Bethesda, MD - Ann Louise Olson and Chris Newgard are pleased to be co-chairing the next Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) conference on "Glucose Transport: Gateway to Metabolic Systems Biology" to be held in Big Sky, Montana from July 26-July 30, 2015. This is one of the longest-running FASEB Science Research Conferences in the history of the FASEB series, originally launched in the early 1990s in recognition of the cloning and characterization of a subset of the major glucose transporter isoforms. Over the ensuing years, the meeting has continued to feature important advances in glucose transporter biology, but has also evolved to embrace emergent topics in metabolic control mechanisms as they relate to chronic diseases and conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The meeting has consistently attracted major leaders in these fields, but also with representation of emergent young scientists. This year's program, as seen in the accompanying attachment, is no exception. Recent progress in this area of research has been explosive, and we believe that this meeting will be particularly timely in helping to fully appreciate the significance of recent developments. This year's conference will provide a lively mix of glucose transporter biology, metabolic … Continue reading →

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise Four names were in the author spot of a Texas Tech University study presented at a biology conference in Sacramento in August. Senior biology student Tailor Browns name was at the top; she did most of the field research, which examined how oak tree resprouts respond to drought conditions. Joshua Willms, who is now a joint MD/Ph.D. student at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, is second; he helped coordinate all the research. Associate biology professor Dylan Schwilk, whose name is fourth, guided the undergraduate researchers. Christopher Rodriguez is third. The project was his brainchild. He learned how to use the equipment and wrote a research proposal. He told his friends about this exciting new research hed started, and he made plants and droughts sound exciting. Just a few months into the research, on Oct. 3, 2012, he suffered life-threatening injuries in a motorcycle accident. He died three days later. After Rodriguezs death, a few of his friends approached Schwilk and said theyd like to continue Rodriguezs research. It would be their friends legacy. Schwilk allowed himself to be persuaded. Its not a story of the work almost being done and … Continue reading →

The 2011 Fukushima disaster was a stark reminder of the continuing dangers posed by nuclear fallout, highlighting the need for an approved drug that can be taken after radiation exposure to protect against organ injury and death. A study published by Cell Press on January 22nd in Chemistry & Biology identifies a drug candidate called DBIBB that increases the survival of mice suffering from radiation syndrome, even when treatment started three days after radiation exposure. The findings suggest that DBIBB shows promise for becoming the first drug capable of treating acute radiation syndrome caused by the high levels of radiation released by nuclear explosions. "The 21st Century has presented humankind with unforeseen challenges, including the possibility of radiation terrorism," said senior study author Gbor Tigyi, a professor of physiology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC). "We hope that the scientific community and our efforts will provide protection through medical countermeasures against the harmful effects of ionizing radiation and also help humans to benefit from the useful effects of nuclear technology." Nuclear explosions can expose humans to high levels of ionizing radiation, which can cause cell death and organ injury due to DNA damage. Although some agents tested … Continue reading →
