Tetraspanin‐7 regulation of Cav1.2 calcium channels controls pancreatic β‐cell insulin secretion
The Journal of Physiology Virtual Journal Club Paper to be discussed: Tetraspanin‐7 regulation of L‐type voltage‐dependent calcium channels controls pancreatic β‐cell insulin secretion (Dickerson MT, Dadi PK, Butterworth RB, Nakhe AY, Graff SM, Zaborska KE, Schaub CM, Jacobson DA) The Journal of Physiology; DOI: 10.1113/JP279941 In this Virtual Journal Club, host Nordine Helassa discussed the manuscript with authors Matt Dickerson, Arya Nakhe and David Jacobson (Vanderbilt University, US). The host introduced the selected paper and his reasons for selecting it, before Matt and Arya explained the rationale, methodology and major findings of the study. The panel then discussed the implications of their findings in the context of insulin secretion and how it might impact the prevention of hyperglycaemia and maintenance of blood glucose homeostasis. Peying Fong, a Senior Editor on the Editorial Board of The Journal of Physiology, advised on the key factors that made this study to the publishable standards of the Journal. Questions were submitted by the audience throughout the session and were subsequently answered and discussed by the panel. There was a 30-minute networking session immediately after the Virtual Journal Club meeting where attendees took the opportunity to meet and reflect on the conversations had during the meeting. Host: Nordine Helassa, University of Liverpool, UK Panellists: David Jacobson, Vanderbilt University, US (Author) Matthew Dickerson, Vanderbilt University, US (Author) Arya Nakhe, Vanderbilt University, US (Author) Peying Fong, Kansas State University, US (Editor)
