NIDCR Grand Rounds: Women in Science - Targeted therapy for fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome: Lessons learned and new approaches
Fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS) is a mosaic disease resulting in fractures, pain, and disability. G α s mutations disrupt differentiation of skeletal stem cells, leading to marrow fibrosis and increased bone-resorbing osteoclasts. The resulting bone develops one or many expansile, deforming lesions. There are no effective treatments for FD/MAS, and clinical studies have been challenging due to knowledge gaps in pathogenesis, natural history, and clinically relevant endpoints for clinical trials. Anti-resorptive therapy with bisphosphonates has been advocated due to prominent osteoclastogenesis in FD ti...

Navigating Pediatric to Adult Health Care: Lost in Transition Workshop (Day 2)
With improved rates of survival in childhood illnesses in the United States and globally, individuals are living longer with one or more chronic conditions. To meet the needs of diverse populations with chronic physical/medical conditions or intellectual/developmental disabilities as they transition from pediatric to adult centric services, barriers to successful health care transition (HCT), methods and measures for defining HCT, and the identification of promising practices must be better understood. In accordance with leading efforts in the transition field, the health care transition needs to take occur within a contex...

NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research: Addressing Neuroimaging Challenges Across Populations and Settings (Day 2)
Advances in neuroimaging techniques and analysis — many of which have been supported by the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, a collaborative trans-NIH framework that supports research on the nervous system — have dramatically increased our knowledge of the human brain and how it works.
However, many challenges related to neuroimaging have not experienced the same progress. For example, certain populations (e.g., children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, older adults with cognitive impairment, those who experience acute psychiatric symptoms during neuroimaging, and individuals with pa...
