Dr Sam Bose receives his poster prize at the BHF CRE event on 3 October

Congratulations to Dr Sam Bose, from the Burton lab, who won the Best Poster Prize in the postdoc category at this week's BHF CRE Annual Symposium 2019.

Sam presented his poster titled 'IP3 mediated changes in guinea pig SA node beating rate are dependent upon Ca2+-sensitive adenylyl cyclases and independent of soluble guanylyl cyclase activity'. A record 60 posters were submitted for this year's event.

The Oxford BHF CRE annual research symposium creates an opportunity for cardiovascular researchers from across the basic, clinical and population sciences to meet and share ideas and opportunities for research and collaborations.

Key cellular channel identified as a brake on lung scarring

Pulmonary fibrosis is a serious and often fatal condition in which lung tissue becomes progressively scarred, stiff, and less able to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream. With limited treatment options and no cure other than lung transplantation, there is an urgent need to understand the biological mechanisms that drive this disease. A new study from the Grimm Group, published in The EMBO Journal, identifies a previously unrecognised protective role for a cellular ion channel called TRPML1 in preventing lung scarring. The research shows that when this channel is absent or non-functional, the lungs develop a fibrosis-like condition marked by excessive accumulation of structural proteins such as collagen and elastin
