The Society for Redox Biology and Medicine's 26th Annual Conference (SfRBM 2019) has been held successfully on November 20-23, 2019, in Las Vegas, NV, USA, at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

SfRBM 2019 has featured four days of scientific communications, including morning plenary lectures, afternoon parallel thematic sessions, and early evening poster presentations.

 

PLENARY SESSIONS
9:30 am - 12:00 pm | Thursday, Friday, Saturday

Plenary sessions, which were held during each morning of the Annual Conference, were comprised of speakers who addressed common or closely related topics, and included the following:

  • Intracellular Metal Trafficking: Consequences for Redox Enzyme (alternative) Activities

  • Oxy-Inflammation, Redox Signaling and Autophagy: Crosstalk in Health and Disease

  • Beyond the Cell: Oxidation of the Extracellular Matrix in Development, Disease and Treatment

  • Nrf n’ Turf: Nrf2 Redox Signaling and Strategies to Drug Cancer Cell Metabolism

  • Redox Signaling in Exercise Adaptation

Among the plenary sessions, the one entitled “Oxy-Inflammation, Redox Signaling and Autophagy: Crosstalk in Health and Disease” was organized by Prof. Saverio Francesco Retta, from the University of Torino, Italy, and featured four plenary lectures, as follow:

PLENARY SESSION 2
 

9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Oxy-Inflammation, Redox Signaling and Autophagy: Crosstalk in Health and Disease
Chairs: Saverio Francesco Retta, Ph.D., University of Turin, Italy, and Jianhua Zhang, Ph.D., University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA

This session aims at highlighting current knowledge of the crosstalk between redox signaling and autophagy, including mitophagy, in homeostasis and diseases. Indeed, a growing body of evidence suggests that a tight interconnection between altered autophagy and abnormal redox signaling is integral to the development of major human diseases associated with oxidative stress and inflammation, including neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases and cancer. A comprehensive understanding of the complex molecular crosstalk between redox signaling and autophagy should therefore enable the development of innovative combination therapies for the prevention and treatment of complex human diseases. In particular, this session will focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying the interplay between mitochondria, redox signaling and autophagy in cellular responses to oxidative stress and inflammation and the emerging potential and persisting obstacles for therapeutic interventions.

9:30 am - 10:00 am
Autophagy, Mitochondria and Oxidative Stress: Crosstalk and Redox Signaling
