#ExpertAnswers: Christopher Perry and Homira Osman on Integrating Patients, Clinical, and Advocacy Partners with Preclinical Research Labs
Dr. Christopher Perry, York University and Dr. Homira Osman, Muscular Dystrophy Canada answer questions from a recent webinar on how the integration of clinical, industrial, and not-for-profit advocacy partners with preclinical research labs offers great potential to improve our research impact.
Unlocking Heart Health: Revolutionizing Diastolic Function through Integrative Muscle Physiology at Wayne State University
Dr. Charles Chung is an Associate Professor of Physiology at Wayne State University. Using integrated physiology, analyzing data from the molecular level to the whole muscle, his laboratory aims to provide new directions and identify novel treatments for a variety of cardiac disorders. Learn more about his research group by watching the interview or summarized blog below.
Control of Muscle Glucose Uptake in vivo: Thinking Outside the Myocyte
In this webinar, David Wasserman, PhD provides a more complete understanding of muscle glucose uptake through consideration of the integration of physiological systems that control this process.
Cut and Paste of Myosin Binding Protein-C in Striated Muscles
Dr. Samantha Harris discusses the development of three new mouse models in her lab, engineered to target and replace specific myosin binding protein-C paralogs in muscle fibers and impact of their mutations on skeletal and cardiac muscle diseases.
Integrating Patient Engagement and Trainee Development in Pre-Clinical Research
Christopher Perry, PhD discusses how his laboratory aims to discover mechanisms by which metabolic dysfunction causes muscle weakness and apply these findings to develop new therapies for muscle disorders. Homira Osman, PhD provides a particular focus on leveraging scientific findings for practice and policy and linking trainees with patient communities.
Can the Immune System Protect after Repeated Myocardial Injury?
While the immune response to a single cardiac event has been well researched, few have reported on whether an adaptive immunity is observed after repeated cardiac injury. Here, we discuss a recent publication from Tiwary et al., in which they investigate the cytoprotective response after multiple cardiomyopathic injuries.
