**Philipp Scherer** is Professor and Director of the Touchstone Diabetes Center at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Basel, Switzerland, followed by post-doctoral training the Whitehead Institute at MIT in Cambridge. In 1997, he joined the faculty of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine where he was a Professor for Cell Biology and Medicine. Throughout his career, he has maintained an interest in processes related to cellular and systemic energy homeostasis. He identified adiponectin, one of the first secretory factors to be described that almost exclusively originate in adipose tissue and which is currently widely studied by many different research groups.Current efforts in his laboratory are focused on the identification and physiological characterization of novel proteins that serve as potential links between the adipocyte, liver, the pancreatic beta cell and the processes of whole body energy homeostasis, inflammation, cancer and cardiovascular disease.Scherer has been on the faculty of UT Southwestern Medical Center since 2007 as a member of the Department of Internal Medicine. He holds the Touchstone Distinguished Chair in Diabetes Research and is a member of the Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center. He was awarded the 2015 Banting Medal for Scientific Achievement from the American Diabetes Association, the 2017 European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) / Novo Nordisk Foundation Diabetes Prize for Excellence and the 2018 Manpei Suzuki Prize.

**Dr. Joseph Bass** is the Charles F Kettering Professor of Medicine, and the Chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Molecular Medicine at Northwestern University.
Joseph Bass established links between molecular clocks and metabolism that have been at the forefront of studies of circadian biomedicine. He made the original discovery that disruption of the core molecular circadian clock leads to desynchrony between feeding and sleep cycles and promotes obesity, demonstrating that clock genes are essential for glucose and body weight homeostasis. He subsequently demonstrated that cellular clocks control hunger, insulin secretion, and mitochondrial function, and that an obesogenic diet dissociates clock cycles from the environment, revealing that circadian timing governs metabolic health. He also showed that the circadian clock regulates nucleotide metabolism, in turn modulating day/night cycles of mitochondrial respiration and exercise capacity.
Active as both an endocrinologist and investigator, Bass has opened up a new field that is illuminating how molecular clocks control physiology at different times of day, with a broad range of medical implications including new avenues for treating diabetes and obesity.

**Making Physics More Inclusive and Eliminating Exclusionary Practices in Physics**

As a gateway discipline to STEM majors and careers, physics plays a central role in deciding who does, and who doesn't, get to discover and pursue scientific careers. Technical and scientific professionals are rewarded with economic privilege and status which affords them both social and cultural power. Therefore, social justice will be realized only when the opportunity, and the choice, to excel in physics is open to all students. The culture and practices of the physics classroom reflect the culture of physics at large, which raises the question of how our professional physics communities can embrace, rather than inadvertently repel, a diverse group of academics that can help improve physics culture.  To this end, the 2021 Physics Education Research Conference will focus on defining inclusive spaces and practices. Additionally, we will explore strategies for eliminating exclusionary practices in our classrooms, research spaces, and professional organizations. We call on the community to propose sessions that will drive conversations related to these initiatives throughout PERC 2021.

Making Physics More Inclusive and Eliminating Exclusionary Practices in Physics

The recent years have seen a revolution in the science and practice of crystal growth. Novel mechanisms of nucleation and growth have decoded mysteries that have puzzled the community for ages. Elaborate processes and advanced techniques have birthed materials with unprecedented properties and exciting applications. Rationales developed within the crystal growth realm have illuminated longstanding conundrums in geology, biology, and medicine. 

These jointly-held conferences are the premier forums to discuss the huge modern advances in all aspects of crystal growth, both in the bulk and as epitaxial films. We will continue the tradition of numerous ACCGE and OMVPE meetings and bring together the topmost experts in the field from industry, academia, and government laboratories. Joining the two conferences affords an exceptional opportunity to present and discuss original results and provides a venue for newcomers to embrace the hot, new advances in science and technology. Our format is designed to maximize interaction among leading specialists and the wider crystal growth community, with oral and poster sessions as well as plenary and invited speakers to provide a broad picture of the up-to-date developments in the field.

**About**
<br>The PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments (PETRA) conference is a highly interdisciplinary conference that focuses on computational and engineering approaches to improve the quality of life and enhance human performance in a wide range of settings, in the workplace, at home, in public spaces, urban environments, and other. Outcomes of this conference have a broad impact in application areas that include, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, energy systems, security and safety, robotics, biomedicine, environment and conservation, and many others. PETRA brings together very different types of technologies to also address important social and healthcare issues for sensitive populations, such as the elderly, persons suffering from chronic conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Cerebral Palsy, and other disabilities or traumas.

<br>PETRA (which means “stone” in Greek) addresses important human living needs. From a technological perspective, PETRA motivates and inspires new scientific thrusts, innovations and discoveries to improve living environments, a particularly important issue, in an increasingly crowded and complex world where the need for inclusiveness and connectivity with the rest of the world is key. For the elderly in particular, PETRA addresses the fact that, as people grow older; they will increasingly rely on technology to be able to prolong staying in their homes and enjoy an independent life.

<br>The PETRA 2021 proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library as part of the ACM ICPS program. The ISBN number assigned to PETRA '21 is 978-1-4503-8792-7

'The Genetics of Exercise Adherence and Response'

Metabolism and Society: A Short History of Mutual Transformation 

Title: Identification and characterization of SDR, a new regulator of the hepatic response to fasting.

Authors: Nolwenn Samson, Cristina Bosoi, Mathilde Mouchiroud, Yves Gélinas, André Marette, Mathieu Laplante.

The liver is a critical hub for numerous physiological processes, including macronutrient metabolism, endocrine control of growth signalling pathways, lipid and glucose homeostasis, bile acid production, and amino acid metabolism. Processing, partitioning, and metabolism of macronutrients provide the energy needed to drive these processes and are therefore among the most critical functions of the liver. In response to feeding, hepatocytes store glucose in the form of glycogen and use dietary lipids to synthesize lipoproteins, which distribute triglycerides and cholesterol to peripheral tissues. In response to fasting, these cells break down glycogen stores and initiate the production of glucose via the gluconeogenic pathway to maintain glycemia. The hepatocytes also promote fatty acid oxidation to support the production of ketone bodies. The metabolic flexibility of the hepatocytes in response to changes in energy and nutrients levels is essential to insure survival. Over the years, several proteins and signalling nodes have been identified as playing key roles in regulating the response of the liver to fasting. Despite these advances, new discoveries are constantly emerging and our understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling this important biological process keeps evolving. Therefore, the main objective of this project is to identify and characterize new proteins regulating liver metabolism in response to fasting. 
In this context, we used hepatocytes isolated by serial dilutions and obtained more than 30 new clonal lines. Interestingly, we found that some of these lines produced low glucose amounts (Low Lines) whereas others produced high amounts (High Lines). Hepatic glucose production was assessed in these clonal lines since it is a process that occurs during fasting. To identify the factors involved in this variability between these lines, we performed transcriptomic assays on High and Low lines, and obtained 25 new targets that could be potentially involved in hepatic glucose production. Our first interesting candidate is a short dehydrogenase reductase (SDR) gene, whose expression is higher in High Lines versus Low Lines. This SDR gene encodes for a protein of unknown function. Our studies indicate that SDR is induced by fasting and PPARα, repressed by insulin, and that the SDR enzyme localizes to mitochondria. Knockdown of SDR in vitro decreases oxygen consumption and fatty acid oxidation, suggesting an involvement in mitochondrial metabolism. With our work, we hope to elucidate the role of SDR in regulating the hepatic response to fasting.

Hepatic Steatosis in ESC-Derived Hepatocyte-Like Cells is Associated with Altered TCA Cycle Activity, Supported by the Purine Nucleotide Cycle

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent form of hepatic disease globally, with ~88% of obese individuals at risk of developing hepatic steatosis. Studies suggest an association between NAFLD and altered TCA cycle activity, but have not demonstrated the precise nature of these alterations, nor the impact on NAFLD pathology. We hypothesize that hepatic steatosis is associated with altered electron transport chain and TCA cycle activity, which may influence the downstream activity of epigenome-modifying enzymes. To determine changes in mitochondrial metabolism, and overcome limitations associated with current models of steatosis, we used a novel stem cell-based model. We differentiated human pluripotent stem cells to hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) before treating with lactate, pyruvate and octanoate (LPO). Lipid droplet analysis by high content analysis microscopy revealed the presence of macrovesicular steatosis in treated cells, mirroring human hepatic steatosis. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis revealed similar transcriptomic patterns to those observed in human NAFLD. Using a 13C-labelled lactate tracer, we observed decreased metabolite flux through succinate, corresponding with decreased maximal respiration, suggesting impairment of succinate dehydrogenase. Surprisingly, flux through fumarate was maintained in steatotic HLCs, which was supported through increased purine nucleotide cycle and malate-aspartate shuttle activity. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that hepatic steatosis is associated with altered mitochondrial respiration and rewiring of the TCA cycle. Further studies with other steatosis-inducing compounds will be useful to determine whether this rewiring is a common feature associated with steatosis, or whether it is linked to the combination of substrates used in this study. This will give further insight into how different dietary composition influences the development of steatosis.

Versatile enzyme reveals possible role of glucokinase activity in the metabolism of Phytophthora infestans



Abstract



Phytopthora infestans is the causal agent of late blight disease, which affects potato and tomato crops throughout the world, causing significant economic losses in the production of these crops. A detailed understanding of the metabolism of this phytopathogen could contribute to the search for truly effective solutions to the threat posed by this disease. However, current knowledge about its biochemistry is very limited. Glucokinase 1 from P. infestans (PiGlck-1) is a versatile enzyme capable of phosphorylating D-glucose and D-fructose, using as phosphoryl donors both ATP and ADP and PPi. The high expression of PiGlck-1 in structures involved with the establishment of infection could be related to the need for a high supply of NADPH to fuel redox metabolism. Therefore PiGlck-1 would not only be limited to the generation of energy through glycolysis, phosphorylating available D-glucose and D-fructose, but would also provide the glucose 6 phosphate (G6P) necessary to fuel the pathway of the pentose phosphate that generates NADPH and combat oxidative stress. With the characterization of this enzyme, we contribute new knowledge about the role that this glucokinase may be playing in P. infestans. Furthermore, it represents a potential target of attack towards the design of inhibitors of the activity of this key enzyme of its metabolism.

Key words: Phytopthora infestans, glucokinase, glucose, fructose, glycolosis, pentose phosphate, oxidative stress.

Secreted polypeptides are a fundamental axis of intercellular and endocrine communication. However, a global understanding of the composition and dynamics of cellular secretomes in intact mammalian organisms has been lacking. Here, we introduce a proximity biotinylation strategy that enables labeling, detection and enrichment of secreted polypeptides in a cell type-selective manner in mice. We generate a proteomic atlas of hepatocyte, myocyte, pericyte and myeloid cell secretomes by direct purification of biotinylated secreted proteins from blood plasma. Our secretome dataset validates known cell type–protein pairs, reveals secreted polypeptides that distinguish between cell types and identifies new cellular sources for classical plasma proteins. Lastly, we uncover a dynamic and previously undescribed nutrient-dependent reprogramming of the hepatocyte secretome characterized by the increased unconventional secretion of the cytosolic enzyme betaine–homocysteine S-methyltransferase (BHMT). This secretome profiling strategy enables dynamic and cell type-specific dissection of the plasma proteome and the secreted polypeptides that mediate intercellular signaling.

Abstract

Regular physical exercise improves health by reducing the risk of a plethora of chronic disorders. We hypothesized that endurance exercise remodels the activity of gene enhancers in skeletal muscle, and that remodeling of enhancers contributes to the beneficial effects of exercise on human health. Here, we mapped the genome-wide positions and activities of enhancers in skeletal muscle biopsies collected from young sedentary men before and after an endurance exercise program. We identified profound remodeling of enhancer activity after training, with a large subset of the remodeled enhancers located in the proximity of genes transcriptionally regulated after exercise. We found an enrichment of disease-associated genetic variants within this enhancer subset, which supports the view that enhancers regulated by exercise training in the skeletal muscle target genes that control whole-body function. Our data provide evidence of a functional link between epigenetic rewiring after exercise training and the modulation of disease risk in humans.
