Making Science Work for Refugees and Refugees Work for Science Prof Anthony J. Ryan, OBE, University of Sheffield, UK At Zaatari refugee camp, 80,000 people face daily struggles that many of us cannot imagine are squeezed into six square kilometres. With highly qualified jobs at home, they are forcibly unemployed at the camp but embody ... Read more

Protein interactions gone awry in neurodegenerative disease Danny Hatters, Department of Biochemistry and Pharmacology | Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences The University of Melbourne, Australia The Hatters lab studies impacts of protein misfolding and aggregation in cultured cell models of neurodegenerative diseases. We have developed approaches to examine principles governing how proteins inappropriately ... Read more |

How does ageing-related stiffening of brain tissue microenvironments affect the regenerative capacity of cns progenitor cells Professor of biology and bioengineering, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. Ageing-related stiffening of neuronal microenvironments in the brain generates potent signals that attenuate the regenerative capacity of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) to proliferate and differentiate. We find that ... Read more |

Mechanical impact of cell delamination on tissue dynamics, in developmental and tumoral contexts Centre de Biologie Intégrative, CNRS/UMR 5088, Université Toulouse III, Toulouse, France How mechanical forces drive morphogenesis is a fundamental question in the field of biomechanics. Combining imaging, genetics, biophysical and modeling approaches, we found that apoptotic cells, far from being eliminated passively, ... Read more |
