Watching Life Develop From a Single Cell (2:30)
Researchers at Yale University, in collaboration with the NIH and Sloan-Kettering recently developed a new, very powerful imaging technology that allows them to visualize with single cell resolution the development of an organism in its entirety. This technology is 30 times faster than the fastest microscopes that are conventionally used in the field.

Cato Laurencin (17:36)
Dr. Cato Laurencin says that to meet the grand challenges in medicine, we need three things: "bold ideas; bold, smart people; and organizations that believe in us and in funding ideas that are bold." Describing tissue engineering as one of the bold ideas of the 1980s, he says his group is now trying to think in terms of "regenerative engineering," which he describes as "the integration of tissue engineering with advances in material science, stem cells sciences and developmental biology." Laurencin credits the NIAMS with providing ongoing financial support for such engineering, with widening the field, and for having the courage to believe in bold ideas.

November 21, 2011

Helen Lu (17:27)
Dr. Helen Lu describes the challenge facing the tissue engineer today with an analogy: "How do you connect a rope to a wall without any fixation pins or screws?" Surgeons today use mechanical fixation devices, she explains, but for tissue engineers like herself, Lu says the hope is that in the near future, they can better mimic how ligaments and tendons are naturally connected to the bone. She says her long-term goal, and the goal of others in her field, is to eventually be capable of engineering total joint systems. Lu also talks about the value of having researchers interact with clinicians and the role of mentorship in science, saying, "We stand on the shoulders of giants." She thanks her mentors, including Dr. Cato Laurencin, and her students, as well as her collaborators at the NIAMS intramural research program and at private institutions.

Key Enzyme Gene Variations Linked to Prostate Cancer (6:26)
Recently, researchers at the National Institutes of Health reported that variations in a gene for an enzyme involved in cell energy metabolism appear to increase the risk for prostate cancer. The genetic variations all impair the enzyme phosphodiesterase 11A (PDE11A), which helps regulate a cell's responses to hormones and other signals. Previous studies by this group have linked genetic variations that inactivate PDE11A with increased susceptibility to testicular cancer and adrenal tumors. In a new Web video, the study's senior author, Constantine Stratakis, M.D., D.Sc., acting director of the Intramural Research program at the NICHD, discusses the study's findings

Malaria Tutorial—i on NIH—episode #0011, segment 3 (8:43)
For a while, NLM has been interested in consumers - end users - how they get their information. If they use it, do they use it to really make behavior change and have better health as a result? So the thought was, since we do a lot of outreach work in Africa, why don't we make a tutorial that would work there? But rather they make something here for Africa, the idea was to make something in Africa collaborating with folks there. So, we worked with the medical school at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda, and also Ugandan artists who were in Kampala, and made a version of a Medline Plus tutorial about malaria, which is quite different from the Medline Plus malaria tutorial that you see on the web site that's geared for American audiences going abroad, about how not to catch malaria and how to treat it.
