Implications of Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms on the Orchestration of the Immune Response: Lessons Learned from Oral Diseases
Here we will discuss the importance of studies of gene polymorphism towards the identification of susceptible groups or prognostic indicators of oral disease.

Usability of Robotic Platforms for Remote Surgical Teleproctoring
Three proctoring platforms for remote surgery were evaluated to determine which would be most appropriate. The systems were a 6-degree-of-freedom (DOF) device, a computer mouse controlling a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera, and a computer pen/tablet controlling the PTZ.

Accelerating Botulism Therapeutic Product Development in the Department of Defense
To mitigate the challenges of small-molecule drug discovery research efforts for the treatment of botulism, we propose product development tools to assist in management of the BoNT portfolio and to clearly define the desired therapeutic product.

Tools for Planning and Coordinating Development of Medical Countermeasures in the Public Sector
We have developed a set of software tools and methods for using them that could support the desired coordination and that could also provide for more rapid, comprehensive, and shared identification of key enabling technologies for accomplishing the development of effective medical countermeasures in time to counter or prevent a biothreat.

Near-Infrared Fluorescent Labeling of Tissue Transglutaminase Substrates for Wound Healing Monitoring
A novel imaging strategy is developed to optically monitor the wound healing process by crosslinking near-infrared fluorescent-labeled tissue transglutaminase substrates into the wound.

On the Charging of Mesospheric Dust
We consider the charging of dust grains, taking into account charging by thermal plasma and possible high energy particles, for a range of grain sizes. We also consider the effect of an enhanced dust surface area if the grains are irregularly structured.
