In this conversation, Professor Alex Tups discusses his extensive research on metabolic regulation, focusing on the roles of leptin and insulin in the brain. He shares insights into the discovery of butane, a compound found in the Dahlia flower, and its potential to improve blood sugar regulation and combat neuroinflammation. The discussion highlights the importance of diet, gut health, and the synergistic effects of flavonoids in promoting overall well-being. Professor Tups emphasizes the need for further research and clinical trials to validate the benefits of his findings. In this conversation, Alexander Tups and Lisa Tamati discuss the journey of research from the lab to market, focusing on the supplement Dahlia 4 and its potential impact on health, particularly in relation to metabolic dysregulation and neuroinflammation. They explore the importance of consumer awareness regarding supplements, the role of circadian rhythms in health, and the need for proactive health measures. The discussion emphasizes the unique mechanism of Dahlia 4 in targeting brain inflammation and its implications for conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Takeaways: Leptin and insulin play crucial roles in metabolic regulation. Neuroinflammation is a key factor in insulin resistance. Dahlia4 is a supplement derived from the Dahlia flower. Flavonoids can have synergistic effects on health. Diet and gut health significantly impact overall well-being. Research shows potential for reversing pre-diabetes. Oral hygiene is linked to brain health. Clinical trials are ongoing for Dahlia 4's effectiveness. The brain is a master organ in regulating metabolism. Natural compounds can have varying effects on health. The importance of feedback from users to improve health products. Research must translate into real-world applications for maximum impact. Basic research is crucial for developing new drugs and supplements. Supplements can be brought to market faster than traditional drugs. Consumer awareness is key in choosing effective supplements. Metabolic dysregulation is a growing concern for aging populations. Neuroinflammation may be addressed with targeted supplements. Regular eating patterns can support circadian rhythms and metabolic health. Dahlia4 targets brain inflammation, offering a unique approach.

He earned a Diploma in Biology at the latter institution, focusing on Animal Physiology, Genetics, and Developmental Biology. He further advanced his education through a Marie Curie and Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds Scholarship, undertaking a Ph.D. at the Rowett Research Institute, one of the UK's leading nutrition research centres and the Philipps University of Marburg. In 2005 he graduated with "summa cum laude (highest distinction) " for his research on the neuroendocrine mechanism that regulates seasonal body weight. Following his Ph.D., Alexander Tups served as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Otago from 2006-2008. In recognition of his potential, he received a prestigious junior group leader grant in nutrition research from the German Ministry of Education and Research in 2007, amounting to €1,500,000. This grant allowed him to establish an independent research group called 'neuronal nutrition physiology' at the Philipps University of Marburg, where he explored the impact of nutrient sensing in the brain on the regulation of body weight and glucose homeostasis as one of the youngest independent group leaders in Germany. From 2012-2014 in addition to his group leader role he was Head of Department for Animal Physiology at this institution before he was appointed at the University of Otago in 2014 in Physiology.   Throughout his career, Alex Tups has contributed significantly to his field, publishing 48 peer reviewed research papers, the vast majority as lead author. His research has contributed to our understanding of how the brain controls body weight and blood sugar levels. His work has been internationally recognized with notable awards, such as the Michael Harbuz Price in neuroendocrine research in the UK in 2009, the Ernst and Berta Sharrer Award in Germany in 2014, the Commercialisation Researcher Award at Otago University in 2023 and the Research Excellence Price by the Physiological Society of New Zealand in 2023. Alexander reviews research for leading international journals and grant agencies including for Harvard University, the British Welcome Trust and the French and German National Research Agencies. He has advised the city council of his home town, Dunedin, on the impact of artificial lighting on human Health supported by his research which contributed to the installation of modern warm street lighting in Dunedin.   His research has been funded by Return on Science, Otago Innovation, the Royal Society of Marsden Fund, the Health Research Council, the German Ministry of Research and the German Research Foundation.        Personalised Health Optimisation Consulting with Lisa Tamati Lisa offers solution focused coaching sessions to help you find the right answers to your challenges.

Link from the show:* On a Knife Edge: How Germany Lost the First World War* Leave a review on iTunesAbout my guest:I was always passionate about history. My elementary school teacher told my parents: "He will study history" - and she was right! I studied Modern and Medieval history, Italian and German literature at the Heinrich Heine Universität Duesseldorf and the Universita degli Studi di Napoli. I wrote my PhD thesis on the Prussian Minister of War and German Chief of Staff, General Erich v. Falkenhayn (1861-1922), one of Imperial Germany's key protagonists during the First World War. The PhD was funded by the Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation and my thesis was supervised by Wolfgang J. Mommsen.  After finishing my PhD and after a year as councellor in the German parliament (Deutscher Bundestag) I got funding for a major research project on international relations before 1914. The project run in close cooperation with Wolfgang Mommsen and was granted by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, Cologne. The outcome was a large monograph entitled "The Triple Alliance and European Great Power Politics, 1881-1915" and several articles. I finished the project as a Feodor-Lynen scholar (a two years grant by the Alexander-von-Humboldt-Foundation) in Vienna, cooperating with Prof. Helmut Rumpler. I was awarded my "Habilitation" at the Heinrich-Heine-Universität Duesseldorf in 1999 and got there in 2003 a honorary professorship.I taught from 1999 to 2002 at the University of Duesseldorf. At the same time I won another major research grant by the Fritz-Thyssen-Foundation for research on Wilhelm II as Supreme Warlord during the First World War. The result - a 1100 pages edition of new sources - was published in 2005 by the Historical Commission of the Bavarian Academy of Science. I was offered in August 2002 a DAAD Professorship of Modern German History at Emory University in Atlanta which I gladly accepted. Among other things I organised a large international conference in 2004 on the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 which was opened by President Jimmy Carter.I left Atlanta in summer 2006 after accepting my current position at the University of Leeds. I organized several conferences in Leeds and created and am responsible for our Master program in "War and Strategy" which is running since 2016.  Get full access to Dispatches from the War Room at dispatchesfromthewarroom.substack.com/subscribe

Hopfige Vielfalt & handfeste Kulinarik: Unterwegs in der Altstadt. Die Folge wird präsentiert von Düsseldorf Tourismus. Düsseldorf. Woran denkt ihr da? An Fortuna 1895 vielleicht. An Punk und "Die Toten Hosen". Und an den längsten Tresen der Welt, an dem das Altbier in Strömen aus den Zapfhähnen fließt. Das Alt und Düsseldorf, sie sind unzertrennlich. Dennoch hat sich in den letzten Jahren auch am Rhein eine Craftbeer-Kultur formiert, die Bierstile wie Pale Ale, IPA oder Erdbeer Ales auf das Biermenü bringt. Junge Brauereien wie Olbermann oder Beer Kong stärken die Biervielfalt in Düsseldorf. In der Holy Craft Beer Bar am Lieferplätzchen hat die Craftbeerszene eine Heimat gefunden. Das ist eine spannende Entwicklung. Findet auch Düsseldorf Tourismus. Dort hat man dem Thema eine eigene Stadtführung gewidmet: "Craftbeer & Streetfood". Sie wandelt lässig auf traditionsreichen Spuren, findet das Neue im Alten, spielt mit dem urban-hippen Begriff "Streetfood" und serviert augenzwinkernd Kult im Brötchen. Woher wir das wissen? Weil wir die Tour begleitet und dabei mit einigen Playern der Düsseldorfer Bier- und Altstadtszene gesprochen haben. In dieser Podcastfolge hört ihr u.a.: - Warum Jan Olbermann eigentlich kein Altbier brauen wollte – und es trotzdem tut - Worin für Stadtführer Michael Plettke die Magie des Schweinebrötchens liegt - Wie Fußballspieler Marinko "Mile" Miletic zum Kult-Imbisswirt wurde - Warum Dirk Rouenhoff im "Zum Schlüssel" auch ein Pale Ale braut - Wie viele Striche auf einen Deckel passen - Wie Sebastian Knepper und Thorsten Kulmann in ihrem Holy Craft Sauerbier und andere Bierspezialitäten nach Düsseldorf holen – und warum sie erst arbeitslos und Single werden mussten, um das zu tun - Welche Superbier-Kombo sich hinter "Altbier United" verbirgt AKTION: HHopcast wird 5 Schreibt uns zum 5.

Düsseldorf ohne Altbier? Unvorstellbar. Aber wie kommt das eigentlich? Und ist Altbier eigentlich auch Craft Beer? City Guide Michael Plettke und Uerige-Chef Michael Schnitzler über das Alt, die Stadt & die Brauhauskultur. Unsere Gäste in dieser Folge: Düsseldorf-Stadtführer Michael Plettke & Uerige-Chef Michael Schnitzler Zwei Michaels, eine Liebe. Die zum Bier. Obwohl, eigentlich sind es zwei Lieben, denn das Herz beider Männer schlägt auch für ihre Stadt, für Duesseldorf. Michael Plettke ist geborene Duesseldorfer, Stadtführer und hat die Brauhauskultur seiner Stadt immer geliebt. Er hat sich für seinen Job eine Menge Bierwissen angelesen und er schaut gerne über den Glasrand hinaus. Irgendwann realisierte er: Es gibt mehr als Altbier. Auch spannend, dachte er sich, bewarb sich um die Führung der Tour “Craftbeer & Streetfood” und erweiterte sein Bierwissen enorm. Für uns ist er damit der perfekte Ansprechpartner und Interviewgast für diese Folge. Michael Schnitzler ist Inhaber vom “Uerige” und ausgebildeter Braumeister. Die Hausbrauerei in der Berger Straße ist eine Institution in Düsseldorf, sein Altbier zeichnet sich durch den gezielten Einsatz von Bitterhopfen aus, der für ein markantes Finish sorgt. Während das Altbier im Brauhaus “Zum Schlüssel” eher über den Malzkörper kommt, geht es im Uerige eher hopfig zu. Spannend, wir lernen: Altbier ist nicht gleich Altbier. “Das ist so, und das ist auch gut so”, sagt Michael Schnitzler in diesem Podcast. Wir haben ihm einige Insights entlocken können über: - Die Kultur der Hausbrauereien in der Altstadt. Der Mann ist quasi im Uerige groß geworden, als Teenager hat er mühsam die Kupferkessel schrubben müssen. - Wir erfahren, was ein gutes Altbier ausmacht, warum Altbier aus Sicht beider Michaels auch Craft Beer ist. - Wir lernen mehr über den Köbes. So wird der Kellner in Düsseldorf genannt. Er hat so seine Eigenheiten und gehört zur Hausbrauerei dazu. Früher haben die Köbesse sogar tagsüber in Brauerei mitgearbeitet. - In diesem Podcast erfahrt ihr, was das Besondere an der Düsseldorfer Alt- und Brauhauskultur ist, warum das Alt zur Stadt gehört wie die Pommes zur Currywurst. - Außerdem gibt es einen Deep Dive in die Altbier-Historie mit Markus Raupach, Deutsche Bierakademie NOTIZ: Dieser Podcast ist Teil eines zweiteiligen Podcast-Specials über Altbier, Craft Beer & die Brauhauskultur in Duesseldorf. Dieses Special ist mit freundlicher Unterstützung von Düsseldorf Tourismus entstanden. Die nächste Folge erscheint am Freitag, dem 23.12.2022. Die nächste REGULÄRE HHopcast-Folge erscheint am Freitag, 30.12.22, am letzten Freitag im Monat.

Despite this, antitrust enforcers have made clear that they have no intention to ease up enforcement efforts and, in fact, have indicated a renewed commitment to aggressive enforcement – as illustrated by a recent spike in dawn raids, including of private homes, in Europe and several initiatives by the Biden Administration in the US. In this latest episode of our Essential Antitrust podcast our host Jenn Mellott is joined by Ramya Arnold, senior associate in London, Dominic Divivier, senior associate in Duesseldorf, and Angela Landry, counsel in Washington DC and Silicon Valley, to discuss what enforcers in Europe and the US are focused on in their pursuits.

This week's episode features special Guest Host Mercedes Carnethon, as she interviews author Miriam Cortese-Krott and Associate Editor Charles Lowenstein as they discuss the article "Red Blood Cell and Endothelial eNOS Independently Regulate Circulating Nitric Oxide Metabolites and Blood Pressure." Dr. Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast, summary, and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. We're your co-host I'm Dr. Carolyn Lam, associate editor from The National Heart Center in Duke National University of Singapore. Dr. Greg Hundley: And I'm Dr. Greg Hundley, associate editor, director of the Pauley Heart Center at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Greg, today's feature paper is one of those really, really landmark papers that really advance our understanding of Nitric oxide signaling. And it's about red blood cell and Endothelial eNOS, and how they independently regulate circulating nitric oxide, metabolites, and blood pressure. A real, real must, but let's go on and look at the other papers in this issue first. Greg, you want to go first? Dr. Greg Hundley: You bet, Carolyn. Better grab a cup of coffee. And my first paper is from professor Nathan Mewton from Hôpital Louis Pradel Hospices Civils de Lyon. Carolyn, these authors hypothesized that Colchicine a potent anti-inflammatory agent may reduce infarct size in left ventricular remodeling at the acute phase of STEMI. And so to address this hypothesis, they performed a double-blind multi-center trial and randomly assigned patients admitted for a first episode of STEMI referred for primary PTCA to receive oral Colchicine two-milligram loading dose followed by 0.5 milligrams twice a day, or matching placebo from admission to day five and the primary efficacy outcome was infarct size determined by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging at five days. And the relative left ventricular end-diastolic volume change at three months and infarct size at three months was also assessed by cardiac MRI. And these were secondary outcomes. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Nice. Okay. So what were the results? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. So 192 patients were enrolled. 101 in the Colchicine group and 91 in the controls. And as a result of this trial, the oral administration of high dose Colchicine at the time of Reperfusion. And for five days thereafter did not reduce infarct size assessed by cardiac MRI. And so Carolyn, the clinical implications of these results suggest that other studies exploring the timing, pharma kinetics, and dose-response of Colchicine, as well as other anti-inflammatory agents are needed to identify an effective method to reduce infarct size and limit remodeling in this group of patients. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow, it's just such a rich field done with all this about Colchicine. Well, our next paper is a pre-specified sub-analysis of the randomized EAST-AFNET 4 Trial and the sub-analysis assess the effect of systematic early rhythm control therapy that is using Antiarrhythmic drugs or catheter ablation compared to usual care, which means allowing rhythm control therapy to improve symptoms in patients with heart failure. And this was defined in the sub-analysis as the presence of heart failure symptoms of New York Heart Association status two to three or a left ventricular ejection fraction of less than 50%. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Now, the authors led by Dr. Kirchhof at University Heart and Vascular Center UKE in Hamburg, Germany included 798 patients in this sub-analysis of whom 442 had HFpEF, 211 had heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction and 132 had HF-rEF over a median of 5.1 years of follow-up the composite primary outcome of cardiovascular death stroke or hospitalization for worsening heart failure, or for acute coronary syndrome occurred less often in patients randomized to early rhythm control therapy compared with patients randomized to usual care. And this was not altered by heart failure status with an interaction P-value of 0.6. Left ventricular function, symptoms, and quality of life improved equally in both treatment strategies. Dr. Greg Hundley: Wow, Carolyn, a lot of information here. So what can we take away from this? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Well, let's remember that this is a sub-analysis, albeit pre-specified of that randomized trial of the EAST-AFNET 4 Trial, but nonetheless, the data supports a treatment strategy of rhythm control therapy with Antiarrhythmic drugs or ablation within a year of diagnosing atrial fibrillation in patients with signs and symptoms of heart failure to reduce cardiovascular outcomes. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice, Carolyn. So, Carolyn, my next paper pertains to Alarmin Interleukin-1 Alpha, and it comes to us from Dr. Thimoteus Speer at Saarland University. So, Carolyn, Alarmin Interleukin-1 Alpha is expressed in a variety of cell types, promoting sterile systemic inflammation. And the aim of the present study was to examine the role of Alarmin Interleukin-1 Alpha in mediating inflammation in the setting of acute myocardial infarction and chronic kidney disease. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow, sterile inflammation. It's a really hot topic now. So what did these authors find? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. So we're going to call Alarmin Interleukin-1 Alpha. Let's just call it IL-1 Alpha and so increased IL-1 Alpha surface expression on monocytes from patients with acute myocardial infarction in patients with chronic kidney disease was found to be associated with cardiovascular events. Next, IL-1 Alphas itself served as an adhesion molecule, mediating leukocyte-endothelial adhesion, and finally, abrogation of IL-1 alpha prevented inflammation after myocardial infarction and ameliorated chronic kidney disease in Vivo. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow. So what does this mean clinically? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn, so perhaps targeted therapeutic inhibition of IL-1 Alpha might represent a novel anti-inflammatory treatment strategy in patients with myocardial infarction and in patients with chronic kidney disease. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Amazing. Thanks, Greg. Well, in today's issue, there's also an exchange of letters between doctors Lother and Filippatos on Finerenone and risk of hyperkalemia in CKD and type two diabetes. There's an On My Mind paper by Dr. Sattler on the single-cell immunology and cardiovascular METs in, do we know yet what we don't know? Dr. Greg Hundley: And then Carolyn, from the mailbag, a Research Letter from Professor Wehrens entitled “Atrial Specific LK Beta One Knockdown Represents a Novel Mouse Model of Atrial Cardiomyopathy with Spontaneous Atrial Fibrillation.” Well, Carolyn, how about we turn our attention to those red blood cells and endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Yeah. Can't wait. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Well, welcome to this episode of Circulation on the Run. Our podcasts, where we have an opportunity to speak with authors of important papers that are appearing in the journal of circulation. I'm pleased to introduce myself. My name is Mercedes Carnethon, professor and vice-chair of preventive medicine at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. And I'm pleased today to invite our guest author, Miriam Cortese-Krott, who is the faculty of the University of Duesseldorf, and a guest professor at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. And we have with us as well the other associate editor who handled the piece for circulation, Dr. Charlie Lowenstein from Johns Hopkins University. So welcome to each of you this morning. Miriam Cortese-krott: Thank you. Dr. Charles Lowenstein : Thanks for having me. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Well, thank you. I'm really excited to jump right into this piece, Miriam, can you tell me a little bit about the rationale for carrying out the study, why you pursued it? Professor Miriam Cortese-Krott: The reason is because when I was working as a post-doc, I had to isolate an enzyme from red blood cells, which is a very, very difficult. And if you know, this enzyme is endothelial nitric oxide synthase, which produce nitric oxide, and actually, the red blood cell is full of the worst enemy of nitric oxide, which is hemoglobin. So actually, when I was talking about my project, everybody was asking, "Why are you doing that?" And I was actually able to isolate the enzyme and look at activity and be sure that the enzyme was fine, but the function of this enzyme was absolutely unknown. Professor Miriam Cortese-Krott: And the only way to study proteins in red blood cells is to make modification in the bone marrow of the mice. So in the Erythroid cells, because you can not, of course, if there are cells without nucleus you don't have any chance to modify them in culture, something like that. So the only way was to generate mice with modification specifically in the red blood cells. And I had the chance to create, to generate red cell-specific eNOS knockout mice. And of course, as a control endothelial-specific eNOS knockout mice by using the Cre-loxP technology. And with this technology, I could really understand what's happening to the physiology of the mouse if you remove this protein from the red blood cells. And so this was the whole idea. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thank you so much. It was really exciting for me to read this piece. We are on opposite ends of the scientific inquiry spread as I'm an epidemiologist who does things at the population level, and you're identifying things at the basic science level. I thought the paper was extremely well-written and that encouraged people to dig in, even if you're unfamiliar, and in part that's because you provided such a great explanation of how your findings are used and how they're relevant to the process. Do you mind sharing a little bit about your findings and how you expect that they will be used by our scientific community? Professor Miriam Cortese-Krott: I think the main finding of this paper is that if you remove eNOS from the red blood cells if the mice are hypertensive, have hypertension, and this is completely something that you actually will not expect, as I told you that indeed red cells are full of the enemy of nitric oxide that remove it immediately. So you can ask yourself how it is possible. But I think the key finding here in this paper was that I also generated the opposite model. So I created the model a conditional eNOS Knockout model where you can decide in which tissue you want to have your enzyme. And of course, I applied for red blood cells. And what you see in this model is that you start from a global knockout mouse with hypertension, you reintroduce the eNOS just in the red blood cells, you have normal tension. So this means, this is the main finding. You have a switch in the red blood cells, which is the enzyme eNOS, which it's behaving in a completely different way clearly as compared to the vessel wall eNOS and still regulating blood pressure. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Well, thank you so much. I think this is the point at which I like to turn to the associate editor who handled the piece. Charlie, you and I don't get to talk as often given the diversity of work that we each pursue, but Charlie, tell me a little bit about what excited you about this piece? Dr. Charles Lowenstein: Thanks, Mercedes. So I love this piece. I thought Miriam, your article is so great. So a couple of thoughts. One is nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase are so important in biology and medicine, nitric oxide regulates blood pressure. It regulates neurotransmission. It regulates inflammation. And this is true, not only in the lab, looking at cells in mice, but also in the human. So genetic variance in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene or NOS3 are associated with risks for diseases like coronary artery disease. So eNOS is just so important in biology and medicine. And now some ancient history. When I was a cardiology fellow, about a hundred years ago, I worked in the lab that first purified nitric oxide synthase proteins, and we cloned two of the nitric oxide synthase genes that was in the lab of Dr. Solomon Snyder at Johns Hopkins back in the 1700s. Dr. Charles Lowenstein: So when we cloned the nitric oxide synthase genes, when we and others did, we made a huge mistake. We chose the names for these isoforms from the tissue where they were first isolated. So we called the brain nitric oxide synthase nNOS, because it's a neurons, macrophages MCnos we called it MCnos and in endothelial cells, we called it the nitric oxide synthase eNOS or endothelial NOS. But in the last 20 years, lots of investigators have found these isoforms are in other cells, not just the original cells at discovery. And so Miriam's question is just so important, which cells make endothelial NOS also called NOS3. That's the history. Now what Miriam has discovered is just so important. I was so fascinated by her work because as she just said, she made two amazing discoveries. One, red blood cells make endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Dr. Charles Lowenstein: And that's been a controversy for a long time. Some people have said, "Yes." Some, "No." And Miriam made the definitive answer. Yes, red blood cells make eNOS, and secondly, she has discovered so much about the physiology of ENO coming from red blood cells, the nitric oxide that's made inside red blood cells regulates blood pressure. What a magical, interesting, and important finding. That's a little bit about the history. Nitric oxide and NOS are important in medicine. The people who originally cloned and purified the nitric oxide synthase isoforms named them after the tissue in which they discovered. And Miriam has made a major discovery that it's not only endothelial cells that make nitric oxide but also red blood cells. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thank you so much for that summary. And I guess, I would have thought perhaps this was something of an Elixir of youth because if you've been working in this area for 200 plus years and Miriam, you started working on this as part of your dissertation work, you both have a lot of insight and background on where we've been and what the advances are. Miriam, can you tell me a little bit about how you'd like to see these findings used by the scientific community? Professor Miriam Cortese-Krott: I think I would like that the scientific community would use my mice first because I think, as Charles has said, it's not only red cells that express eNOS and it's not only endothelial cells. There are other cells producing eNOS and the function in the other cells is not known even in leukocytes, even when they have iNOS of course, but also have eNOS. So you can use my mice since it's a flux model. You can choose whatever you want, what cell you want, and then knock it in and knock it out. So this is one thing that I think the community could really do. I cannot do everything. So I'm happy to give my mice away. Professor Miriam Cortese-Krott: And the second thing is I would like too that in particular, the clinical community would see this link between Emathology and cardiovascular disease. This is something that was started, of course, there are studies looking at anemia and cardiovascular disease, but these studies have sometimes some issues I of course cannot speak as a basic scientist. I cannot speak about huge clinical trials, but I think this link exists and exists at the molecular level and it can be a target for pharmacological therapy. So I think this is what I would like to transport with this study to the clinical community and the basic science community. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Yeah. I think this is the point at which Charlie, I turn it to you because you really stand at the intersection of both of those communities. What questions do you have for Miriam going forward, as you think about spreading the word on this important work? Dr. Charles Lowenstein: So Miriam's discovery is just so important and she now has the tools to help answer really, really important questions. How is nitric oxide made in red blood cells? How is it stored in red blood cells? How is it transported throughout the body in red blood cells? What is the chemistry of nitric oxide, when it is stored, when it combines with oxygen when it forms nitrite and nitrate, how is it released from red blood cells? How is it targeted from a red blood cell to the vasculature? So there're these great basic science questions that Miriam and her colleagues are now poised to answer. So there's the science part of it. Then there's the medicine part of it because Miriam's mice and her great discovery have really huge implications for medicine. And so the question is, how can we use ENO? How can we deliver it? How can we target ENO to human tissues? Dr. Charles Lowenstein: How can we turn on erythrocyte, nitric oxide synthase? How can we turn it off? Because there are all these medical diseases where too much nitric oxide is bad, like in sepsis or inadequate amounts, don't protect the vasculature like atherosclerosis. Then there are all these other interesting questions. When we transfuse red blood cells, sometimes if you transfuse aged red blood cells, it's not good. You can harm people. Maybe we can load up or activate eNOS in stored red blood cells and then help deliver more ENO to patients who need red blood cells. So there are all these fascinating medical questions that we can look at based on Miriam's really important discovery. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Well, thank you so much. We're coming to the end of this wonderful and informative podcast. And I guess, I'd just ask Miriam, do you have anything else you'd like our listeners to know about your work and about the findings from this study? Professor Miriam Cortese-Krott: I would like people know that hard work help a lot, and that you have to believe in what you are doing and the quality of your science at the end would bring their true discoveries. So I think it's important specifically, for the young women in science that having this message too. So the science per se must be excellent and to proceed, you need a lot of work, but then the work goes to a good end. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Miriam, thank you so much for that inspirational note. The hard work that scientists need, the persistence across one's career and building from earlier discoveries, and bringing those forward through one's career are always critically important. And so I hope everyone has really enjoyed this episode and this opportunity to hear from Dr. Cortese-Krott. Miriam, you've done such wonderful work, and thank you as well, Charlie, for your insights about the intersection of this work with clinical care and basic science.

Dr. Albert Koehler's journey from a small village in Northern Europe to Prince George in Central British Columbia has been interesting, challenging, enriching and also very rewarding. Dr. Albert Koehler was born in Bremen, Germany and grew up on a farm on the outskirts of the city. After graduating from high school, he learned the trade of “Mechanic for Agricultural and Forestry Equipment” and worked for a time as a licensed mechanic. Later he studied Mechanical Engineering, first in Cologne and then at the Technical University of Aachen. After graduation with a Masters Degree he accepted a 6-year employment contract as Assistant Professor with a Research Institute at the Technical University of Aachen and received his PhD in 1981. Thereafter he was manager of “Reliability and Applications” with a large corporation in Duesseldorf. Beginning of 2004, Albert sold part of his Consulting Engineering business and invested in real estate in Prince George. At that time he was elected as a board member to various organizations in the Prince George community, including the Chamber of Commerce and became the president of the Chamber in 2008. In 2010, Albert founded the “Northern Technology & Engineering Society of BC” and subsequently became its President (www.ntes.ca). Thanks to the society's lobbying activities the Prince George, postsecondary institutions are starting up with new technology and engineering programs with a recent student intake at the University of Northern British Columbia https://www.albertkoehler.com/

On 20 July 2021, the European Commission presented an ambitious package of legislative proposals to strengthen the anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) rules. The main pillars of this are the EU single rulebook and a new supervisory authority at EU level. Additionally, the package includes legislative proposals for a new AML/CFT Directive repealing the currently applicable 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directive. In this podcast, Daniel Travers (Criminal law Counsel, based in Duesseldorf), Janina Heinz and Marius Raetz (Financial regulatory Counsel and Principal Associate, both based in Frankfurt) and Victor Garcia-Lopez (EU Regulatory and Public Affairs Consultant, based in Brussels) explore the axes of the Commission´s AML package. They touch upon the impact on the creation of a new institutional framework, discuss some substantive elements of the package and bring light into the criminal law consequences for financial services as well as the wider industry.

Rainer has lived the dream of any young boy/girl who grew up playing and loving the sport of tennis. From starting at the age of 10 to going Pro at 18/19, getting to a Grand Slam Final, cracking the top 5 ATP Tour ranking and retiring with an amazing career behind him at they age of 36 and then becoming an Entrepreneur by buying a license for an ATP event. Rainer has lived it and been there and is sharing his thoughts, emotions and learning from his amazing tennis journey.   Key Highlights Tennis professional by mistake – started playing at age 10 At 16-17 starting to take it serious, playing ITF Junior Tournaments around the world, getting on Junior World Ranking His coach, Dirk Hordorff was instrumental in taking pressure off him and setting him up for a successful transition from Junior to professional player Making the ATP Ranking at the age of 18-19 Learning from losing & winning, always look where you want to be 6 months in the future, improved ranking 11 years in a row Dealing with losing every week (at least once) Started early to learn other business beyond tennis from Coach Toughest loss – becomes winning the Silver Medal in Doubles at the Olympics with Nicolas Kiefer later Learning for business from his tennis career Taking over the ATP World Team Cup in Duesseldorf, now ATP 250 event in Geneva, partnered with Ion Tiriac His event also a Covid-19 victim and learning from this Thoughts on tennis and the rest of the season Life now, German Fed Cup Captain, his own event, attending the Grand Slams, etc   About Rainer Schüttler is a retired German professional tennis player. As of 2019, he is the most recent male German player to reach the singles final of a Grand Slam tournament, finishing as runner-up at the 2003 Australian Open. Schüttler also won a silver medal in doubles at the 2004 Summer Olympics and achieved a career-high ranking of world No. 5 in April 2004. He began playing tennis at the age of nine. He resides in Switzerland. In 2003, Schüttler became the first German since Boris Becker in 1989 to advance to the fourth round at all Grand Slams. He became the first German to reach a Grand Slam final, at the Australian Open, since Michael Stich was the runner-up at Roland Garros in 1996. En route to the final, which he lost in straight sets to Andre Agassi, he defeated Andy Roddick who would end the season as world No 1. In 2004, Schüttler reached his first career ATP Masters Series final in Monte Carlo by beating Gustavo Kuerten in the first round, Lleyton Hewitt in the third round, Tim Henman in the quarterfinal and Carlos Moyá in the semifinal. In the final, he lost to Guillermo Coria. That week, he would reach a career-high ranking of No. 5. Schüttler won a silver medal for Germany in men's doubles with partner Nicolas Kiefer at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. 2004 was the sixth straight year in which he finished in the ATP top 50. Schüttler reached his first career semifinal at Wimbledon by beating Santiago Ventura, James Blake, Guillermo García-López, Janko Tipsarević, and Arnaud Clément 6–3, 5–7, 7–6, 6–7, 8–6. His match with Clément was over five hours, completed in two days to reach the semifinals, in which Schuettler saved a match point at 6–5 down in the fifth set. He was defeated by eventual champion Rafael Nadal 1–6, 6–7, 4–6. His achievement was a big surprise, since he entered the tournament ranked 94th and with a streak of 13 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments without making it past the second round. His 2009 season, Schüttler started off at the Chennai Open, beating Prakash Amritraj 6–2, 4–6, 6–1. In the second round, he beat Simon Greul 6–4, 6–2, and in the quarterfinals Björn Phau, 6–2, 7–5. Unfortunately Schuettler had to withdraw from his semifinal match against Somdev Devvarman because of a wrist injury. He also withdrew from the tournament in Sydney. At the Australian Open, he was seeded 30th but lost in the first round to Israeli Dudi Sela 1–6, 6–2, 6–4, 6–4. He also participated in the doubles with Lu Yen-hsun, but they were defeated by Łukasz Kubot and Oliver Marach. In the first round in Rotterdam, he lost to Mario Ančić. He played the Open 13 in Marseille, defeating Laurent Recouderc in the first round 6–1, 6–4. He competed at the ARAG World Team Cup in Germany, helping his country reach the final, where they lost to Serbia. In the second round at Wimbledon, though seeded 18th, he was upset by Dudi Sela, 7–6, 6–3, 6–2. He reached the second round of the Australian Open defeating Sam Querrey in four sets. However he lost to Feliciano López in four sets, too. At the French Open, he again suffered a first-round exit, this time against Guillermo García-López in straight sets. He reached the semifinal of the Aegon Championships at the Queens Club in London but lost to Sam Querrey in three sets 7–6, 5–7, 3–6. Despite his good form he was defeated by Denis Istomin in the second round of Wimbledon in five sets. At the quarterfinal of the Countrywide Classic in Los Angeles, Schüttler could not manage to close out the match against Querrey despite serving for it at 5–4 and 6–5 in the deciding set. He was knocked out in the first round of the US Open losing to Benoît Paire. At the Thailand Open in Bangkok, Schüttler beat Ricardo Mello in round one for a second round berth against Ernests Gulbis. He lost 6–7, 7–6, 4–6 in a close match. In 2010, Schüttler and his former Davis Cup companion Alexander Waske founded the Schüttler Waske Tennis-University, a tennis academy for professional tennis players. Schüttler started the tour at the Qatar Open where he confronted Teymuraz Gabashvili in the singles, but lost 3–5, 6–7. He also played doubles with Guillermo García-López confronting Marco Chiudinelli and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, to whom they lost 1–6, 2–6. At the Australian Open, he played ninth seed Fernando Verdasco in the first round, but lost 1–6, 3–6, 2–6. He then played several Challenger series tournaments. At Wimbledon, he defeated Thomaz Bellucci in the first round, but lost to Feliciano López in the second 6–7, 7–6, 2–6, 2–6. Schüttler retired in October 2012 and has coached Sergiy Stakhovsky and Vasek Pospisil. Since November 2018, he coached former world No. 1, Angelique Kerber. In July 2019, Kerber announced they had split on social media.   ----------------------------------------------- If you are enjoying the Sports Entrepreneurs Podcast (SEP) series, check out our Sports Entrepreneurs Mastermind (SEM) sessions too.

Loser The British Airways he flight on Monday seemed to go perfectly well, until passengers realized that their plane had landed in both the wrong city and the wrong country. The British Airways flight from London City Airport was supposed to head to Duesseldorf, Germany, but ended up in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. The airline said Monday the problem started when an incorrect flight plan was filed by WDL Aviation, which operated the flight on behalf of British Airways. Officials say the pilot followed the flight plan for Edinburgh, and that air traffic control officials also were following the same flight plan and saw nothing amiss. WDL aviation said it was trying to determine the cause of the “obviously unfortunate mix-up.” The flight was refueled and set off again, this time directly to Duesseldorf. Winner Liberty High students Shaun Mabanta and Edgar Hernandez from Las Vegas Originally, Edgar Hernandez didn't make the top four on the prom court list. But then another student that was in the top four stepped aside for him. Shaun also has started a kindness club at his school with the goal of ensuring that no student feels invisible.
