Article Abstract

Individuals in the United States from Asian and Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) backgrounds face a distinct set of cancer-related disparities. In this study, in conjunction with the American Association for Cancer Research Asian/AANHPI Task Force, we highlight the unique disparities faced by AANHPI patients and professionals, and we offer actionable recommendations on how to strengthen AANHPI leadership in cancer research.

Research has not examined regular use or attitudes promoting use, particularly taking an approach grounded in intersectionality and minority stressors. The present study examines how regular cannabis use, perceptions of risk, approval from parents and friends, and peer norms of use differ across multiple social positions.

Within most tissues, the extracellular microenvironment provides mechanical cues that guide cell fate and function. Changes in the extracellular matrix such as aberrant deposition, densification and increased crosslinking are hallmarks of late-stage fibrotic diseases that often lead to organ dysfunction. Biomaterials have been widely used to mimic the mechanical properties of the fibrotic matrix and study pathophysiologic cell function.
