Epigenetic and post-translational modification of the diseased heart

Sponsored by the American Physiological Society (APS)

Monday 22 July, 0930 - 1130
(Symposia)

The emergence of the four-chambered heart and its underlying substructures was a critical event in vertebrate evolution.  Comparative studies of the vertebrate cardiovascular system provide insights into the mechanisms that drove the evolution of the f

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: New mechanisms of neuronal and glial signalling in the injured spinal cord

Spinal cord research has uncovered a complex repertoire of signalling molecules and ion channels expressed in neurones that regulate excitability and trigger injury-induced maladaptive sensitization.

Peptide modulation of hedonic food intake

It is clear that mechanisms other than those maintaining homeostatic energy balance drive food intake - we eat for pleasure.

Physiology of protein palmitoylation

Protein palmitoylation, the most common form of S-acylation, is rapidly emerging as a dynamic and fundamental post-translational control mechanism in the control of protein function.  Very recent advances in both methodological approaches as well as th

Orchestrating signals towards early therapeutically relevant clinical measures of neurodegeneration

Neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, are major disease burdens that are increasing with an ageing population.  This symposium will bring together leading experts to address the latest discoveries in the understanding of the causes
