CANCELLED - High-speed imaging of droplet and vesicle formation during emulsion transfer (cDICE)Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are widely used as in vitro model membranes in biophysics and as cell-sized containers in synthetic biology. Despite their ubiquitous use, there is no one-size-fits-all method for their production. Numerous methods have been developed to meet the demanding requir... |
Mechanics of Neural Crest Development: From Induction to Migration and DifferentiationThe neural crest is an embryonic cell population whose migratory behavior has been likened to cancer invasion during metastasis. Neural crests differentiate into a wide array of cell types, including muscle, cartilage, bones, melanocytes, neurons, and glia. Although the role of mechanical cues ha... |
On the multiple roads to cell fate decisions: Integrating transcription factors into RNA-regulatory networksWhile the current view states that Transcription Factors (TFs) act on DNA regulatory elements to deploy precise gene programs, an emerging concept proposes that TFs also bind RNA and regulate splicing to promote molecular and cellular diversity. Yet, how the RNA regulatory functions of TFs contri... |
Scientific Publishing: Behind the Scenes at NatureA fundamental part of scientific research is publishing your research findings. But once you have submitted your paper to a journal, it can seem like a daunting black box regarding what actually happens to your paper and how authors can successfully navigate the various steps of the publication p... |
Mécanique des tissus, mémoire et métabolisme - 6e édition Biologie Cellulaire et CancerL'objectif général du 6ème cours de biologie cellulaire et de cancérologie est de couvrir différents sujets de biologie cellulaire et de physique, en se concentrant sur la mécanique des tissus, l'effet de mémoire et le métabolisme cellulaire. Le cours couvrira des sujets tels que la polarité cell... |
Demystifying Machine and Deep Learning and overview of their applications in biologyArtificial Intelligence is a broad term that is often misunderstood. Its subfields, such as machine and deep learning have achieved astonishing performances, such as some Large Language Models passing the Turing Test or AlphaFold offering a solution to a 50 years old problem. Because new technolo... |
THE GENERATION OF NEURONAL DIVERSITY AND ITS EVOLUTIONClaude Desplan1,2, Nikos Konstantinides1, Felix Simon1, Neset Ozel1, Isabel Holguera1, Jennifer Malin1, Yen Chen1, and Bogdan Sieriebriennikov1 1 Center for Developmental Genetics, Department of Biology, New York University, New York, USA; 2 Center for Genomics and System Biology, NYU Abu... |
Common threads in regeneration: mechano-chemical insights from a jellyfish modelHow randomly injured animals can appropriately re-establish positional information and control the deployment of repair programs are key questions of regenerative biology. The hydrozoan jellyfish Clytia hemisphaerica has recently emerged as an original model organism for probing repair phenomena,... |
Understanding and modeling agingAging is associated with a decline in tissue function and the onset of a constellation of diseases. We are interested in understanding aging, with a particular focus on brain aging. Because aging is complex, we use organisms with diverse lifespans – the worm C. elegans, the African killifis... |
Protéger et recycler : comment les cellules régulent la dormanceNos recherches visent à élucider comment la croissance et la division cellulaires sont régulées dans l'espace et dans le temps, notamment par la dégradation sélective des composants cellulaires. Les cellules eucaryotes utilisent l'autophagie et le système ubiquitine-protéasome (UPS) pour assurer ... |
Deconstruct-Reconstruct Decode cancer-immune crosstalk & probe with organoids.The Roose team at UCSF studies mechanisms of cell-cell interactions in immunology and cancer1-7, with emphasis on personalized medicine4,8 and single cell approaches9-11. Over the past 7 years, we shifted a large portion of our research efforts to understanding human biology and disease. We are d... |
Nucleosomes and DNA methylation implications for immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome and cancersDNA methylation is a broadly observed epigenetic modification. As genomic DNA methylation profiles dynamically change during development and aging, alterations in DNA methylation patterns are linked to diseases such as cancers and immunodeficiency. ICF syndrome is characterized by hypomethylation... |
Génome non-codantLe cours « NON-CODING GENOME » explorera la diversité des éléments d'ADN non géniques et des ARN non codants dans un large spectre de processus cellulaires, chez l'homme et les organismes modèles, ainsi que leur implication dans la physiologie et la pathologie. Des experts de renommée internation... |
Cutting and Pasting DNA to Create our Adaptive Immune SystemV(D)J recombination is essential for generating the adaptive immune response and unlimited number of different antibodies and antigen receptors. Encoded by multiple V, D and J gene segments, antigen receptors are assembled by programmed double-stranded DNA cleavage and imprecise re-joining. RAG1/... |
Bioengineering Human Embryo and Organ ModelsEarly human development remains mysterious and difficult to study. Recent advances in developmental biology, stem cell biology and bioengineering have contributed to a significant interest in constructing controllable, stem cell-based models of human embryo and organs (embryoids / organoids). T... |
Endocytic control of cell plasticity in cancerOver the past two decades, there has been a significant shift in our understanding of the role of endocytosis and trafficking of signaling receptors. It has evolved from being viewed simply as a signal extinguisher (resulting in long-term attenuation) to being recognized as a sophisticated mechan... |
