Guilty by Association: Addressing Sustainability in Architecture Education

Guilty by Association

Over the last decade, there has been a dramatic resurgence of interest in large-artery hemodynamics. This has been driven principally by the accumulating evidence that aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of future cardiovascular risk in a variety of populations.1 The current gold-standard measure of aortic stiffness is aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV). This reflects the fact that it h...

Immunology. Guilty by association.

evant antigen. These data suggest a model in which populations of tissue-specifi c Tregs arise during thymic development and then accumulate within those peripheral tissues on the basis of antigen recognition (see the fi gure). As tumors develop, these preexisting tissue-resident Tregs are recruited into and/or expanded within the tumor microenvironment, potentially allowing them to exert local...

Telomeres, Aging and Exercise: Guilty by Association?

Telomeres are repetitive tandem DNA sequences that cap chromosomal ends protecting genomic DNA from enzymatic degradation. Telomeres progressively shorten with cellular replication and are therefore assumed to correlate with biological and chronological age. An expanding body of evidence suggests (i) a predictable inverse association between telomere length, aging and age-related diseases and (...

New visions for addressing sustainability.

Attaining sustainability will require concerted interactive efforts among disciplines, many of which have not yet recognized, and internalized, the relevance of environmental issues to their main intellectual discourse. The inability of key scientific disciplines to engage interactively is an obstacle to the actual attainment of sustainability. For example, in the list of Millennium Development...
