Tnks1bp1 a novel key player in the maintenance of hair cell progenitors.Loss of hair cells (HC), the mechanoreceptors of sensory epithelia of the inner ear, is the major cause of non-syndromic hearing disorders. These sophisticated cells are highly sensitive to several otoxic factors including antibiotics, noise or simply ageing because we are born with a finite stoc... |
Centromeric control of nuclear envelope disassemblyChromosome ‘linearity' is so universal among eukaryotes that we assume it to be evolutionarily advantageous. Nonetheless, formidable challenges are presented by linear chromosome ends, as their resemblance to damage-induced DNA breaks makes them vulnerable to degradation and end-joining pat... |
 Wednesday, June 28th, 2017 - CDC Seminar Speaker(s) : Frederic BARD (IMCB - A*STAR in Singapore) Journey to the Center of the CellHow cells receive and interpret signals from the outside world is a key question in biology. Most signalling is thought to occur through cell surface receptors that transduce signals across the cell membrane and connect to cytosolic signalling cascades. At variance with this model, cell surface r... |
 Wednesday, June 28th, 2017 - CDC Seminar Speaker(s) : Vivek SHENOY Cell-Matrix Interactions in Fibrosis and Cancer: Multiscale mechano-chemical modelsMuch of our understanding of the biological mechanisms that underlie cellular functions, such as migration, differentiation and force sensing has been garnered from studying cells cultured on two-dimensional (2D) substrates. In the recent years there has been intense interest and effort to unders... |
How many Bcl-2 family proteins does it take to form a pore in a lipid membrane?Proteins from the Bcl-2 family preside over what is essentially the “point-of-no-return” in apoptosis. Pro-apoptotic members of the family promote outer mitochondrial membrane permeabilization and cell death, while anti-apoptotic members promote cell survival by blocking th... |

From systems biology to systems medicine: Easier said than doneSystems approaches are increasingly used to dissect the pathogenesis of diseases and to develop new preventive and therapeutic strategies. One of the major challenges is the curation, integration and analysis of heterogenous data, both from the biomedical research as well as the clinical domain. ... |
Twisting the dragon's tail: histone variant dynamics in human tumorsDr. Dalal's lab focuses on proteins called histones, which package the entirety of the human genome into a nucleoprotein complex called chromatin in vivo. Specific regions of chromatin are prone to fragility and chromosomal rearrangements in cancer cells. Consequently, understanding how this prot... |
 Wednesday, July 5th, 2017 - Curie TechWatch Seminar Speaker(s) : Georgia Golfis Imaris : The ideal solution to interactively analyze microscopy imagesBitplane is the world's leading interactive microscopy image analysis software company and was founded in 1992 in Switzerland. Through their constant innovation and a clear focus on 3D and 4D image visualization analysis, Bitplane actively shapes the way scientists process multi-dimensional micro... |
