11.07.2018

The MUG’s PhD students at the Department of Biochemistry: Magdalena Zabielska (working as an assistant at the Department of Physiology), Paulina Mierzejewska, Patrycja Jabłońska, Alicja Bulińska, and Marta Tomczyk actively participated in the Purines 2018 conference, which took place in Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) on 19-22 June, 2018.

Young scientists presented the following topics:

• „Cardiac mitochondria function and extracellular vascular nucleotide metabolism in genetic model of hyperlipidemia. Protective effects of adenosine deaminase inhibition on tumor development and metastases” (Alicja Bulińska)
• „Inhibition of AMP Deaminase is Cardioprotective in Acute Oxygen Deprivation” (Magdalena Zabielska)
• „An altered nucleotide metabolism as a novel mechanism leading to Huntington disease related cardiomyopathy” (Marta Tomczyk)
• „Nucleotide and adenosine converting ecto-enzyme pattern in endothelial inflammation. The extracellular NAD+ and NMN metabolism on the surface of human aortic valves” (Patrycja Jabłońska)
• „The effect of changes in the CD73 activity on the aortic valve and endothelium function in mice. Deletion of CD73 leads to the shifts of NAD metabolism” (Paulina Żukowska).

It is worth mentioning that Paulina Mierzejewska’s poster has been distinguished among other posters.
