UCI stem cell scientist wins coveted NIH New Innovator Award

Posted: Published on October 7th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 6-Oct-2014 Contact: Tom Vasich tmvasich@uci.edu 949-824-6455 University of California - Irvine @UCIrvine Irvine, Calif., Oct. 6, 2014 UC Irvine scientist Weian Zhao will receive a prestigious National Institutes of Health Director's New Innovator Award to further his efforts to create stem cell-based detection methods and treatments for cancer. It's part of the highly selective High Risk-High Reward Research Award Program and supports projects by early-career biomedical researchers with the potential to transform scientific fields and accelerate the translation of research into new ways to improve human health. Zhao, an assistant professor of pharmaceutical sciences, will get $1.5 million over five years. He's among 50 investigators selected for the 2014 award. His project is to engineer smart stem cell systems to effectively detect and treat the spread of cancer in the body. Cancer metastases are responsible for more than 90 percent of cancer deaths; however, few current therapies directly target metastatic cancer. Zhao's goal is to have stem cell messengers selectively migrate to cancer sites to deliver tumor-fighting drugs or probes for contrast-enhanced medical imaging. This could, potentially, enable the identification of cancer micro-metastases at their early stages and increase the effectiveness of chemotherapeutic treatments for metastatic cancer … Continue reading →

High-sugar diet no problem for genetic mutants

Posted: Published on October 7th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 6-Oct-2014 Contact: Robert Perkins perkinsr@usc.edu 213-740-9226 University of Southern California @USC Imagine being able to take a pill that lets you eat all of the ice cream, cookies, and cakes that you wanted without gaining any weight. New research from USC suggests that dream may not be impossible. A team of scientists led by Sean Curran of the USC Davis School of Gerontology and the Keck School of Medicine of USC found a new way to suppress the obesity that accompanies a high-sugar diet, pinning it down to a key gene that pharmaceutical companies have already developed drugs to target. So far, Curran's work has been solely on the worm Caenorhabditis elegans and human cells in a petri dish but the genetic pathway he studied is found in almost all animals from yeast to humans. Next, he plans to test his findings in mice. Curran's research is outlined in a study that will be published on Oct. 6 by Nature Communications. Building on previous work with C. elegans, Curran and his colleagues found that certain genetic mutants those with a hyperactive SKN-1 gene could be fed incredibly high-sugar diets without gaining any weight, while regular C. elegans … Continue reading →
