Adventures with the Argonautes
NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series Dr. Zamore is professor and chair of the RNA Therapeutics Institute at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He specializes in the study of argonautes, the only known family of proteins that can be programmed with any RNA or DNA sequence to make sequence-specific regulators of transcription, mRNA stability, or translation. Animals, plants, and other eukaryotes use Argonaute proteins, guided by short RNA sequences, to defend cells against transposons and viruses. Many bacterial genomes also encode Ar...

IIG Seminar - Immunological Mechanisms of Cancer Defense: Reining in Dynamic Cancer Cell and Microenvironment Reciprocity
IIG Seminar The immune system employs two distinct defense strategies against infections: microbe-directed pathogen destruction typified by type 1 immunity, and host-directed pathogen containment exemplified by type 2 immunity in induction of tissue repair. Akin to infectious diseases, cancer progresses with cancer cell acquisition of microorganism-like behavior propagating at the expense of the host. While immunological mechanisms of cancer cell destruction are well defined, whether immune-mediated cancer cell containment can be induced is poorly understood. In this presentation, I will discuss how type 2 immunity can be ...
