Dr. Matthew D. Lynes Faculty Scientist/Maine Health Institute for Research Center for Molecular Medicine  Host: David GoldhamerThermogenesis in the Critically Ill Research in the Lynes laboratory is aimed at understanding how thermogenic adipose tissue, which is a type of fat tissue in mice and humans that is specialized for heat generation, develops and functions in normal physiology as well as diseased states. Activated thermogenic adipose tissue is associated with decreased obesity and reduced risk for cardiovascular disease, making therapeutic strategies that increase the amount and activation of thermogenic fat attractive targets to improve public healthAbout Matthew LynesMatt Lynes is a Faculty Scientist I at MaineHealth Institute for Research in Scarborough, Maine and holds appointments as a faculty member at Tufts University, the University of Maine and The Roux Institute of Northeastern University. His lab studies the development and function of adipose tissue, and he has contributed to studies identifying the cellular progenitors that give rise to brown fat cells as well as circulating biomarkers that can be used to measure brown fat function in humans. Currently, his lab is trying to understand the role of brown adipose tissue in critically ill patients using samples from clinical trials that are ongoing at Maine Medical Center.Publications:Lipokines and Thermogenesis (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31504387/)Deciphering adipose tissue heterogeneity (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28763833/)Bioenergetics and Obesity (https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.1201/9781003437673-9/bioenergetics-obesity-matthew-lynes-yu-hua-tseng)Lynes Lab Website (https://www.lyneslab.com/)

Understanding and Addressing Parental Stress is designed to help participants gain insight into the root causes of parental stress across developmental stages, the disproportionate burdens faced by low-income and marginalized families, and the lasting impact on mental health and parenting capacity. The training will offer practical tools and strategies to engage and support parents through trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and father-inclusive approaches. Participants in this webinar will: • Understand the current statistics and trends related to parental stress in the U.S., with a focus on disparities affecting parents with limited access to services. • Explore how stress manifests during early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence, including financial, emotional, and time-related challenges. • Analyze how poverty, social isolation, work-family conflict, and limited service access intensify stress for parents, particularly for fathers in marginalized communities. • Identify evidence-based interventions, community support mechanisms, and policy recommendations that professionals can use to support stressed parents. • Learn techniques for engaging fathers in stress reduction supports and services, especially those who are often left out of traditional parenting programs.
