    Abstract The 38th Annual David W. Smith Workshop on Malformations and Morphogenesis occurred on August 26th - 29th, 2017 at the Stoweflake Resort and Conference Center in Stowe, VT. The Workshop, which honors the legacy of David W Smith, brought together clinicians and researchers interested in congenital malformations and their underlying mechanisms of morphogenesis. The Workshop highlighted four themes besides mechanisms of morphogenesis and new syndromes: Disorders of Transcriptional Regulation, Dysmorphology (Syndromes and Malformations) in Minority and Unique Populations, Syndromes and Isolated Birth Defects Involving Malformations of the Developing Foregut, and the Natural History of Syndromes. This Conference Report includes the abstracts presented at the 2017 Workshop.

    Quantitatively and Normatively Assessing Religious NGO Participation at the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change

    Abstract How much is religion quantitatively involved in global climate politics? After assessing the role of the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change from a normative perspective, this descriptive, transdisciplinary and unconventional study offers the first comprehensive quantitative examination of religious nongovernmental organizations that formally participate in its annual meetings, the largest attempts to solve the climate crisis through global governance. This study finds that although their numbers are growing, only about 3 percent of registered nongovernmental organizations accredited to participate in the conference are overtly religious in nature—and that more than 80 percent of those faith-based groups are Christian. Additionally, this study finds that religious nongovernmental organizations that participate in the conference are mostly from the Global North. The results call for greater participation of religious institutions in the international climate negotiations in order for society to address the planetary emergency of climate change.

    Abstract The transcriptional effects of SSRIs and other serotonergic drugs remain unclear, in part due to the heterogeneity of postsynaptic cells, which may respond differently to changes in serotonergic signaling. Relatively simple model systems such as Drosophila afford more tractable microcircuits in which to investigate these changes in specific cell types. Here, we focus on the mushroom body, an insect brain structure heavily innervated by serotonin and comprised of multiple different but related subtypes of Kenyon cells. We use fluorescence-activated cell sorting of Kenyon cells, followed by either bulk or single-cell RNA sequencing to explore the transcriptomic response of these cells to SERT inhibition. We compared the effects of two different Drosophila Serotonin Transporter (dSERT) mutant alleles as well as feeding the SSRI citalopram to adult flies. We find that the genetic architecture associated with one of the mutants contributed to significant artefactual changes in expression. Comparison of differential expression caused by loss of SERT during development versus aged, adult flies, suggests that changes in serotonergic signaling may have relatively stronger effects during development, consistent with behavioral studies in mice. Overall, our experiments revealed limited transcriptomic changes in Kenyon cells, but suggest that different subtypes may respond differently to SERT loss-of-function. Further work exploring the effects of SERT loss-of-function in other circuits may be used help to elucidate how SSRIs differentially affect a variety of different neuronal subtypes both during development and in adults.

    Abstract Aminergic signaling is known to play a critical role in regulating female reproductive processes in both mammals and insects. In Drosophila, the ortholog of noradrenaline, octopamine, is required for ovulation as well as several other female reproductive processes. Two octopamine receptors have already been shown to be expressed in the Drosophila reproductive tract and to be required for egg-laying: OAMB and Octβ2R. The Drosophila genome contains 4 additional octopamine receptors-Octα2R, Octβ1R, Octβ3R, and Oct-TyrR-but their cellular patterns of expression in the reproductive tract and potential contribution(s) to egg-laying are not known. In addition, the mechanisms by which OAMB and Octβ2R regulate reproduction are incompletely understood. Using a panel of MiMIC Gal4 lines, we show that Octα2R, Octβ1R, Octβ3R, and Oct-TyrR receptors are not detectable in either epithelium or muscle but are clearly expressed in neurons within the female fly reproductive tract. Optogenetic activation of neurons that express at least 3 types of octopamine receptors stimulates contractions in the lateral oviduct. We also find that octopamine stimulates calcium transients in the sperm storage organs and that its effects in spermathecal, secretory cells, can be blocked by knock-down of OAMB. These data extend our understanding of the pathways by which octopamine regulates egg-laying in Drosophila and raise the possibility that multiple octopamine receptor subtypes could play a role in this process.

    Abstract Objective: This study investigated prospective bidirectional relationships between depression and metabolic syndrome (MetS), and the moderating effects of race, sex, and health behaviors in a diverse cohort followed for 30 years.
    Methods: Data were analyzed from the NHLBI CARDIA study, a 30 year-prospective study of young adults (
    Results: There was a consistent, bi-directional relationship between depressive symptoms and MetS over time. Individuals with more CESD depressive symptoms were more likely to develop MetS over time compared to those reporting fewer symptoms (Wald Chi-Square = 7.09 (1),
    Conclusion: In a diverse young adult population prospectively followed into late middle age, MetS more consistently predicted depression over time than depression predicted MetS. The relation between MetS and depressive symptoms was moderated by race and sex, but not health behaviors.
