Vanderbilt Diabetes: News Highlights
Alyssa Hasty, Ph.D., Molecular Physiology & Biophysics Professor and DRTC Investigator, has been named Associate Dean for Faculty Development for Basic Sciences at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.
--------------------------------
In the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, Kristie Aamodt, an M.D., Ph.D. student, Marcela Brissova, Ph.D., Alvin Powers, M.D., and colleagues reported a strategy to rapidly test potential mitogens for their ability to increase human beta cell replication. Human pancreatic islets were dispersed into single cells and stimulated with a series of mitogenic compounds. After staining, an automated imaging and analysis approach was developed to identify the number of dividing beta islet cells.

Slowing the burden of diabetes
Researchers at VUMC received more than $11 million in new grant
support
aimed at slowing the growing burden of diabetes.
One new grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and
Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
of the NIH (grant number DK106755) will provide $6.2 million over
five years to discover “pancreatic islet signatures”
in type 2 diabetes. A second NIDDK grant (DK108120) will
provide $4.4 million over five years to study the maturation
of the human pancreas during the first five years of life.

NIH Grant Bolsters Mass Spectrometry Research Initiatives
The five-year, $10.5-million grant will support groundbreaking
projects aimed at visualizing, at the molecular level,
retinal disease, ovarian cancer, the impact of diabetes on the
kidney and brain, and host-pathogen interactions
in infectious diseases, said the grant’s principal investigator,
Richard Caprioli, Ph.D.

Diabetes Drugs May Ease Addiction
Drugs that mimic the action of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and
which are being used clinically to treat
obesity and Type 2 diabetes, also may have a role in treating drug
abuse.
That’s the implication of a study in mice by Aurelio Galli,
Ph.D., and colleagues published recently
in the journal Translational Psychiatry.

Major grants bolster VUMC diabetes
research
“We hope these grants will provide new insight
into what causes the insulin deficiency
in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes and help us understand how to
prevent or better treat diabetes.”
