Cytokine interference in infection
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Dr. O'Garra's laboratory studies cells and molecules that control our immune systems to understand how they respond to infections and influence the outcomes and what goes wrong when infections damage healthy cells. For example, some infected individuals are protected while others go on to progress to disease such as tuberculosis (TB), which is caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). TB is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and efforts to control this disease are hampered by difficulties with diagnosis, prevention, and treatment...

Special Tuesday WALS Lecture: The fast and the furious: mechanisms underlying rapid cell motility
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Directed crawling motility of animal-cell types ranging from neurons to macrophages requires the coordinated force-generating activity of multiple mechanical elements. Much molecular detail is now known about the constituents of some mechanical submachines such as the polymerizing actin network and the adhesion complexes, but it is not yet clear how these elements all work together to generate coherent, directed motion at the level of the whole cell. In order to understand cellular mechanisms of large-scale coordination, the Theriot laboratory focuses on two extremely fast-...

Mitochondrial Behavior
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
The research in the Nunnari laboratory is devoted to understanding how the behavior of mitochondria is controlled in cells. Specifically, we are focused on two fundamental problems. The first is how the structure of mitochondria is established and maintained within cells. We are currently elucidating the molecular mechanisms that underlie mitochondrial division and fusion. Our second area of interest is on understanding how the mitochondrial genome is organized and faithfully segregated within the organelle. The inheritance of mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is i...

Demystifying Medicine 2019 - Premature and Unusual Causes of Coronary Heart Disease
Demystifying Medicine 2019
Coronary heart disease is the most common cause of death worldwide, comprising nearly 16 percent of all deaths annual. While many risk factors are known — aging, smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise — in some cases, the etiology often remains a mystery. More worrisome is the increasing presence of the disease in younger populations, with injury to the inner layer of a coronary artery sometimes manifesting itself as early as childhood.
For this Demystifying Medicine lecture, we bring you two speakers who are providing new insights into Coronary heart disease by studying unique patient populati...

How to bust up a bacterial biofilm
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
The Bakaletz laboratory ’ s research focus is attempting to understand the pathogenic mechanisms operational in the highly prevalent pediatric disease, otitis media (OM) (or middle ear infection). Specifically, we are interested in elucidating how upper respiratory tract viruses predispose the middle ear to invasion by any of the three predominant bacterial pathogens of OM (nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Streptococcus pneumoniae). We are also interested in understanding how bacterial biofilms contribute to the recurrence and chronicity of OM...

NIDCR Grand Rounds: Mechanoregeneration via Biomaterials
NIDCR Clinical Research Fellowship Grand Rounds
Dr. David Mooney ’ s research is based on the question, “ How do mammalian cells receive information from the materials in their environment? ” By using the tools of bioengineering and cell and molecular biology, he studies the mechanisms by which chemical or mechanical signals are sensed by cells, and how these signals alter cellular proliferation and specialization to either promote tissue growth or destruction. His research results inform the design and synthesis of new biomaterials that regulate the gene expression of interacting cells for a variety of tissue engine...
