IOTN Capstone Meeting
One of the original Blue Ribbon Panel Recommendations was for NCI to create a translational science network devoted exclusively to immunotherapy. To achieve these goals, the Immuno-Oncology Translational Network (IOTN) was established to foster collaborative team science approaches to accelerate the discovery of new immune targets and evaluate novel immune-based therapies and combination approaches that eliminate established cancers in adults or to prevent cancers before they occur.This IOTN Capstone Meeting will highlight scientific accomplishments and inter-Network collaborations across the IOTN. The IOTN will be ending ...

Barbara Barnes Rogers, CRNP, MN, AOCN, ANP-BC - An Oncology Nurse MasterClass on Oral Therapy in B-Cell Malignancies: Insights on Evidence, Practical Strategies, and the Nurse-Patient Partnership
Go online to PeerView.com/TTY860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Recent developments in B-cell lymphoma have increased the availability of novel, orally administered therapies. Nurse professionals managing patients with B-cell cancers play a central role in caring for patients who are eligible for treatment with oral therapeutics, including BTK, PI3K, and BCL-2 inhibitors, and immunomodulating agents. In this activity, based on a recent live symposium held at the ONS 44th Annual Congress, an expert nurse faculty panel offers an in-depth look at the integra...

A community approach to breast cancer prevention: addressing health disparities
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Dr. Adams-Campbell's areas of research focus on addressing health disparities with particular emphasis on cancers that disproportionately impact African-Americans. Dr. Adams-Campbell's research focuses on lifestyle interventions including physical activity, energy balance, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and oral health among minority and underserved populations. She has considerable expertise in cohort studies including the Women ’ s Health Initiative and the Black Women ’ s Health Study (which follows a cohort of African American women to gather epidemiological data on h...

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...

Autotherapies: Enhancing Our Innate Healing Capacity
Autotherapies are treatments based on the body ’ s natural ability to heal and protect itself. For example, immunotherapy harnesses the body ’ s immune cells to fight cancer and is now in clinical use. In the dental, oral, and craniofacial region, autotherapies could be used to selectively signal the body to repair and regenerate tissue, trigger immune responses, and restore a natural microbial balance. These strategies might also help to heal damaged or diseased tissues in other parts of the body, prevent or treat infections, fight cancer, treat autoimmune conditions, and enhance overall health.
Advancing the developm...

Connecting Rare and Common Illnesses: Lessons Learned from Dyskeratosis Congenita, the Prototypic Telomere Biology Disorder
Director's Seminar Series
Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a cancer-prone inherited bone marrow failure syndrome classically diagnosed by the presence of the mucocutaneous triad of nail dysplasia, abnormal skin pigmentation, and oral leukoplakia. While the classic triad is not always present, very short leukocyte telomeres are diagnostic of DC and patients with DC have germline mutations in key telomere biology genes. Telomeres, tandem nucleotide repeats and a protein complex at chromosome ends, are essential in preserving genome integrity, shorten with each cell division, and thus are a marker of cellular replicative capa...
