Prediction of mortality in hip fracture patients
Huvudhandledare: Karl-Åke Jansson
Lecturer: Professor Anders Tengholm, Department of Medical Cell Biology, Uppsala University
The magnitude and temporal pattern of insulin secretion is determined by interplay between several intracellular messengers and signalling proteins in pancreatic b-cells. Live-cell imaging have shown that glucose and neuro-hormonal stimuli induce dynamic changes of the sub-plasmalemmal concentrations of e.g. ATP, Ca2+ and cyclic AMP, which contribute to pulsatile insulin secretion. Moreover, secretory products elicit auto- and paracrine signalling that influence the secretion pattern. This presentation will review some recent insights into the spatio-temporal regulation of these signalling systems and how signalling defects may contribute to impaired insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes.

Major part of a pancreatic islet is composed of beta cells that secrete insulin, a key hormone regulating influx of nutrients into all cells in a vertebrate organism to support nutrition, housekeeping or energy storage. Beta cells constantly communicate with each other using both direct, short-range interactions through gap junctions, and paracrine long-range signaling. However, to what extent each of these cell-cell interactions shape collective sensing and cell behavior in islets that leads to insulin release is largely unknown. The functional multicellular imaging (fMCI) records a full temporal activity trace for every cell in an optical plane of an islet from which meaningful quantitative statements about the dynamics of unitary Ca2+ responses and information flow in the beta cell collective are possible. I will present how computational methods from network analyses, spin glass model to random matrix theory form valuable tools to extract the mechanisms underlying collective sensing and behavior of beta cells in pancreatic islets.

Professor Raul Cavalcante Maranhão, University of São Paulo, Brazil
Professor Maranhão graduated in Medicine at the University of Brasilia (1973) and completed his Residency in Clinical Medicine and Endocrinology, at the Hospital das Clínicas, Faculty of Medicine, University of São Paulo (1975) and Doctorate in Sciences (General Physiology) at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, University of São Paulo ). He has a postdoctoral degree from the Biophysics Institute, Boston University Medical School (1982-1984) and was a Visiting Professor at the Dept. of Molecular Genetics of that University (1990). He has a PhD from FCF-USP (1987), in the area of Clinical Biochemistry. He is currently a Full Professor at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at USP and directs the Laboratory of Metabolism of Lipids of the Heart Institute (InCor) of the Hospital das Clínicas of the Faculty of Medicine of USP. His main lines of research are related to the metabolism of lipoproteins and use of nanoparticles for drug delivery for the treatment of degenerative diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

Oncological aspects of reconstructive breast surgery
Huvudhandledare: Jana de Boniface
Varmt välkommen till utdelningen av Jeanette Bonniers stipendium. Stipendiet möjliggör för unga diabetesforskare att besöka andra universitet för att lära sig nya metoder och stimulera forskningssamarbete. Priset delas nu ut till två unga diabetesforskare; Karin Rådholm och Kristofer Hedman.
Karin Rådholm kommer från Linköpings Universitet. I sin doktorsavhandling undersöker Karin faktorer kopplade till hjärt-kärl-sjukdom, särskilt förmaksflimmer, högt blodtryck och diabetes hos äldre. Tillsammans med en forskargrupp vid University of Sydney, Australien, ska hon nu undersöka risken för kärl-komplikationer i stora och små blodkärl vid typ 2-diabetes.
Kristofer Hedman kommer från Linköpings Universitet. I sin doktorsavhandling undersöker han hjärtfunktionen hos friska och hjärtsjuka personer. Han ska nu tillsammans med en forskargrupp vid Stanford University, USA, studera immunologiska och metabola mekanismer bakom hjärt-muskelinflammation hos personer med diabetes.
Tacksam för svar senast måndagen den 27 november
