaf samples were collected from 27 different P.

Effects of experimental warming on floral scent, display, and rewards in two subalpine herbs.

Background And Aims: Floral volatiles, visual traits, and rewards mediate attraction and defense in plant-pollinator and plant-herbivore interactions, but these floral traits may be altered by global warming through direct effects of temperature or longer term impacts on plant resources. We examined the effect of warming on floral and leaf volatile emissions, floral morphology, plant height, nectar production, and oviposition by seed predators.

Methods: We used open-top chambers that warmed plants in the field +2-3 °C on average (+6-11 °C increase in daily maxima) for 2-4 weeks across 1-3 years at 3 sites in Colorado, USA.

NCCIH Priorities for Natural Products Research.

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) is the lead agency within the U. S. federal government for complementary and integrative health research, which includes natural products.

Physiological Signal Monitoring for Identification of Emotional Dysregulation in Children.

Children, particularly those with atypical or delayed development, have a reduced ability to self-regulate their emotions and behaviour. After a number of anxiety or stress provoking events, this reduced regulatory ability can result in a meltdown. Extrinsic signals of an impending meltdown are often recognised and acted on by clinicians or parents.
