Dr. Zhou will serve as Communicating PI on this project which delineate a novel regulatory loop of small RNA molecules, microRNA, that can impose regulation on gene expression, on B cells that are found in adipose tissue during obesity. The collaborative team will test the idea that this circuit of regulation between microRNA and B cells in fat tissue is a major mechanism that controls the damaging inflammation. We postulate that understanding this process will lead to important therapeutic opportunities to treat metabolic disease that result from obesity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-1817-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1817-0-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_widget_sp_image widget_sp_image panel-first-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"200\" alt=\"Beiyan Zhou, Ph.D.\" class=\"attachment-full\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/immunology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2017\/01\/Zhou_Beiyan_spotlight.jpg 350w, https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/immunology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2017\/01\/Zhou_Beiyan_spotlight-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" src=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/immunology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2017\/01\/Zhou_Beiyan_spotlight.jpg\" \/><\/div><div id=\"panel-1817-0-1-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_widget_sp_image widget_sp_image panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"200\" alt=\"Dr. Anthony Vella\" class=\"attachment-full\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/immunology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2015\/02\/vella_350x200.jpg 350w, https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/immunology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2015\/02\/vella_350x200-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" src=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/immunology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2015\/02\/vella_350x200.jpg\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to Dr. Beiyan Zhou and Dr. Anthony Vella on the award of their new R01 through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases entitled, \u201cMiR-150 regulated adipose tissue B cells in obesity\u201d.
