S2 Basic research 1
Islet biology
Chair(s): In-Kyu Lee, Miriam Cnop
Friday 20 October, 09:00~10:40
Room 2 (3F)
-
The Islets of Langerhans, commonly known as "islets," are small clusters of cells within the pancreas. They play a critical role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. This session consists of a carefully chosen collection of lectures that aim to clarify the obscure mechanisms behind the function of islets - presenting new perspectives on RNA processing, autophagy modulation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and ciliary control.

S9 Basic research 2
Puzzling the last piece of liver diseases
Chair(s): Jongsoon Lee, Hail Kim
Saturday 21 October, 09:00~10:40
Room 2 (3F)
-
The liver is a metabolic hub, contributing to metabolic diseases. Although both nonalcoholic and alcoholic fatty liver diseases have been extensively investigated, there are still several missing pieces. For instance, the evolution of NAFLD into hepatocellular carcinoma remains a puzzle. Similarly, is there a sex disparity in NAFLD? Is there a simple method to predict patients with NASH? This session will feature four presenters who are prepared to clarify these questions.
