In 2022, Jeffrey R. Millman, PhD and collaborators had their work titled “A Predictive Oxygen Durability Model to Analyze Oxygen Consumption of Insulin Producing Cells Encapsulated Within a Highly Oxygenated Hydrogel,” published in “Advanced Materials Technologies.” In the study, they compare model estimations and experimental results, demonstrating that application of this mathematical model on predictive […]
In 2022, Natalia Genere, MD was awarded funding of $5,000 through the ICTS Just-In-Time Core Usage Funding Program for her project titled, “Diagnostic Evaluation and Follow-up of Adrenal Incidentalomas.” We are so appreciative of the funding from the ICTS Just in Time Grants Program. We are using this funding to develop a comprehensive radiographic registry of adrenal […]
On December 19, Alexis M. McKee, MD, CDCES, published an article on “EndocrineWeb,” titled “Is Continuous Glucose Monitoring for You?” The first continuous glucose monitor (CGM) came to existence in the early 2000s. The prior method of blood sugar testing at the time was fingerstick glucose reading. “By 2016, the accuracy of CGM sensors was so […]
On December 16, Jeremiah Stitham, MD, PhD and colleagues, had their research titled, “Evaluation of mTORC1 signaling in mouse atherosclerotic macrophages by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence,” published in “STAR Protocols.” The study provides a “detailed protocol for the evaluation of diet-induced mTORC1 signaling in plaque macrophages in atherosclerosis-prone apolipoprotein E (ApoE) knockout (KO) mice.” By encompassing […]
On September 13, 2022, Clair Crewe, PhD and colleagues had their work titled “Adipocyte mesenchymal transition contributes to mammary tumor progression,” published in “Cell Reports.” “Obesity is associated with increased cancer incidence and progression.” There is a need for more research in understanding the mechanistic relationship between adiposity and cancer. In the study, Crewe and […]
In October, Janet B. McGill, MD, MA, FACP, and collaborators had their work published in “Endocrine Practice,” titled “American Association of Clinical Endocrinology Clinical Practice Guideline: Developing a Diabetes Mellitus Comprehensive Care Plan—2022 Update.” Their objective was “to provide updated and new evidence-based recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes mellitus to clinicians, […]
As of December, the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism & Lipid Research now offers transgender and general endocrinology patient care services in Hazelwood, at Washington University School of Medicine’s new clinic. The Multispecialty Center and Eye Center is located at 1 Village Square Shopping Center, Suite 1. Not only does the clinic offer endocrinology care, but […]
On June 23, Jing Hughes, MD, PhD and collaborator had their work titled “Cilia Action in Islets: Lessons From Mouse Models” published in “Frontiers in Endocrinology.” Primary cilia are rod-like sensors that “exist on all major islet endocrine cell types and transduce a variety of external cues, while dysregulation of cilia function contributes to the […]
On May 1, Anne Carol Goldberg, MD, FACP, FAHA, FNLA and colleagues had their research titled “Efficacy and safety of bempedoic acid in patients not receiving statins in phase 3 clinical trials,” published in the “Journal of Clinical Lipidology.” “Despite the high incidence of patients with statin tolerance problems, randomized evaluations of nonstatin oral treatment […]
On November 18, Alexis M. McKee, MD, CDCES had her article titled “What is Automated Insulin Delivery,” published on “EndocrineWeb.” Automated insulin delivery (AID) delivers insulin through a pump that communicates with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). Also known as a hybrid closed hoop system or an artificial pancreas device system. In the article, McKee […]
