The College of Agriculture, Biotechnology, and Natural Resources is pleased to announce the hiring of Robert O'Mara Ryan as new University of Nevada, Reno Chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

"After a national search, which generated a large number of highly qualified candidates for the chair position, Dr. Ryan emerged as the top candidate," Chris Pritsos, director of the Nevada Agricultural Experimental Station and one of the lead recruiters for CABNR, said. "His energy and expertise in the area of human health will be a strong influence on the department and will strengthen its expertise in the area of human health and disease."

Ryan comes to the University after serving 16 years as senior scientist at the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute. He has also spent the past 12 years as adjunct professor in the Department of Nutritional Science and Toxicology at the University of California, Berkeley.

"Dr. Ryan is a very strong teacher and researcher," David Shintani, CABNR associate dean for academic programs and associate professor, said. "Because of his diverse research background (ranging from insect to human biochemistry), he will understand and appreciate the current research emphases of the department and be able to lead targeted hires and address programmatic deficiencies."

After obtaining his bachelor's degree from the University of Nevada, Reno in 1977 he continued his education here, earning his doctorate in biochemistry in 1982. Ryan went on to become a professor and research assistant with the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Arizona from 1983 to 1988. He then accepted a position as an assistant professor, and eventually director, of the Department of Biochemistry and Lipid and Lipoprotein Research Group at the University of Alberta, Canada, from 1988 to 2000.

His other accomplishments include numerous scientific publications, honors and awards in areas such as biochemistry and lipoprotein research, and service work with committees in relation to his professional work and achievements.

The premed life is notoriously hard. Anecdotal tales about the difficulty of weed out classes like organic chemistry inextricably intertwine with research reports about significantly higher prevalence and severity of emotional exhaustion and depression in premed students compared to their non-premed counterparts.

I can discern this culture of intense pressure, severe burnout, and extreme fatigue as a premed student myself. Having said that, I have noticed that there is one very powerful force when it comes to fostering a wellness-based culture among premed students: mentorship from premed upperclassmen or current medical students.

Research illustrates the helpfulness of near-peer mentoring in medical schools, indicating improvements in communication skills, profession development, and even personal development for both mentees and mentors. One Swedish study found 81% of medical students in a 2-year mentorship program felt they received emotional support from their mentors, 91% felt they received perspective from their mentors, and 87% felt they received guidance.

Mentorship programs clearly help. Unfortunately, though, premed programs at undergraduate institution do not place the same emphasis on formal mentorship programs as medical schools. Thats why I asked a bunch of med students to tell me everything premeds ought to know.

One thing I highly recommend premeds to do in undergrad is to pursue interests outside of science and medicine, whether that be through extracurricular experiences or classes. The medical school curriculum is already chock full of a lot of biology/biochemistry/physics-heavy topics, which makes undergrad a great time to explore topics that are not explicitly covered during those four years. Its a great opportunity to learn more about the world and yourself, as well as develop into a more well-rounded individual who can capably function and interact both inside and outside of a medical context. Ultimately, we are all entering this profession for the betterment of humanity and being able to develop and preserve our own humanity is just as important.

The biggest difference between medical school and college is mainly the volume of work, not necessarily the difficulty of material. I found that I was much more successful once I figured out the best way to digest the material in chunks rather than getting overwhelmed by how much there was. Its helpful to set both daily and weekly goals for what you want to get done and also scheduling into your day normal life things like laundry, groceries, and cooking.

-Allie Mignucci, MS1 Albany Medical College

Everyone digests information differently so figure out what works best for you in terms of learning new material whether its listening to a lecture, reading a textbook, making an outline, or a little bit of everything. Medical school is fast paced so making sure you know how to study effectively and efficiently is key.

-Talitha Kumaresan, MS1 Albany Medical College

It doesnt necessarily have to be medically related but make sure you learn the basics of conducting scientific research (question, hypothesis, study design, analysis, presentation, etc.

-Talitha Kumaresan, MS1 Albany Medical College

I would also encourage students to take the time to learn more about different populations, whether they vary socioeconomically, culturally, racially, etc. Understanding the history of how disparities among different groups of people have developed over time into the present day can shed a great understanding about how we as future medical professionals can most effectively understand, empathize, and interface with patients of all different belief and value systems. At times, it can feel like medical school is a sort of bubble where we are shielded from what is going on in the world around us. However, it is important to always remember that the patient should be a medical professionals highest priority, and spending some time to learn more about these individuals and look at them as people with a story can go a long way in enriching the way in which we care for them.

-Julian Mak, MS1 Albany Medical College

The main thing I wish I knew as premed student working tirelessly to get into medical school is that your wellness, maturity, and individuality is equally as important as all of the accolades you can stack through academia. I realized going through medical school that all of my classmates are vastly different people with various experiences and that the key to us being such a cohesive class was our desire for work-life balance. Dont ever forget to be a person and enjoy time with friends and family. If it was between that extra hour studying for an exam that you have spent already too much time on versus catching up with friends over dinner or drinks, realize that the latter will keep you sane and personable. As for maturity and individuality, just realize that the student body that makes up any medical school is not often the 22-year-old superstar that was 4.0 and top of their class. Many of the students, including myself, are individuals who took time off to gain experience in life on top of strengthening our applications. I worked at Starbucks for half a year and I can tell you that I have talked to more physicians during my residency interviews about my time there compared to all of my research and medical experience combined. Not everyone needs to work a service job, but there a lessons learned in the workforce that are invaluable for every type of a job including that of a physician. Not everyone has the same track to get to medical school, but if you want it bad enough and are willing to be honest with yourself, no matter how many years you may need, you can get there.

-Mario Jaramillo, MS4 Albany Medical College

Med school can be confusing, so make sure you have some healthy self care habits. I try to take an hour a day for myself whether I exercise, read, cook or watch tv. Developing those habits and taking care of your mental health will keep you sane and happy in med school.

-Talitha Kumaresan, MS1 Albany Medical College

Take time to relax and have fun however way you do that with the time you have during undergrad. The workload in medical school definitely ramps up with the combination of classes, dissections, research, and other commitments. Burnout is already a huge problem in the medical profession, and that issue doesnt need to trickle down even further if we can manage it. Sometimes it may be tempting to look towards the next step (as I did with medical school in my senior year), but remember that the process of training to become a physician is a many years-long marathon, and the last thing you want to do in a marathon is to expend all your energy in the first portion of the race. Preserve and maintain your physical and mental health.

-Julian Mak, MS1 Albany Medical College

Dont be so focused on medical school that you forget to enjoy college and all the experiences you can have. Get involved as much as you can, make friends, enjoy your free time.

-Talitha Kumaresan, MS1 Albany Medical College

Youre a premed. Dont worry, thats not all you have to be. This is a tough field and its a tough journey to get into medical school. But that doesnt mean life needs to be on hold while you reach that next milestone in your career. While you make your way there, life will keep happening. Dont ask it to stop for you. Soon youll be in medical school and youll continue to make yourself empty promises of getting back to life before and after each of the many challenges that you will face throughout your career. So be premed, but dont let that stop you from being an artist, musician, dancer, or movie buff. Dont let it stop you from being a daughter, sister, or friend. Dont let it stop you from living life. Medicine is a part of your lifedont isolate it from the rest of what makes you you.

-Vinita Kusupati, MS4 Albany Medical College

In the difficulty of premed courses, its easy to question if this path is worth it or if the countless hours of studying organic chemistry will even matter when you actually take care of your patients. But in those moments, remind yourself of the future patients you are doing this for because they will give you the strength to persevere and keep going.

Med Students Get Real: Everything Premeds Need to Know - Thrive Global

Image: Chromosomes and their telomeres (visualised in red). Credit: Thomas Ried, NCI Center for Cancer Research

You might not have heard of telomeres but theyre incredibly important they are the caps that protect the end of chromosomes. They work like the plastic tips that stop your shoelaces from fraying.

All cancers alter telomeres in order to survive, so by doing basic research to try to understand how telomere replication and processing works, Max and his team hope to identify possible new ways to target and treat cancer.

Having joined the Division of Cancer Biology in October 2019, Dr Max Douglasis now one of the newest Team Leaders at the ICR. I met him at our Chester Beatty Laboratories in Chelsea, where he told me more about his work.

Max studied for his PhD in biochemistry and cell biology at the University of Cambridge. He then joined Dr John Diffleys team in Londons Clare Hall Laboratories which later became part of the Francis Crick Institute where he focused on studying the early stages of DNA replication.

At the Crick, he helped establish in detail how a protein complex called the CMG replicative helicase that helps unwind DNA during replication, is assembled and activated.

Now at the ICR, Max leads his own research team studying DNA replication but in the context of telomeres and cancer.

My main project is to rebuild telomeres in the lab and then unpick how they work how they are replicated and how they are processed. This knowledge is generally useful, but we will focus on studying it in the context of cancer, explained Max.

Lets finish it:help us revolutionise cancer treatment. We aim to discover a new generation of cancer treatments so smart and targeted, that more patients will defeat their cancer and finish what they started.

Support our work

When a cell becomes cancerous, it divides more often and every time it divides, its telomeres become shorter and shorter. Once there is no telomere left, the DNA unravels, like a shoelace fraying, and the cell dies. This eventually happens in most healthy cells telomeres shorten over time until cell division is no longer possible, leading to cell death.

While this loss of telomere protection can cause cancer cells and healthy cells to die, it can also lead to a state of genome instability that helps cancer survive and spread.

We also know that cancer cells can escape death by making telomerase, an enzyme that prevents telomeres from getting short. Certain cells in our body, such as stem cells, are able to divide over and over again thanks to telomerase. Cancer cells take advantage of this enzyme and hijack it to maintain telomere length which enables them to continue to divide and spread.

In other words, telomeres seem to play a role in the death of cancer cells but theyre also crucial for their survival. However, the molecular steps that guide telomere replication and processing remain poorly understood.

By using genetics and replicating cellular processes in a test tube, through a technique known as reconstitution biochemistry, Max and his team hope to better understand how telomeres are processed, and how they are inherited from one generation of cells to the next.

If Max and his team can dissect how telomeres work and clarify their link to cancer, maybe well figure out new ways to treat it.

His research might seem quite distant from the clinic, but Max knows he belongs at the ICR, which has an exemplary track record in making discoveries that ultimately benefit people with cancer.

I really value the ICRs commitment to doing basic, laboratory science. Good basic science is necessary to understand cancer, and the ICR values that. Here, I can figure out how to use my findings to benefit people, and that, in turn, will also hugely benefit my work, Max said.

I feel very lucky to work at an institution with a mission, being able to do what I love while getting opportunities to make discoveries that could help people.

As a new Team Leader, Max is currently the only member of his team but a higher scientific officer will be joining this month, as well as a post-doctoral training fellow, who will be joining in March. They will also start recruiting for a PhD student. As he told me, he cant wait for the new team members to join him in January.

Im excited to supervise other people for the first time. I want to build a strong team and a good environment for them to thrive in.

EUGENE, OR (KPTV) A research project at the University of Oregon could lead to a better cup of coffee.

Scientists researched why coffee made at home often tastes different from coffee bought at cafes and examined why coffee from the same place can taste different each visit.

To make espresso, hot water is forced through ground coffee. The barista is in charge of determining how much water and what size grinds to use. After taking a look at all different kinds of variations of amounts of water and fineness of grinds, scientists found that making a delicious, consistent cup of coffee requires less water and coarser grinds.

The research team included mathematicians, chemists, scientists, and baristas. They even used a Eugene caf to help test experiments.

Its not just about creating good flavor but also the bottom line for coffee companies. Researchers claim baristas could reduce their coffee waste by up to 25 percent per espresso shot. In the U.S. market alone, they estimate that more than a billion dollars could be saved.

Either people are going to try this reproducible protocol that we presented or they are not, but if theyre not, at least weve explained to them why there might be variation between two shots of espresso that are seemingly identical, Christopher Hendon with the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, said. We want to give the barista a road map to be able to present the flavors in the coffee that they want to present to the audience.

A lot of coffee lovers and caf owners are split on the study, with many people wondering who is deciding what tastes great. The next step, according to researchers, is to possibly figure out a way to use artificial intelligence or possibly a new kind of machine that will be impartial to tell them what tastes great.

Several months ago, I stood in the Emmanuel College basement waiting for my 3:15 pm appointment. I watched patiently for the doors of the Muslim chaplaincy office to open for my scheduled 45-minute counselling session, my second one this month. I had visited the chaplaincy before and I was pretty sure Ustadh Amjad Tarsin the Muslim Chaplain at the time was tired of seeing me and dealing with my tantrums.

However, as soon as the clock struck 15 minutes past the hour, Amjad familiar face, graced with the same bright smile as always, popped out from behind the door and called for me to come in.

I immediately felt safer than I had just minutes ago when I was standing alone with my thoughts.

My second year had been rough, just like it is for every other life sciences kid who takes HMB265 Human Biology and BCH210 Biochemistry at the same time. But, this year, the feeling of inadequacy was particularly inescapable. Circumstances in my personal life, coupled with the crippling pressure of surviving the academic year, were taking a toll on me like never before.

It felt like there was no foreseeable light at the end of my tunnel and, for the first time in my life, I began questioning the value of my very existence.

Gone were the days when my biggest worry was finding the right hijab to match my outfit for the day. Now, I found myself lying in bed every night thinking about what would happen if I didnt wake up the next morning. It was an emotional shift I wasnt ready to acknowledge and, in an effort to minimize the amount of space I was taking up, I began to shut myself out from the people that really cared about me. I was rapidly losing touch with my friends, family, and, most importantly, my faith.

My mental health also began impacting my involvement in the Muslim Students Association (MSA), which was and still is arguably the biggest part of my life besides academics. I have been an active member, volunteer, and director for the past year and a half, but my relationship with the community had become strained as I have moved further away from a place of mental and spiritual stability. I wasnt allowing myself to be vulnerable to anyone or anything, and that included my faith.

I contacted the Muslim chaplaincy as a last-ditch effort to pull myself out of the emotional black hole that was my life. I scheduled my first ever counselling session with Amjad, who I had only met once or twice before at a few MSA events.

I had no idea what I was getting myself into, and at one point I regretted not going to the Health & Wellness Centre just like everyone else. Little did I know that the chaplaincy would soon become integral to my mental health and religious life on campus.

After countless meetings with Amjad, which usually started with me in tears and ended with me leaving a little more hopeful every time, I began to see myself turn back into the person I was before. It sounds clich, but it felt like the sun had come out after months of endless rain even though it was mid-February and the sun was actually nowhere to be seen.

Amjad and the chaplaincy had done for me what I could never have expected a regular counsellor to do, and that was taking into account my faith and religious background as factors that were conducive to my mental and spiritual health. For the first time, I felt like I was being heard and presented with solutions that I could actually use to take care of myself.

My mental health has always been deeply rooted in my faith and sense of community. I experienced some of my biggest downfalls in life when my faith was weak or when I had lost touch with those around me.

I am lucky that I get to serve my community through the work I do in the MSA, but in reality, the MSA has done a lot more for me than I have done for it.

I came across the Muslim chaplaincy through the MSA and had the opportunity to meet people like our past chaplain, Amjad, and our current chaplain, Imam Yasin Dwyer, who have both changed my life for the better.

It is essential for organizations like these to receive adequate support from the university and its constituents in order to provide their much-needed on-campus services and programming.

The MSA and Muslim chaplaincy continue to play a huge role in my life, and I am sure I speak for many when I say that they both strive to provide a safe space for students who are trying to navigate their faith and mental health in this large, secular, and often overwhelming campus.

Muntaka Ahmed is a third-year Health and Disease and Immunology student at St. Michaels College. Muntaka is the Vice-President, Finance of the Muslim Students Association.

College hallways abound with rumors on the blood, sweat, and tears that accompany biochemistry. Mechanisms, pathways, enzymes Anxiety crept upon me after I signed up for the class and anticipated syllabus day until I stood up, determined, that I willsucceed biochemistry! I understand the heavy workload, tediousness, and specificity of the material, so I would like to share a handful tips on how I aced the class!

When we hear judgments, we could feasibly become influenced by their opinions and prejudge our experiences before we even set foot. I eventually decided to block out peoples opinions on the class, and focus on making the course my own experience. It is crucial to realize other peoples experiences do not determine yours. Further, avoid assuming the nature of the class. It may be boring, and on top of that, nearly impossible! I just hate memorizing pathways! Your attitude affects your performance. Perhaps, approach with a more open viewpoint of the class: It might be challenging, but Im open to learning about the underlying machinery of the human body. If you already find biochemistry intriguing, you are ahead of step one!

Some professors provide students with lecture notes online to print, as others do not. If your professor does not, recording the lecture could help tremendously to go back and listen to what you may have missed or to gain a more solid understanding. If the professor does provide online lecture notes, make sure to print them or download them onto your computer. I read over the lecture notes the same day of the class and quizzed myself over simple questions on the material on the notes. (Keep in mind: biochemistry includes application, critical thinking, and memorization, so your exam most likely may ask questions on a deeper level, but understanding the basics of the lecture is the point of quizzing yourself over the lecture notes). I divided the notes into sections and turned the stated lecture notes into questions to ask and quiz myself over. With this step, you will be familiar with what was covered in class.

A helpful way to perform on exams is to ask the professor if the lecture notes or textbook serve more as a basis for the exams. I studied lecture notes and read the textbook, regardless of when my professor stated the lecture notes were sufficient for the tests (reading the textbook chapters helped tremendously with the exams!) Not everybody prefers to read textbooks, or even needs the textbook for high performance, so this step depends on personal preference. As the material can be overwhelming, I divided my reading into paragraphs. I would read one paragraph once, read it again and highlight, then write my notes in my own words. Be sure to take breaks too!

You cannot go wrong with getting to know your professor! They could introduce you to resources that can help you, take time to elaborate concepts, and overall, help you along your academic journey. If you do not understand material, be sure to make time to visit your professors office hours with a list of things to ask. Emailing is a great option as well (if your professor checks it!); however, face-to-face interaction facilitates the ability to ask questions.

I am such a visual learner! It can be hard for me to visualize the chymotrypsin mechanism or the way translation works. Looking up these mechanisms on YouTube eased understanding of these concepts because I obtained a visual grasp on how they work.

My professor provided us with practice exams for the class; however, if your professor does not, worry not! I sometimes chose not to go with the exams the professor offered and googled biochemistry practice exams for a particular set of topics. It obviously will most likely not resemble your exams difficulty, application style, etc., but it will help train you to apply your knowledge, rather than soak up everything you have learned without using it. Be sure to practice those math problems too!

I have disappointed myself a few times throughout the class, and overall, my college experience. It happens! We are human. Breathe. What matters is your attitude, which drives the recovery. If you did not get the grade you expected, contact the professor, let him/her aware of your concern and what you can do to perform better next time, go over the exam, go over practice problems, etc. At the end of the day, you are taking a challenging class and are willing to succeed! Give yourself credit for the amazing effort you are putting in! Believe in yourself!

In late February 2019, the National Science Foundation, or NSF, gathered a group of scientists from widely different disciplines who rarely communicate let alone collaborate into one room, provided skilled facilitators to push their ideas to the edge of innovation, then stepped back to see what would happen.

Ideas Labs like these undergird the NSFs $36 million dollar investment in its Understanding the Rules of Life portfolio. Its aim is to accelerate development in two key areas of science and engineering research: building a synthetic cell and epigenetics.

Cheryl Kerfeld, MSU Hannah Distinguished Professor in the MSU-DOE Plant Research Laboratory and Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology attended this particular Ideas Lab outside of Washington, D.C. She explained that what happened was akin to the wheel people getting together with the suitcase people a breakthrough.

Kerfeld will lead this unlikely team of scientists that includes five research groups from universities across the nation in a $3.4 million Rules of Life grant to engineer a synthetic cell.

Kerfelds Rules of Life team members are: Christine Keating, professor of chemistry from Penn State University; Millie Sullivan, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering from the University of Delaware; Vincent Noireaux, professor of physics from the University of Minnesota; Giovanna Ghirlanda, professor of chemistry from Arizona State University; and Barbara Harthorn, professor of anthropology from the University of California Santa Barbara.

We are going to take building blocks from different scientific disciplines that would never naturally get together physics, biology and materials chemistry to build a functional, multi-compartmental and fat-free cell, or ProteoCell, Kerfeld said. Outside of the Ideas Lab context, we never would have self-assembled into a team, and it never would have occurred to me to build a cell without lipids.

Although the first and fundamental goal of the project is to make a synthetic cell without lipids, the project also has significant implications in the production of biomaterials and biofuels in the United States.

There are important and introspective questions that need to be asked as we develop new technologies, Kerfeld said. A cell without lipids is highly artificial, and if we are successful, it may lead to a self-propagating system that could be harnessed for industrial applications.

There are ethics around this as well as the fundamental questions that we are asking, like what is life?

With NSFs encouragement and support, the team will also study the societal perceptions of a synthetic cell as well as how engineering a new kind of cell might also change the scientists.

The NSFs Rules of Life is one of the grand challenges of biology, Kerfeld noted, and MSU should be proud that we are leading an elite group of high caliber researchers and faculty able to address these questions.

May 31, 2017 by Amy Blanchett Astronaut Scott Kelly opens a bag of assorted fruit (oranges, lemons, grapefruits) in the Node 2 module after being unpacked from the Kounotori H-II Transfer Vehicle 5 (HTV-5). Astronauts are pleased to discover fresh fruit and vegetables in cargo shipments to the International Space Station because sometimes due to delivery schedules, weight factors and accessibility of refrigeration on the station these type of foods are not always readily available. It is important for astronauts to consume vitamins and minerals in space to maintain their health. Credit: NASA

Healthy Vision Month, NASA's One-Year Mission investigators are peering into their new findings to help address astronaut vision issues. While the One-Year Mission has concluded for retired astronaut Scott Kelly, NASA's Human Research Program is focusing on comparing previous six-month mission findings to One-Year Mission preliminary findings.

Nutritional Biochemistry Lab lead Scott M. Smith, Ph.D., takes a broad look at biochemistry. He studies the astronaut diets along with protein, vitamin, mineral, and other chemicals in blood and urine to look for indicators of disease or other physiological changes. His team discovered that astronauts with vision issues had biochemical differences before ever leaving Earth as compared to astronauts without vision issues, and subsequently documented that this was evidence of a genetic predisposition for some astronauts to develop vision and eye issues. He thinks his team is on the path to help resolve vision issues for astronauts. This is an important finding as NASA prepares for a human journey to Mars.

Typically, physiologists and scientists study one system at a time, but nutrition is a cross-cutting science with impacts across systems biology. Smith emphasizes the importance of studying the human body holistically, which is why his team has led the effort to create a biochemical database making it more efficient to interface with other researchers, such as the 22 other One-Year Mission investigators.

Another investigator who works with Smith at NASA's Johnson Space Center is Michael Stenger, Ph.D. He is the Cardiovascular and Vision Lab lead and principal investigator for the Fluid Shifts investigation, which is an international experiment designed to determine the relationship between headward fluid shifts and ocular structural changes. Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome, or SANS, is hypothesized to be caused by blood flow toward the head due to lack of gravity, resulting in changes to eye structure and possibly vision changes. This headward fluid shift may be responsible for vision changes, flattening of the eyeball and swelling of some tissues in the back of the eye and engorgement of the optic nerve sheath seen in approximately one out of three International Space Station astronauts.

The One-Year Mission was a great opportunity to see if vision changes occurring during six-month missions continued and worsened when the mission is extended to a year. Stenger could also see if astronauts who did not have vision issues at the six-month mark, developed them when extended to one year in space. The preliminary findings are a bit of both. One subject developed SANS early in the mission and had some symptoms worsen as the mission lengthened while another did not. The subject who did not experience SANS symptoms during the first six months of flight did start to show some changes near the end of his year in space, suggesting that length of time in space may impact the eye.

Both Smith and Stenger are working together to solve eye and vision problems for astronauts. They agree their investigations are just scratching the surface and there is a lot of work that still needs to be done on the ground and in space to validate theories. While Scott Kelly returned to Earth in a healthy state, NASA continues to keep its vision focused on sending humans safely and effectively on a three-year journey to Mars.

Peek into your genes: NASA one-year mission investigators identify links to vision problems - Phys.Org

This is a live image of the liver of a translucent, larval zebrafish. It was taken using confocal microscopy, which allows for clear images of the internal organs of a whole live animal. Quinlivan fed a fluorescently tagged fatty acid to a larval zebrafish and then photographed its liver at 400x magnification. The round dots of varying sizes are lipid droplets, which contain a kind of fat called triglyceride. These triglycerides were constructed using the fluorescent fat consumed by the larval zebrafish. Fluorescence also shows up in the gallbladder (GB) and developing kidney (K). Credit: Vanessa Quinlivan

Studying how our bodies metabolize lipids such as fatty acids, triglycerides, and cholesterol can teach us about cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other health problems, as well as reveal basic cellular functions. But the process of studying what happens to lipids after being consumed has been both technologically difficult and expensive to accomplish until now.

New work from Carnegies Steven Farber and his graduate student Vanessa Quinlivan debuts a method using fluorescent tagging to visualize and help measure lipids in real time as they are metabolized by living fish. Their work is published by the Journal of Lipid Research.

Lipids play a vital role in cellular function, because they form the membranes that surround each cell and many of the structures inside of it, Quinlivan said. They are also part of the crucial makeup of hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, which transmit messages between cells.

Unlike proteins, the recipes for different lipid-containing molecules are not precisely encoded by DNA sequences. A cell may receive a genetic signal to build a lipid for a certain cellular purpose, but the exact type may not be indicated with a high degree of specificity.

Instead, lipid molecules are built from an array of building blocks whose combinations can change depending on the type of food we eat. However, lipid compositions vary between cells and cellular structures within the same organism, so diet isnt the only factor determining which lipids are manufactured.

Understanding the balancing act in what makes up our bodies lipidsbetween availability based on what were eating and genetic guidanceis very important to cell biologists, Farber explained. There is growing evidence that these differences can affect wide arrays of cellular processes.

For example, omega-3 fatty acids, which are lipid building blocks found in foods like salmon and walnuts, are known to be especially good for heart and liver health. There is evidence that when people eat omega-3 fatty acids, the cellular membranes into which they are incorporated are less likely to overreact to signals from the immune system than membranes comprised of other kinds of lipids. This has an anti-inflammatory effect that could prevent heart or liver disease.

Farber and Quinlivans method allowed them to delve into these kinds of connections. They were able to tag different kinds of lipids, feed them to live zebrafish, and then watch what the fish did with them.

If we fed the fish a specific type of fat, our technique allowed us to determine into what molecules these lipids were reassembled after they were broken down in the small intestine and in which organs and cells these molecules ended up, Farber explained.

The tags they used were fluorescent. So Farber and Quinlivan and their team were actually able to see the fats that they fed their zebrafish glowing under the microscope as they were broken down and reassembled into new molecules in different organs. Further experiments allowed them to learn into what types of molecules the broken down fat components were incorporated.

Being able to do microscopy and biochemistry in the same experiment made it easier to understand the biological meaning of our results, Quinlivan said. We hope our method will allow us to make further breakthroughs in lipid biochemistry going forward.

The other members of the team were Carnegies Meredith Wilson, and Josef Ruzicka of Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Track 4:Cell Signaling

Cell signalingis part of a complex system of communication that governs basic cellular activities and coordinates cell actions. The ability of cells to perceive and correctly respond to their microenvironment is the basis of development, tissue repair, and immunity as well as normal tissue homeostasis. Errors in cellular information processing are responsible for diseases such as cancer, autoimmunity, and diabetes. By understanding cell signaling, diseases may be treated effectively and, theoretically, artificial tissues may be created. The principle ofcell signalingis hinged on the fact that cellular communication frequently involves converting signals that carry information from one form to another. During cell communication, the signaling cell releases a particular signaling molecule that is then detected by the target cell. Most animal cells send and receive signals and as such act as both signaling and target cells. Animal cells can communicate through direct contact or by secreting local regulators such as growth factors or neurotransmitters.

Excerpt from:
Biochemistry 2017 | Dubai | UAE | Worldwide Events | Asia ...

Two bills have recently been introduced in the Wisconsin Legislature to provide a path forward for biomedical research that honors the dignity of the human beings that it is meant to serve. These are the Fetal Remains Respect Act and the Unborn Child Disposition and Anatomical Gift Act, part of the Heal Without Harm Legislative Initiative. Contrary to what some claim, these bills do not stifle research. As scientists, we wholeheartedly support this initiative to support and advocate for biomedical research that benefits all human persons, without sacrificing one for another.

These bills come on the heels of a yearlong investigation of the abortion industry by the U.S. House Select Investigative Panel. The final report corrects many false and misleading statements regarding the role of fetal tissue in science and medicine. In nearly 100 years of unrestricted research, the panel investigation confirms, not a single clinical treatment has been developed from human fetal tissue. Vaccines for polio, measles, and mumps were never produced using human fetal tissue but rather used monkey cells, chicken eggs, and nonfetal human cells. None of the 75 vaccines available in the U.S. is produced using fresh fetal tissue. The continued use of certain cell lines derived from aborted fetal tissue to produce a small portion of vaccines (less than 15 percent) is due more to the high cost of switching than to any scientific reason. In regard to development of new vaccines, greater than 98 percent of research articles published on Zika do not use fetal tissue. Conversely, adult blood cells recently led to a breakthrough in vaccine development for Cytomegalovirus (CMV), a virus affecting brain development in a way similar to Zika.

The panel investigation further discredits the claim that fetal tissue plays an indispensable role in life-saving research. Fetal tissues (or byproduct stem cells) are used in only 0.01 percent of clinical trials currently underway and in merely 0.2 percent of grants funded by NIH between 2010-2014 none of which is investigating Alzheimers disease, where many claim fetal tissue is required and the gold standard. In many cases, aborted fetuses are not the most appropriate tissue source, but these tissues are still used because they are cheaper and easier to obtain than adult tissues. These facts suggest that, in practice, even scientists are not convinced that fetal tissue is critical to research.

In stark contrast, people suffering with cancer, diabetes, heart disease, neurological diseases, and others are benefiting now from clinical trials and treatments using adult stem cell therapies. Adult stem cells have saved the lives of over 1 million people worldwide, but not one person is alive today because of stem cells from aborted fetal tissue.

Therefore, as a next step, the panel provides several recommendations to ensure the advancement of research that is superior both scientifically and ethically, followed by a call for increased federal investment in these areas. Wisconsin risks losing time, money and lives if an ethical approach to research is not advocated and supported. It is within Wisconsins best interest to pass these bills. Science and ethics do work together.

The monthly Oxford Science Cafe will return with a lecture on the chemical properties and history of making dairy products. The free event will take place from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. tonightat the Lusa Bakery Bistro and Bar.

The forum is the latest Science Cafe organized by associate professor Marco Cavaglia of the University of Mississippi Department of Physics and Astronomy. This months lecture, entitled Chemistry of Milk, will be presented by professor of chemistry and biochemistry Susan Pedigo and senior biochemistry major Lemuel Tsang.

Pedigo earned her doctorate degree in biochemistry from the University of Iowa and worked as a postdoctoral scientist at Vanderbilt University before she began working at the University of Mississippi. This will be her first lecture at a Science Cafe event.

The planning is that I will do the background on proteins and fats and milk in general how its made, and that kind of stuffand secreted and its chemical components. And Lemuel [Tsang] is going to do the applied part of it, she said.

Pedigo has known Tsang the majority of his four years at the university and Tsangis currently taking Pedigosclass on the chemistry of French food. She saidhe has an interest in starches and other chemistry relating to food. Their reading on how chemistry is used to give foods taste and texture led to them choosing milk as a topic, over other food-related items such as eggs and flour.

They share the sentiment in hoping this lecture encourages people to think about an everyday object such as milk, to see it in a new perspective and think more about its molecular composition.

We are chemistry. As a biochemist, you think of life as a series of chemical processes milk is just part of that, Pedigo said. I think that thats whats so fun about biochemistry, is that a lot of our chemistry, really, is that. What you take for granted, becomes what you discuss, and so it makes you look at your world and think of your world in a different way.

Pedigo said Tsangsenergy and curiosity about the topic arethe primary reasons she enjoysworking with him. She also said she considers partnering with students for presentations such as this to be an important part of working and teaching as a professor.

The Oxford Science Cafes purpose is to have conversations about the science we know and the science we dont know, according to its website.Pedigo likes that these events allow for questions to be asked and for scientific views to be accessed by others.

University of Otago researchers have made a ''significant step'' forward in understanding a key factor in Parkinson's disease, gastric cancer and melanoma.

Peter Mace, of the Otago biochemistry department, led the research, working with Australian scientists. The study's first two authors are Johannes Weijman and Dr Abhishek Kumar, of the department.

Dr Mace is ''very excited'' about the outcome of this ''fundamental biochemistry of cells'', which sheds new light on several disease processes.

The Otago-led study of a protein called apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) has just been published in PNAS.

Apoptosis is programmed cell death, which protects the rest of the body if damage to an individual cell is too great.

ASK1 and other kinases act as signalling proteins that control many aspects of cellular behaviour. Kinases put tags on to other proteins that can turn them on or off, which in turn can make a cell respond in many ways, including by dividing, dying or moving.

ASK1 also helps control how a cell responds to damage, including by pushing it towards apoptosis.

The research team determined ASK1's previously ''very little known'' molecular structure through using the Melbourne-based Australian synchrotron.

Researchers had learned a lot more about how the protein was turned on and off, which was ''important'', because in diseases such as Parkinson's, stomach cancer and melanoma there could be either ''too much of, or too little ASK1 activity''.

Kinases were ''excellent targets'' for developing new drugs because they had a ''pocket'' in their structure that such compounds could bind to.

But to develop better drugs, far more knowledge was needed, he said.
