During NIDCR’s 75th anniversary, a recurring theme at talks and seminars can be summarized in the immortal words of William Shakespeare: “What’s past is prologue.” The stage is set for a golden age of discovery in oral and craniofacial research. An unprecedented convergence of science and technology advances will translate these discoveries into greater diagnostic precision, enabling clinicians and scientists to pinpoint the underlying biology driving the diseases of the dental, oral, and craniofacial complex.

• This time-lapse video shows cancer cells can sprout long appendages to force their way into healthy tissue.
• This research offers a new lead in determining whether a cancer is starting to spread in a patient thought to be in remission.
