Our Mission

Established in 2013, the Oklahoma Clinical and Translational Science Institute serves as a catalyst for clinical and translational research that improves health and healthcare for underserved and underrepresented populations, to provide training and infrastructure to help junior investigators to launch independent research careers, and to expand the opportunities of IDeA states and Oklahoma communities to participate in research that improves the health of our residents. 

Oklahoma Shared Clinical and Translational Resources

OSCTR is Oklahoma's NIH-funded IDeA-CTR that provides resources, information, and training to help individuals or communities involved in performing clinical and translational research in the state

Oklahoma Primary Healthcare Improvement Cooperative

RIG-I agonist SLR10 promotes macrophage M1 polarization during influenza virus infection

Front Immunol. 2023 Jul 5;14:1177624. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1177624. eCollection 2023.

ABSTRACT

RATIONALE: A family of short synthetic, triphosphorylated stem-loop RNAs (SLRs) have been designed to activate the retinoic-acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) pathway and induce a potent interferon (IFN) response, which may have therapeutic potential. We investigated immune response modulation by SLR10. We addressed whether RIG-I pathway activation with SLR10 leads to protection of nonsmoking (NS) and cigarette smoke (CS)-exposed mice after influenza A virus (IAV) infection.

Mortality risk factors in primary Sjögren syndrome: a real-world, retrospective, cohort study

EClinicalMedicine. 2023 Jul 4;61:102062. doi: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2023.102062. eCollection 2023 Jul.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: What baseline predictors would be involved in mortality in people with primary Sjögren syndrome (SjS) remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the baseline characteristics collected at the time of diagnosis of SjS associated with mortality and to identify mortality risk factors for all-cause death and deaths related to systemic SjS activity measured by the ESSDAI score.
