EB2019 Symposia and Featured Topics – Orlando, Florida
April 6-10, 2019
Programming for the Experimental Biology 2019 meeting in Orlando is already
underway and will be finishing up this April during the EB meeting in San Diego.
So, get thinking and submit your ideas for EB2019 Symposia and Featured Topics
to the Cell Section programming committee. APS is particularly interested in
Featured Topic sessions for EB2019. These FT sessions involve speakers chosen
from submitted abstracts and possibly one invited speaker.
This is your chance to plan and organize a session that you think is of interest to
Cell Section members. Just send your initial plan as soon as you can to either Dan
Halm (dan.halm@wright.edu) or Roger Worrell (roger.worrell@uc.edu) and we’ll
help you submit a finished proposal.

APS/Springer book - ‘Ion Channels and Transporters of Epithelia in Health and Disease’
A 2nd Edition! Springer-Verlag has recently approved a new edition of book that was edited by
Kirk L. Hamilton and Daniel C. Devor. The original book has surpassed all expectations and
is now the most successful APS book based on chapter downloads with over 26,000
chapters downloaded. The book is still averaging over ~350 chapters downloaded
per month. Neil Bradbury’s Chapter 24 entitled ‘CFTR and Cystic Fibrosis: A Need for
Personalized Medicine’ leads the authors’ ‘friendly’ downloaded chapter competition!
The 2nd Edition of the book is a ‘big step’ up in terms in the scope and ion
channels and transporters covered. The plan is to have a 3-volume book
series as the 2nd Edition! We have been very fortunate in recruiting many
more internationally renown scientists from 14 countries and nearly every
continent. The number of chapters have increased from 29 to 65
chapters! We are very excited to know that we all are creating a book
which will provide the most detailed and up-to-date coverage of ion
channels and transporters of epithelia!
We want to thank Dee Silverthorn, who is the Chair of the APS Book
Committee, for her continued support and commitment to our vision!

Cell Section Trainee Endowment Fund needs your help!
Through the generosity of our membership, we are on track to increase
our trainee endowment fund from $8,208.00 at the end of 2016 to nearly
$18,000 by the end of this year. I want this momentum to continue so I
will be contacting members with long-time section affiliation to start a
second “dollar-for-dollar matching funds” campaign in early 2018. My
hope is that with more long-time section member participation we can
exponentially increase everyone’s donation.
If you ever considered donating to the Trainee Endowment Fund in the
past but felt “my $20.00 donation won't make any difference!", then
this is the time to donate. A $20.00 donation could be multiplied 10-20 fold
and become $200.00 - $400.00 to the endowment fund.
If you want to become a sustaining member of the "matching funds
challenge", please contact me (kenneth.gagnon@louisville.edu).

Trainee Endowment Fund
The Cell and Molecular Physiology Section (Cell Section) has established an
endowment fund to subsidize Cell Section dinner tickets for trainees and provide
travel grants for trainees to present their research at national and international
scientific meetings. APS will provide up to $25,000 in matching funds to this
endowment. To that end, the Steering Committee is offering “thank-you gifts” for
different donation levels. New gifts are currently under consideration, so please check
the website often, and please consider donating today! *

News from Kelly Anne Hyndman of the Career Opportunities in Physiology Committee. Their
Committee supports a number of APS programs to foster the career development of
physiologists of all ages. Below are a number of items for noting!
EB Symposium: “Hallmarks of and ground rules for productive collaborations in science"
Join us Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at 7:00am-8:00am in the San Diego Convention Center,
Room 25B for a light breakfast and “nuts and bolts” series of discussions on
collaborations. Specific questions panelists will discuss include: How do I establish and
maintain a successful collaboration?; What does communication and data sharing look like in a
productive collaboration?; What does a ‘typical’ collaboration look like and entail?; How are
intellectual property rights and authorship managed across collaborations? Each day will
feature different speakers and their perspectives on these topics. Visit http://www.the-
aps.org/collaborations-in-science for more information.
Experimental Biology Undergraduate Orientation and Poster Sessions
Open to all undergraduate students attending EB, the Undergraduate Orientation session
serves as a primer to help the students get the most out of their EB experience, and
includes award presentations for various APS-sponsored undergraduate research
programs. This will be held at the Marriot Marquis & Marina (room TBA) from 3:30-
5:30pm on Saturday, April 21. There is also a special poster session for undergraduate
students at EB, held from 4:00-5:30pm (undergrad presenters must arrive by 3:00pm to
hang posters) on Sunday April 22 in the San Diego Convention Center, Sails Pavilion –
please stop by and meet the next generation of physiologists!
Positively Influence a Future Physiologist at EB 2018
Volunteer APS member hosts (PIs, postdocs or graduate students) are needed to guide
local high school students and teachers around the EB exhibits and posters on Monday,
April 23, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Each year, students say this is their favorite part of the
teacher-student workshop day. Follow the link:

Editor-in-Chief’s Column, Spring 2018
I hope all CaMPS members are enjoying the new style webpages of the APS Journals,
now hosted on the online platform Atypon. This AJP-Cell Physiology update includes
news of Journal activities at EB2018 and highlights ongoing Calls for Papers and some
of the many recent papers of interest.
. AJP-Cell Physiology Activities at EB2018. AJP-Cell Physiology will co-sponsor with
CaMPS the Symposium, on the topic of “Organoids: Modelling Cell Physiology and
Disease in 3D”, chaired by Dr. Neil Bradbury and Dr. Nadia Ameen, to be held at
1:30pm on Saturday 22nd April in Convention Center, Room 28A. This topic is
associated with an ongoing Call for Papers “Advanced Cell Culture: Organoids in Cell
Physiology”. The Paper of the Year award for 2017 will be announced at the start of Josephine C.
this Symposium. There will also be an APS Editors’ Event at the APS Main Exhibit Adams Editor-
Booth (booth #1630) – time and date to be announced. in-Chief
Other current Calls for Papers include:
Correlating Muscle Function with Muscle Health Markers
Endoplasmic Reticulum Functions in Cell Physiology and Disease
Mitophagy, Autophagy and Cell Death.
Submissions are also welcome in all areas of Cell Physiology. Advantages of publishing in AJP-Cell
Physiology include rapid and fair peer-review (in 2017, 71% of submissions received peer-review with
a mean time to first decision of 17 days), expert in-house editing and production of accepted
manuscripts, and, upon publication, excellent visibility of your paper within APS and the worldwide
Cell Physiology community. In 2017, three papers were featured in APS press releases and ten papers
were featured in APSselect
Young researchers who are sole first authors have the additional opportunity to be considered for
our “Paper of the Year” award. By publishing in AJP-Cell Physiology, you will also support the activities
of APS as a not-for-profit publisher: proceeds from the Journals are returned to the community in the
form of travel bursaries, educational awards, and support of conferences, amongst other activities
Recent Papers of Interest. AJP-Cell Physiology has begun an occasional series of Landmark Reviews
written by pioneers and providing perspectives on the development of their respective fields. The first
Review has been contributed by Dr. Mordecai P. Blaustein, “The pump, the exchanger, and the
holyspirit: origins and 40-year evolution of ideas about the ouabain-Na+ pump endocrine system”,
published in January 2018 in Am J Physiol Cell Physiol. 314(1):C3-C26. The March issue of AJP-Cell
Physiology includes elegant cell imaging from the Gramolini laboratory on “Three-dimensional imaging
reveals endo(sarco)plasmic reticulum-containing invaginations within the nucleoplasm of muscle” (Lee
et al, 2018, 314 (3), C257-C267 https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpcell.00141.2017). With regard to
regulatory activities of non-coding RNA, the paper “Acute and chronic resistance training
downregulates select LINE-1 retrotransposon activity markers in human skeletal muscle” from the
Roberts laboratory (Romero et al, 2018, 314 (3), C379-C388,
https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpcell.00192.2017) has been highly accessed. See p. 12 for additional info.

YOUR SECTION NEEDS YOU
Becoming a representative on APS Committees really helps gives CaMPS a voice
and to influence society decisions. However, as a section we are not well
represented. We need more of our section (YES. YOU!) to apply for Committees.
There are lots of Committees that you could consider joining. Some do have a
requirement for prior experience but many do not. Some Committees are very
competitive, some are less so. Some have TRAINEE positions available. But there
will definitely be at least ONE that YOU could apply for. All Committees require
you to go through the nomination process and be supported by another member
of APS. As your representative on Committee on Committees, I can help you
identify positions that might suit you, advise on how you make the best application
and help guide you through the process. Lets get ready for the next application
round in January 2019. You can nominate yourself by completing the Candidate
form and having a colleague complete an Endorsement form. This is a simple
process The forms are available at:
http://www.the-aps.org/mm/hp/Audiences/APS-Committees/nominations
Becoming a Committee member is great for your CV, it will enhance your skill set,
improve your LEADERSHIP SKILLS and aid CAREER PROGRESSION.
Questions concerning the nomination process can be directed to Scarletta
Whitsett, Executive Assistant, at swhitsett@the-aps.
Let’s get ready for the next application round!
Your time is NOW!
