Main symposia

S11 Beta cell identity :
Beta cell heterogeneity and dedifferentiation
13:20~15:00 / Friday 12 October
Emerald hall B
Chairman: Kwang-Won Kim, Yutaka Seino
Overview

Organizers: Shin Ae Kang, Hail Kim

This islet biology session is entitled 'beta cell identity'. Beta cell death has been thought as the major mechanism for beta cell failure. However, recent studies indicate that beta cell dedifferentiation can result in the loss of functional beta cell mass and thereby can alter glucose homeostasis. Beta cell dedifferentiation begins with the loss of mature beta cell identity. In this session, speakers will discuss how does beta cell lose its mature identity and dedifferentiation progress. This session will broaden out understanding about the mature beta cell identity.

S12 Skeletal muscle energy metabolism :
Skeletal muscle energy metabolism
16:20~18:00 / Friday 12 October
Emerald hall A
Chairman: Joong Yeol Park, Zoltan P. Arany
Overview

Organizers: Hye Soon Kim, Dae Ho Lee

This translational session entitled 'skeletal muscle energy metabolism' was organized to provide pathophysiologic and therapeutic implications of diabetes and insulin resistant conditions to both physicians and basic researchers. Focusing on skeletal muscle among insulin-sensitive tissues, four excellent speakers will present and discuss about exercise type-dependent physiology, muscle thermogenesis and energy metabolism, glucose metabolism based on human clamp study, and skeletal muscle hypertrophy as a therapeutic strategy. This session will be very helpful for in-depth understating of skeletal muscle energy metabolism in both physiologic and therapeutic aspects.
