Martin\, MD\, PhD\, "Hippo Signaling in Heart Regeneration" DESCRIPTION:Speaker: James F. Martin\, MD\, PhD\, Vivian L. Smith Professor in Regenerative Medicine\, Baylor College of Medicine; Director\, Cardiomyocyte Renewal Lab\, Texas Heart InstituteTopic: “Hippo Signaling in Heart Regeneration” \nSeminar Synopsis: Dr. Martin is an internationally recognized developmental and regenerative biologist who has made fundamental contributions to our understanding of development\, disease\, and regeneration. He has authored more than 135 peer-reviewed papers in top journals such as Nature\, Science\, Cell\, Developmental Cell\, Plos Genetics\, Development\, and PNAS. His recent groundbreaking work on the Hippo pathway in heart size regulation is a landmark study that led to the insight that the Hippo pathway is an inhibitor of adult heart muscle regeneration. Dr. Martin’s insights revealed new avenues for treatment of human heart failure. Dr. Martin has made fundamental insights into the role of the transcription factor Pitx2 in atrial fibrillation\, the most common sustained arrhythmia in the human population. He made use of the mouse model to investigate Pitx2 in atrial homeostasis but also in left right asymmetric morphogenesis that is essential for human development. Dr. Martin’s studies investigating Pitx2 function in craniofacial development provided insight into the molecular basis of Rieger syndrome. He uncovered a pivotal function for Bmp signaling in endothelial-mesenchymal transition and cardiac valve development. Dr. Martin’s studies uncovered a novel role for canonical Wnt signaling in cardiac progenitor cell diversification. He found the first microRNA implicated in orofacial clefting. Dr. Martin’s studies are highly cited and also reported on by the lay media.

Despite the extremely common nature of these conditions\, there is little scientifically-based evidence to guide the care of patients with these commonly-encountered conditions. Indeed\, most of the algorithms of care for these diseases are governed by opinions and best guesses as to good practice rather than hard evidence. Dr. Peery’s research has challenged long-held beliefs about risk factors for uncomplicated diverticulosis and raised new questions about a long neglected disease. She recently served as a content expert and co-authored the guideline for the management of acute diverticulitis for the American Gastroenterological Association. She also co-authored a commentary that addressed a controversial recommendation generated by the guideline. \nDr. Peery recently received a career development award by the National Institutes of Health to study the effectiveness\, benefits\, and harms of antibiotics for acute diverticulitis. In addition\, this award will allow her to develop a novel patient-reported outcome measure for acute diverticulitis. Her group is also studying the utilization of surgery for non-malignant colorectal diseases.

COPD is the third leading cause of death in the United States\, with an estimated 650\,000 North Carolinians living with COPD. Recent guidelines have proposed a multidimensional assessment to define disease control and inform appropriate inhaler selection. With more than 18 FDA-approved maintenance inhalers available for COPD\, including multiple delivery devices\, selection of appropriate inhaler and device can be complex. Dr. Drummond will review the recent updates to the COPD management guidelines\, as well as discuss emerging evidence regarding the role of peak inspiratory flow measurements to inform optimal inhaler selection for COPD patients. \nDr. Drummond is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary Diseases and Critical Care Medicine. He is the Director of the UNC Obstructive Lung Diseases Clinical and Translational Research Center located at the Meadowmont Facility. Dr. Drummond’s research interests include characterizing the mechanisms for development of chronic lung disease in individuals at-risk or with COPD\, with a focus on high-risk populations including persons living with HIV or those in rural residences.

Martin\, MD\, PhD\, “Hippo Signaling in Heart Regeneration” DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Joan Taylor\, PhD\, Professor and Vice Chair for Research in Pathology and Lab Medicine\, UNC School of MedicineTopic: “GRAFs mind the GAP between muscle fate and function” \nSeminar Synopsis: The overall goal of our research is to characterize the intracellular signaling pathways that govern normal and aberrant growth responses in the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal system. For this seminar\, I will focus on the role of GRAF family member RhoGAPs in muscle fate and function. We originally identified GRAF1 (GTPase-regulator for RhoA associated with FAK) in an un-biased screen for Focal Adhesion Kinase binding partners and over the past several years we have shown that GRAF1 (Arhgap26) and it’s family members GRAF2 (Arhgap10) and -3 (Arhgap42) are critical for limiting RhoA activity in muscle (cardiac\, skeletal and smooth) wherein they play unique roles in co-regulating actin and membrane dynamics. In this seminar\, I will highlight our latest studies on GRAF3 which indicate a critical role for this protein in the development and pathogenesis of human hypertension. Moreover\, I will present new evidence to suggest that GRAF1 and GRAF2 may be equally as important for maintaining cardiac and skeletal muscle homeostasis respectively by novel mechanisms that involve mitochondrial quality control. Collectively\, our findings support the possibility that targeting GRAFs might provide promising therapeutic strategies to limit hypertension and striated muscle degeneration.

There is a growing pool of data demonstrating the significant effect a drug allergy diagnosis can have on morbidity and mortality of the hospitalized patient\, as well as the immense cost it can add to the health care system. A simple skin-based testing procedure has been commercially available since 2009; data on its use has shown that the vast majority of penicillin-allergic patients are no longer allergic at the time of testing. However\, far too few patients receive this testing. Dr. Kim will review data showing the scope of the drug allergy problem. This will include the diagnostic and therapeutic options for these patients\, with a focus on the pilot UNC allergy and immunology inpatient penicillin allergy testing program. \nEdwin Kim is specifically interested in the use of immunotherapy in the treatment of food allergy. He is the director of the UNC Allergy and Immunology Fellowship Training Program as well as of the UNC Food Allergy Initiative.
