rican Physiological Society program includes 16 societal or distinguished lectures and an InFocus session on physiology and global health, physiology as the basis of ecosystem health, and physiology and lifestyle. Divided among eight tracks, other sessions include: common themes in diverse genetic disorders; hormones and angiogenesis; new insights into the urine concentrating mechanism; mechanisms of metabolic depression; gut hormones in the regulation of body weight and metabolism; energy balance, cancer, and diabetes; skeletal muscle mitochondrial function and dysfunction with age; therapeutic promise for cardiovascular disease; genomic and proteomics in colon cancer; mechanism and novel treatments for IBS and chronic constipation; and the role of oxytocin and vasopressin in clinical disorders. Additional symposia include the antiquity of exercise, exercise physiology and the exercise prescription for health; neuronal plasticity in health and disease; and reverse engineering toward the goal of vessel regeneration.

The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program highlights cutting edge research in ASBMB-related fields, drawing attention to the expanding field of RNA biology and how single molecule-, chemistry- and systems-drive approaches are changing the ways that biological problems are studied and solved. Other symposia topics include DNA replication, repair, and recombination response; aspects of RNA-mediated gene expression and regulation; the emerging non-coding RNA world; molecular structure and dynamics; new understanding of metabolic control mechanisms in cancer, diabetes, and neurodegeneration; signal transduction and post-translational modifications in cancer, microbial pathogenesis and progeria; therapeutic targeting of signaling pathways in human diseases; new strategies for imaging protein localization and dynamics; enzymes as drug targets; energetics (laws governing the physical or mechanical) and design; chemical probe
