Tiny Cellular Antennae Key to Fat Formation in Muscle
UCSF - Latest News Feed
Like it or not, as we age, our muscle cells are slowly exchanged, one by one, for fat cells. This process quickens when we injure a muscle, and an extreme form of this process is also seen in muscle-wasting diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Now, scientists at UC San Francisco have shown that cellular antennae called cilia, found on fat-forming cells interspersed in muscle, play a key role in this muscle-to-fat transformation.
The findings, revealed in experiments with mice, and published July 13, 2017 in Cell, suggest a previously unsuspected connection between cilia and tissue renewal. This fresh molecular understanding could open up new prospects for regenerative medicine, and one day enable researchers to improve muscle renewal during aging and disease.
High levels of intramuscular fat have long been associated with a loss of strength and impaired mobility, as well as more falls in elderly or obese individuals, and in patients with DMD. “The frailty of age is a huge biomedical problem,” said Jeremy Reiter, MD, PhD, a professor of biochemistry and biophysics at UCSF and senior author of the new paper. “This study helps pave the way to learn how muscles normally age, and provides a new way to possibly improve muscle repair.”
Reiter has a long-standing research interest in tiny cellular appendages called primary cilia, which look a bit like the cellular tentacles that paramecia and other single-celled critters use to move and gather food. But unlike those motile cilia, primary cilia don’t move at all. Instead, they stand stiff and solitary on the surface of nearly all of our cells, including neurons, skin cells, bone cells and certain stem cells.
For centuries, these little attachments were largely ignored, and considered a vestigial structure with no known function. But “there has been a renaissance over the past decade in figuring out what these cilia do,” Reiter said, ...

Op-ed: Should We Limit Spending on Lifesaving Drugs?
Health – UConn Today
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” is a familiar quote from the opening of Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities,” but the phrase is also applicable to the specialty drug market in the United States today.
Specialty drugs, usually complex biologic products created by genetic alterations of living tissues or organisms, have revolutionized patient care by creating human proteins, enzymes, and antibodies that can treat diseases much more specifically than previously. These breakthroughs have come through a collective national choice to let drugmakers set prices and reap the profits with limited oversight – as opposed to many other countries with strict controls.
However, this choice has come at a steep price: Health care costs are soaring at an unsustainable pace, putting the finances of states, the federal government, companies, and millions of Americans at risk.
Every American – especially our lawmakers preparing to remold our health care system for the second time in eight years – needs to understand the choice we have made and grapple with where to go from here. In the end, it comes down to one difficult question: What value should we place on a human life?
Drug costs are crippling us financially
Between premiums, deductibles, and co-pays, a typical family of four will directly pay U.S. $11,000 of the estimated $27,000 it is expected to spend on health care in 2017, up 22 percent since 2013. That’s quite a lot, especially considering the average American worker made only $46,120 in 2015.
But it will be impossible to control these spiraling costs without getting a handle on prescription drug spending, which is growing at a rate at least three times faster than every other major medical category.
What many people don’t know is that spending on traditional drugs such as statins, acid controllers, and antibiotics hasn’t changed much. It’s specialty and biologic drugs that ...

FIU's Gabrielle Rains Sets Record While Taking Canadian U20 Title
FIU Athletics
MIAMI (July 12, 2017) – It may be the summer time for the traditional college student, but there is no offseason for FIU track and field standout Gabrielle Rains when it comes to perfecting her craft in the discus. Rains, a rising sophomore for the Panthers, shows no signs of slowing down following a record-setting freshman campaign. On July 6, the Sherwood Park, Alberta, native won the Canadian U20 Track and Field Championship discus title at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility in Ottawa, Ontario. Rains set a new championships U20 record with her toss of 51.60m en route to the gold medal.Click here to read a piece on Rains and her Olympic aspirations in the Ottawa Citizen.
Rains will now compete on the international stage as she travels to Trujillo, Peru for the Pan-Am U20 Track and Field Championships, July 21-23, as one of 54 athletes that will represent Canada.
Before returning to Miami, Rains will take part in the 2017 Canada Summer Games at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, August 3-4.
During her freshman season at FIU Rains enjoyed a banner season. She took second-place at the Conference USA Championships in El Paso, Texas, with a throw of 50.95m, and advanced to the NCAA Division I East Region Prelims in Lexington, Kentucky, where her throw of 49.45m was 25th.
It was, however, her first collegiate meet at the University of Miami that set the standard for Rains for the remainder of the season. During the Hurricane Invitational on March 18, Rains let loose on a throw of 53.10m which set a new school record and held up all season as the second-best throw in C-USA and the 42nd best in the nation. Also, Rains' 53.10m is the 17th-best U20 throw in the world this year and broke a 31-year-old Canadian record.Fans are encouraged to follow the team on Facebook (Facebook.com/FIUTrackXC) for ...

Brandon BerrioAssistant Communications Director
BATON ROUGE – LSU junior center Will Clapp has been named to the Outland Trophy Watch List, while junior linebacker Arden Key and junior cornerback Kevin Toliver II have been named to the Bronko Nagurski Watch List, The Maxwell Football Club announced Thursday.
The Outland Trophy, in its 72nd year, is awarded to the top interior lineman in the nation. Clapp, who is expected to take over at center for Tigers, is one of 19 centers on the watch list that features 81 total interior linemen.
Clapp was a part of an offense that broke multiple school records in 2016, including the single-game individual rushing records by Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice along with the school record for total offense in an SEC game with 634 yards against Missouri.
The Bronko Nagurski Trophy is awarded to the National Defensive Player of the Year. Key, who was also named to the Maxwell and Bednarik watch lists earlier this week, set the single-season sacks record a year ago with 12. The Atlanta, Georgia, native totaled three PBUs and recovered three fumbles in 2017.
Toliver is expected to continue his impressive play that was seen in all 12 games of the Jacksonville, Florida, native’s freshman year and seven games in 2016 before suffering an injury. In seven games a year ago, Toliver recorded 21 tackles, including 12 solo. Toliver was also named to the Bednarik Award Watch List earlier this week.
The winner of the 72nd Outland Trophy – named after the late John Outland, an All-America lineman at Penn at the turn of the 20th century, will be announced live on ESPN at The Home Depot College Football Awards on Thursday, Dec. 7.

NASA's Juno Spacecraft Spots Jupiter's Great Red Spot
Caltech News tagged with "astronomy + exoplanets + JPL + planetary_science"
Images of Jupiter's Great Red Spot reveal a tangle of dark, veinous clouds weaving their way through a massive crimson oval. The JunoCam imager aboard NASA's Juno mission snapped pics of the most iconic feature of the solar system's largest planetary inhabitant during its Monday (July 10) flyby. The images of the Great Red Spot were downlinked from the spacecraft's memory on Tuesday and placed on the mission's JunoCam website Wednesday morning."For hundreds of years scientists have been observing, wondering and theorizing about Jupiter's Great Red Spot," said Scott Bolton, Juno principal investigator from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. "Now we have the best pictures ever of this iconic storm. It will take us some time to analyze all the data from not only JunoCam, but Juno's eight science instruments, to shed some new light on the past, present and future of the Great Red Spot."As planned by the Juno team, citizen scientists took the raw images of the flyby from the JunoCam site and processed them, providing a higher level of detail than available in their raw form. The citizen-scientist images, as well as the raw images they used for image processing, can be found at: https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing"I have been following the Juno mission since it launched," said Jason Major, a JunoCam citizen scientist and a graphic designer from Warwick, Rhode Island. "It is always exciting to see these new raw images of Jupiter as they arrive. But it is even more thrilling to take the raw images and turn them into something that people can appreciate. That is what I live for."Measuring in at 10,159 miles (16,350 kilometers) in width (as of April 3, 2017) Jupiter's Great Red Spot is 1.3 times as wide as Earth. The storm has been monitored since 1830 and has possibly existed for more than 350 years. In modern times, ...

On the Front Lines of Animal Heart Care
Tufts Now All Stories
Kristen Antoon, a veterinary technician at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine’s Foster Hospital for Small Animals, a year ago became the 20th certified veterinary technician specialist in cardiology in the United States. Her responsibilities include working with clients and their pets and conducting baseline evaluations such as electrocardiograms (ECGs), which can reveal any irregularities in heartbeats, as well as assisting with and performing echocardiograms and non-invasive blood pressure and cardiac catheter procedures.A graduate of the University of Connecticut with a degree in animal science, she joined the ICU team at Tufts in 2007, after working as an ICU and cardiology veterinary technician at Angell Animal Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts. While working in the ICU, she developed a passion for cardiology, and joined the Tufts cardiology team in 2012. In 2015, she started the application process to become a veterinary technician specialist in cardiology, a specialty recognized by the Academy of Internal Medicine for Veterinary Technicians.
Emily Tompkins Karlin, V08, a resident in cardiology, praised Antoon as someone who pays “remarkable attention to patient care,” she said. “She is so dedicated to the health and overall well-being of our patients, and consistently goes above and beyond for them.”
Recently, Antoon talked with Tufts Now about her work and how she’s inspiring other veterinary technicians to also aim high.
Tufts Now: What kind of work did you do when you first came?
Kristen Antoon: I was in intensive care, but when a job opened up in the cardiology department, I applied. The heart is a very complicated organ to understand, but I wanted a challenge. While the ICU is an environment of hustle and bustle, in cardiology we have a chance to get to know the client and the patient—to establish a relationship. I like being able to talk to the owners and be a resource for them. I have ...

RIT to provide process expertise for health screening project for 3-year-olds
RIT News Releases - Top Stories
Increasing access to GROW Rochester health and developmental screenings could help improve early childhood learning
June 19, 2017 by Michelle Cometa Follow Michelle Cometa on TwitterFollow RITNEWS on TwitterRebecca Ziebarth and Margi Ochs
Rochester Institute of Technology and GROW Rochester have teamed up on a citywide project to help increase the number of 3-year-olds in the city receiving timely and necessary health and preventive services. Early screening to assess health issues and providing suitable interventions could increase the likelihood of children being well-prepared for, and doing well, in school.
Identifying 3-year-olds in the city for health assessment screenings has been a challenge, with only about a third of the children readily accessible in early preschool programs or other formal and easily identified organizations. For the remaining children, GROW Rochester is intent on finding multiple ways to increase parental and community awareness of and access to screening, assessment and follow up services.
RIT’s John D. Hromi Center for Quality and Applied Statistics (CQAS) is participating with GROW Rochester and the Children’s Institute providing process support on this major health and developmental screening project with the goal of engaging a much higher percentage of families with 3-year-olds. The team intends to increase access from 1,000 children and families to 3,000.
Generally, by the time children are 3 they have completed well-child visits. GROW Rochester will complement existing care by “going to where the children are” and provide screenings for vision, hearing, speech, dental, social-emotional, cognitive, motor and other developmental needs that could impact learning if not checked prior to beginning school, said Rebecca Ziebarth, CQAS project manager.
“The partnership between the GROW Rochester and RIT will benefit Rochester’s children today and in the future,” said Ziebarth. She and Margi Ochs, director of Business Development and Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, are leading the RIT portion of the project. “If we can catch health ...

Campus Bookstore Renovations Aim to Create ‘Social Hub’
Campus Life – UConn Today
The most dramatic transformation students will notice when they return to Storrs this fall will not be among the many building construction projects making progress throughout the summer of 2017. It will be the renovations to the 45,000 square-foot UConn Bookstore in the center of campus.
In addition to a new entrance from the outdoor seating area along Hillside Road and a full-service Starbucks café, the UConn Bookstore will feature a comfortable public seating area of 3,000 square feet on the second floor overlooking Gampel Pavilion and the future site of the new Student Recreation Center, accessible directly via a new stairway.
Len Oser, general manager of The UConn Bookstores, says the changes – at a cost of $3 million, to be paid for by Barnes & Noble – aim to make the bookstore a gathering place for students, faculty, alumni, and visitors.
“We want this to be a much more exciting and engaging social hub,” says Oser. “It will be a place you’ll want to come to not just before a basketball game, but to have a cup of coffee or meet a friend. It will be a world-class bookstore with all the amenities, and be a great place to hang out, meet friends, and do some work.”

Enjoy!July 9 & 10 - BreannOn July 9th we arrived in Maribor, Slovenia, and joined a few other American teams who had been staying there for a few days. When we got there, we had a couple hours before practice so we took a chairlift to the top of the mountain to ride the rail all the way down. Nanj and I were the first to get in our carts and fly down the rail (of course). It was so fun! Then we had a scrimmage against a Slovenian team, and afterwards, we headed to dinner.Breann and Nandyala on the chair lift.
We ate with two other American teams. We took a gondola to the higher peak of the mountain and ate at an amazing restaurant at the very top of the mountain. We were up so high, our ears were popping in the gondola on the way up. The next day (July 10th) we woke up early to travel to Pula, Croatia.
There were three teams to a bus, and we all got in and started our five hour bus ride to Pula, Croatia. We slept most of the way, and when we arrived, our hotel was swimming with volleyball players ...

KU child research center wins $7.5M in grants to promote high-quality early education
KU News Headlines
KANSAS CITY, KANSAS — The Juniper Gardens Children’s Project (JGCP), located on the Children’s Campus of Kansas City in Kansas City, Kansas, has been awarded $7.5 million for four new research projects from the U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences. JGCP is one of the 13 affiliated research centers of the University of Kansas Life Span Institute. It is situated in and has been closely allied with the KCK community for more than 50 years.In collaboration with preschool and head start programs in the Kansas City metropolitan area, Charles Greenwood, Alana Schnitz and Judith Carta will evaluate a preschool literacy intervention.
“One of ways children learn literacy skills in preschool is through interactions with their teachers,” Greenwood said. “Literacy 3D helps teachers increase these interactions threefold or more.”
The award for this project was $3.3 million. Carta is the interim director for JGCP and professor of special education and senior scientist. Greenwood is professor of applied behavioral sciences and senior scientist. Schnitz is postdoctoral fellow at JGCP.
Greenwood, Carta and Dwight Irvin, assistant research professor, will assist preschool teachers in adapting language and early literacy instruction for children who are unresponsive to instruction. The $1.4 million CIRCLE project (Validity Studies of the Classroom Code for Interactive Recording of Children’s Learning Environments) is based on prior work in the Kansas City, Kansas, community to improve educational results for young children.
Associate Research Professors Jay Buzhardt and Dale Walker, along with Irvin, are developing a data-based decision-making system that will help preschool educators promote the problem-solving skills of infants and toddlers.
“Cognitive problem-solving skills begin early and are critical to later academic achievement,” Walker said. “But early educators often lack the training and resources to identify and support children whose skills are not developing as expected.”
The web-based system will provide individualized guidance to early educators about which children may need ...

College Students Win First Place at National Competition
Lone Star College Kingwood News
Published on: June 25, 2015
LSC-Kingwoods project management class earned first place at the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) Challenge in Houston. Pictured in back are Timothy Thurmon and Daniel Goncalves. In front are Jennifer Taylor, Ashley Gallegos, and Andrew Chapman. The students were led by Mike Griffith, management and marketing professor, far right.
A project management class at Lone Star College-Kingwood received an opportunity of a lifetime when they begin the spring 2015 semester.
The students were approached by EdVenture Partners to come up with a successful recruitment campaign for the petrochemical industry. After discussion and a vote, the class decided to accept the project that ultimately led them to winning first place at the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) Challenge in Houston. The students heavily competed against the University of Houston and the University of Texas at Arlington.
We were excited, but nervous that we were the only community college that was selected as one of the three finalists, said Ashley Gallegos.
I think it was a huge boon that we spread out and socialized with various CEOs the night before the presentation. They got to know more about us and we got to learn more about the industry, said Timothy Thurmon.
The project management class created an integrated communication marketing campaign to highlight different fuel and petrochemical manufacturing careers and primarily craft professional opportunities to the millennial generation. They focused on three demographics: pre-college, college, and post-college.
The biggest misconception is that only blue collar jobs are available. I was unaware there were a variety of jobs available for people right out of high school, trade school, or college, said Andrew Chapman.
This project turned out to be a great real life experience on how to work in a group, work with deadlines and how to solve challenges, Thurmon said. It was intense, but rewarding.

News RSS
At its 16th Annual Conference in June 2017, the Association of Standardized Patient Educators (ASPE) presented Karen Lewis, PhD, with the Outstanding Educator of the Year Award. Lewis serves as the director of administration of the Standardized Patient Program and the Clinical Learning and Simulation Skills (CLASS) Center at the George Washington University (GW) School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS).“I didn’t know I was nominated,” Lewis said. “The speaker started talking about my background and I thought it sounded like someone else! It’s a tremendous honor to be recognized by my peers.”
ASPE puts out its request for nominees a few months ahead of the annual conference. The awardee is then chosen by a committee of former recipients selected by the ASPE president.
Past recipients of the award have been involved in human simulation education, have made significant contributions to the field of standardized patient education, and have been recognized as leaders of their institutions, communities, and in national and international organizations.
Lewis has had nearly two decades of experience in medical education. At SMHS, she oversees curriculum and training activities at the CLASS Center, which provides students with the opportunity to supplement their classroom education with comprehensive clinical exposure, feedback, and evaluation through simulation. Lewis is also one of the facilitators for the Teaching and Learning Knowledge and Skills course, which trains senior medical students to be educators.
“I’m very fortunate to work at GW. We do so many simulation activities here, and our faculty are so involved and supportive,” Lewis said of her CLASS Center experience. “This kind of experience has enabled me to learn more about the simulation field and made me a better educator.”
Lewis has been a part of ASPE since the organization formed in 1998. She has remained active, spending three years as chair for the publications and website committee, serving ...

A model of success: WVU graduate lands national magazine cover
Stories | WVU Today | West Virginia University
West Virginia University
alumna Elleyse Gemondo just took her modeling career to the next level, landing
her first national magazine cover earlier this summer.
“Last year, Bella
Gladys, a high-end publication that features models, brands, designers and
photographers from around the world, invited me to be a model in its summer
issue of 2017,” Gemondo, Bridgeport native, said. “We did the photoshoots last
fall with two different photographers and teams.”
Gemondo credits WVU for
much of her success.
“My experience at WVU
has truly shaped who I am today,” she said. “I was a part of various clubs and
organizations, including the Delta Gamma Sorority, Mountaineer Maniacs and
the Fashion Business Association, and I served as
a WVU college representative for BANGS Shoes.”
As a fashion, design
and merchandising major (now fashion, dress and merchandising), Gemondo
took advantage of the program’s annual Fashion Study Tour in New York City,
where she met many top designers and got an inside look at the fashion
industry, and Disegno
Italia, an interdisciplinary study abroad trip, hosted by the WVU Davis College of
Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design and College of Creative
Arts. During the latter, Gemondo traveled to Italy and studied
digital photography, Italian and art history.
Throughout her college
career, Gemondo consistently pursued opportunities that would challenge her and
give her a competitive edge.
“WVU taught me how to
work hard for what I wanted – while successfully multitasking – and to always
go above and beyond to get myself known in the industry,” she said.
This fall, Gemondo, who
currently works as a merchandising assistant for Gabriel Brothers, Inc., will
begin graduate studies at LIM College in New York City. Her ultimate goal is to
become a buyer in the fashion industry while pursuing modeling on the side.
Although this was
Gemondo’s first cover shoot, this wasn’t her first time in ...

Study by UTA professor shows many parents in the dark about concussions
The University of Texas at Arlington News Releases
Dr. Cynthia Trowbridge
Despite the large volume of information about sports related concussions on the Internet, many parents and guardians of young athletes have a limited understanding of concussions, according to a study co-authored by a faculty member of UTA’s College of Nursing and Health Innovation.
In the study, which was published in May in the Journal of Applied Behavioral Research, Cynthia Trowbridge, an associate professor of kinesiology and athletic trainer, and co-author Sheetal J. Patel of Stanford University, found that a significant number of caregivers have a limited understanding of concussions and their impact on a child’s future.
“They did understand that it’s a severe injury but they didn’t understand how susceptible patients are,” said Trowbridge, a noted expert on concussions in middle and high school athletes. “We found out that despite the fact that all parents had read some brochure or seen some TV show about concussions they had a low self efficacy about awareness. They tended not to know that concussions are associated with all sports, including track and field, volleyball and swimming.”
Sports related concussions account for 53 percent of all head injuries in young people under the age of 19, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. The CDC estimates that there are between 1.6 and 3.8 million sports related injuries among young people each year.
Concussions have received heightened attention in recent years because of the large number of retired professional football players who have sued the National Football League. These retired players claim that in some instances they were sent back into games despite the fact that their coaches knew there was a reasonable chance they may have suffered concussions on the gridiron.
In each of the 50 states there are laws requiring teams to take out athletes who may have suffered concussions. The decision is often made by members of the ...
