All are invited to listen to our biochemistry faculty candidate, Pam Beilby, present her research at 2 p.m. today (Monday) in Hoover 105. Her talk is titled “Glutathione and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).”

Glutathione is the primary non-enzymatic antioxidant in mitochondria. Mitochondrial function, as well as the mitochondrial pool of glutathione, diminishes significantly with age and in many disease states, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Traditional efforts to elevate cellular glutathione levels typically raise cytosolic levels, but fail to impact the mitochondrial pool of glutathione. To address this limitation, we have designed glutathione derivatives conjugated to a triphenylphosphonium moiety to enhance delivery directly to mitochondria.

Direct any questions to Vetta Berokoff at vberokof@georgefox.edu.

Synopsis
Maya, Nadia and Leen, three best friends from college, are now living their mid-20s dreams in suburban Chicago. Leen is a fashion designer who owns a fashion boutique. Maya works as an office assistant in a dental office, and Nadia is a teacher at a local Montessori school.

Life after college isn’t what any of the women expected, but what unites them in their struggles is their love for ice cream, their penchant for laughter, and their commitment to wearing their hijabs as a reflection of their faithfulness to God. Unfortunately, their lives are upended when their mosque is desecrated by locals from the community. Their responses to this event change the course of their lives.
