Elucidation of GLI1-Notch1 axis as key determinant of racial disparity in TNBC growth in African American and White American women.

The physician involving the woman as much as she wants in her health care is significantly associated with up-to-date dual cervical and colorectal cancer screening compared to being up to date in only cervical cancer screening.

The vaginal immunoproteome in pregnancy is more predictive of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) than maternal characteristics alone, with sPTB cases showing heightened pro-inflammatory profiles accompanied by reduced levels of antimicrobial proteins/peptides.

Genetic predisposition to uterine leiomyomas arises from variation at loci for genetic stability and genitourinary development, and in part explains the frequent occurrence of the condition in women with African origin.

A systems-level analysis of the biomedical workforce in the US shows that current strategies to enhance faculty diversity are unlikely to have a significant impact, and that there is a need to increase the number of PhDs from underrepresented minority backgrounds who move on to postdoctoral positions.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, cancer-related screening and healthcare practices varied (by age, race/ethnicity, education, and comorbidities), and considering these differences in high-risk individuals' monitoring is important as undiagnosed cases or poor prognosis may increase due to delayed screening/treatment.

Grant applications submitted to the NIH by African-American/Black PIs are less likely to be funded than applications from white PIs, and the NIH must find a solution that eliminates this racial disparity.

White principal investigators applying to the National Science Foundation are consistently funded at higher rates than most non-white PIs.

Mentorship, financial security and a positive sense of self-worth increase the likelihood that underrepresented minority and female postdocs will pursue a career in academia.
