Did you know? Through a $2.2 million, five-year grant renewal from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, co-principal investigators Satrajit Sinha, PhD, and Rose-Anne Romano, PhD, are hoping to help alleviate suffering for patients with salivary gland dysfunction. With their project, “Regulatory mechanisms that dictate stem and differentiated cell populations of the salivary gland,” they aim to understand how salivary glands develop, maintain and repair themselves after injury or from diseased states. Sinha is a professor of biochemistry in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo, and Romano is an associate professor of oral biology at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. Both of their labs have been at the forefront of studying p63, a protein that regulates many cell activities. » Read the full story to find out why, with this new grant, they are primarily focusing on p63: http://ms.spr.ly/6043Ww7hc #UBuffalo #SalivaryGlandDysfunction #p63 #Biochemistry #OralBiology

✨ Yesterday, 12 novembre 2024, we had the immense pleasure of welcoming Professor Ayyalusamy Ramamoorthy from the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University, USA. ✨ 📢 Professor Ramamoorthy’s presentation, "Probing Membrane-Assisted Protein-Protein Interactions by NMR," focused on the crucial role of molecular interactions at the cell membrane interface and their implications in the pathomechanisms of various diseases. His team’s pioneering work in developing membrane mimetics (such as nanodiscs and bicelles) and NMR approaches to study dynamic structural interactions between membrane bound proteins such as cytochromes. His team has also been investigating the self-assembly process related to protein aggregation and phase separation. Particularly, amyloid peptides involved in Alzheimer’s Disease, and Type-2 diabetes. 🙏Thank you, Professor Ramamoorthy, for this inspiring exchange and for sharing your impactful research! 🌎🤝 #Research #Innovation #Collaboration #BiomedicalScience #StructuralBiology #NMR #ProteinInteractions #Amyloids

UIC Biomedical Engineering Professor Salman Khetani, Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington Nancy Allbritton, and UIC PhD student Dinithi Samarasekera received a grant from the National Institute of Health to create an intestinal liver model to understand how the liver and intestines affect each other in the body and study how each regulates the other’s functions in its early and conceptual stages.

🔬 Easy determination of antioxidants in skin: Report on a new #Raman_sensor_system for medical diagnostics   Thiem-Research GmbH, a research subsidiary of the Carl-Thiem-Klinikum Cottbus gGmbH (CTK) in Cottbus, Germany, has initiated clinical trials for a novel compact Raman sensor system developed in collaboration with the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik in Berlin. This innovative technology represents a significant advance in medical diagnostics.   💡 Approximately 50 volunteers and patients from the 2nd Medical Clinic of the CTK Cottbus are participating in the clinical test phase, and additional participants are being sought for this non-invasive test phase. Research has shown the importance of skin carotenoid concentration as an indicator of health status, potential disease and therapy efficacy. This research is the focus of a BMBF-funded project at the Innovationscampus Elektronik und Mikrosensorik Cottbus - #iCampµs Cottbus.   👍 The prototype Raman sensor system, based on Raman spectroscopy, offers exceptional capabilities in substance detection with non-contact operation, fast measurement times and suitability for biochemical substance analysis.   Read the full article to discover the potential of this project for medical diagnostics and life science applications, as well as what the next phase may bring for chemotherapeutic treatments.   👉 https://lnkd.in/dMX2N3DJ   #AirportRegionBB #research #LifeSciences #diagnostics #photonics

Toward a Biomedical Research Enterprise That Better Serves the United States "The decline of the U.S. biomedical research enterprise would have grave implications not only for scientific progress but also for the national health, economy, and overall prosperity." "we can easily imagine a future in which the United States no longer leads the pack in biomedical innovations and medical breakthroughs" "we need a strategic vision and oversight body, as well as enhanced coordination at the national level" "because of silos and lack of coordination, redundant investigations occur in parallel, and important research questions are left unexplored" "we need a workforce that is adequately compensated and able to focus on the issues that matter most" "It is essential to act now, and act with purpose, to strengthen and reinvigorate the U.S. biomedical research enterprise."
