SUMMARY:Transversal skills: Tess Marschner
DESCRIPTION:ANIMAL REMINDER\nPosthuman\, queer and animate perspectives on (Techno)Sciences \nI will introduce my previous artistic work and share the current state of my project at Ibec. It would be magnificent if my presentation leads to further thoughts and collaborations that are of interest to my project. \nI will focus on my installation work ANIMAL REMINDER in terms of intertwining artistic and scientific knowledge production. The philosopher Martha C. Nussbaum describes animal reminders as parts or aspects of the human body that evoke a strong aversion or even disgust: Blood\, saliva\, urine\, sweat\, amniotic fluid\, pus\, breast milk\, faeces\, ejaculate. Body surfaces of living beings are perforated several times\, ANIMAL REMINDER emerge from pores and body orifices\, interfaces of skins and mucous membranes at the boundary to air\, water and earth. ANIMAL REMINDER are reminiscent of the process of decomposition\, of slimy animals\, the uncontrollable loss of bodily fluids. They remind us that we ourselves are mortal and animal beings. \nIn case you are heavily interested in my work but unable to attend\, feel free to write me a pm and we can figure out a personal meeting.

SUMMARY:PhD Discussion: Isabela Fortunato y Marina Martinez
DESCRIPTION:Cell migration up and down fibronectin gradients\nIsabela Fortunato\, Integrative cell and tissue dynamics group \nThe ability of cells to perform directed migration is essential for biological processes\, such as tissue morphogenesis\, immune function\, and cancer invasion. Directed cell migration is often triggered by spatial gradients in the cellular environment (e.g.\, chemical gradients\, called chemotaxis\, substrate stiffness gradients\, called durotaxis\, or substrate-bound ligand gradients\, called haptotaxis). Haptotaxis has been described in vivo as an important phenomenon during physiological and pathological conditions. However\, the molecular and mechanical processes that drive this form of directed cell migration remain elusive. Moreover\, generating accurate and reliable gradients of immobilized protein in vitro has been challenging and makes it harder to study haptotaxis. Here\, we explore how cells sense and respond to gradients of immobilized proteins. We used a photopatterning technique to create well-controlled fibronectin gradients and we studied the migration of single mammary epithelial cells (MCF-10A). This approach allowed us to map cell migration velocity\, traction forces\, and actin cytoskeleton dynamics as a function of fibronectin density. We observed that cells respond to fibronectin gradients by an initial polarization towards higher protein density in the first hours of migration. Surprisingly\, after the initial polarization\, cells maintained their directionality even if they were submitted to a negative protein gradient. This suggests that cells adapt their polarity features to maintain the preexisting structures and organelles geometry towards low fibronectin regions until a limitation on creating new adhesions. In this work we find that one key adaptation mechanism is driven by the actin flows\, specifically the increase in actin polymerization velocity at the leading edge. Besides haptotaxis\, we foresee that these results will shed light on other forms of directed cell migration in which cells integrate several internal and external cues to orient themselves in physiological and pathological processes. \n\nLiving myocardial slices as a representative in vitro platform for translational cardiovascular disease\nMarina Martínez\, Biomaterials for Regenerative Therapies group \nCardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of global mortality\, accounting for nearly 45% of all deaths in Europe. Myocardial infarction (MI) is a prevalent condition\, where a region of the cardiac muscle undergoes ischemia and up to one billion cardiomyocytes die in just a few hours. The heart has a limited regenerative ability; consequently\, cardiomyocytes lost due to MI cannot be replaced. In this scenario\, researchers have investigated and developed alternative therapies to promote cardiac repair and regeneration. \nLactate\, an important metabolite during cardiogenesis and cardiac development\, has been recently described as a potential modulator of the phenotype of cardiac cells in vitro. These findings support a novel use of lactate for endogenous heart regeneration strategies. Nevertheless\, effectiveness of ongoing therapeutic approaches is dependent on the level of maturation of cardiac tissue. Hitherto\, the regenerative capabilities of lactate in mature cardiac tissue have not been described. In this work\, we used living myocardial slices (LMS) as a model of mature cardiac tissue. LMS are 300 μm-thick slices of living myocardium with conserved physiological structure and function. Human and rat adult LMS were treated with lactate to evaluate early cellular\, molecular\, and functionality changes related to myocardial reprogramming\, cardiac structural rearrangements\, and fibrosis. Moreover\, the effect of lactate was characterized in both healthy and injured adult myocardium. \nFunctionally\, (8 mM) lactate-treated healthy and pathological human LMS displayed an increase in contractility. Expression of fibrotic\, pluripotency transcription factors\, and cardiomyocyte markers were detected. Exposure of healthy rat LMS to higher concentrations of lactate (20 mM) did not affect LMS viability nor altered LMS contractile force\, while promoted LMS stiffening. In cryoinjured rat LMS\, lactate drastically increased contractility and altered tissue remodeling in the region bordering the injury. \nLMS provide a representative in vitro platform for translational cardiovascular research. By using LMS\, characterization of the effect of lactate in mature cardiac tissue has been achieved. Exogenous lactate enhanced cardiac function in both human and injured rat LMS. Upregulation of transcription factors and cardiomyocyte markers may suggest an effect on partial cardiomyocyte reprogramming that would counteract the effects of tissue stiffening. Altogether\, this study further supports the prospective use of lactate as a bioactive signal in new endogenous cardiac regeneration strategies. \nThis PhD Discussion session will be held at Tower I\, 11th floor Baobab room\, at 10:00am.

SUMMARY:PhD Discussions: Maria Gallo and Nimesh Chahare
DESCRIPTION:Generation Of Reporter Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines To Study Cardiac Development And Disease\nMaria Gallo\, Pluripotency for organ regeneration Group \nThe development and the use of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) represent an effective tool to recapitulate characteristics related to tissue differentiation\, morphogenesis and conversely\, human diseases. Through their inherent capacity to differentiate towards the three germ layers and their easy manipulation\, it has been possible to generate three dimensional (3D) self-organized organ-like structures\, the so-called organoids. In this context\, the advent of CRISPR-Cas9 technology has now allow to incorporate permanent or transient changes in the genome of living organisms and cells. Our laboratory has developed a cellular platform\, named iCRISPR2 (iC2)\, that allows to perform highly efficient genome editing in hPSCs through the insertion of an inducible Cas9 under the endogenous TET/ON promoter. This platform allowed us the generation of reporter\, knock-out and knock-in hPSCs lines. By exploiting the generation of cardiac reporter cell lines it has been possible to define new approaches for the generation of self-assembled cardiac-like organoids. Cardioids have been characterized at conventional molecular biology techniques\, confocal microscopy and functional analysis. Moreover\, taking advantages of specific cell culture conditions emulating early stages of diabetic cardiomyopathy it has been possible to establish a platform for the interrogation of transcriptional and functional changes during diabetic disease. \n\nMechanics of epithelial layers subjected to controlled pressure\nNimesh Chahare\, Integrative cell and tissue dynamics Group \nEpithelial sheets form specialized 3D structures suited to their physiological roles\, such as branched alveoli in the lungs\, tubes in the kidney\, and villi in the intestine. To generate and maintain these structures\, epithelia must undergo complex 3D deformations across length and time scales. How epithelial shape arises from active stresses\, viscoelasticity\, and luminal pressure remains poorly understood. To address this question\, we developed a microfluidic chip and a computational framework to engineer 3D epithelial tissues with controlled shape and pressure. In the setup\, an epithelial monolayer is grown on a porous surface with circular low adhesion zones. On applying hydrostatic pressure\, the monolayer delaminates into a spherical cap from the circular zone. This simple shape allows us to calculate epithelial tension using Laplace’s law. Through this approach\, we subject the monolayer to a range of lumen pressures at different rates and hence probe the relation between strain and tension in different regimes while computationally tracking actin dynamics and their mechanical effect at the tissue scale. Slow pressure changes relative to the actin dynamics allow the tissue to accommodate large strain variations. However\, under sudden pressure reductions\, the tissue develops buckling patterns and folds with different degrees of symmetry-breaking to store excess tissue area. These insights allow us to pattern epithelial folds through rationally directed buckling. Our study establishes a new approach for engineering epithelial morphogenetic events. \n  \nThis PhD Discussion session will be held at Tower I\, 11th floor Baobab room\, at 10:00am.

SUMMARY:IBEC PhD Discussions Complementary Skills Session: #LancetGate and its broader implications for the pandemic response and science dissemination 
DESCRIPTION:#LancetGate and its broader implications for the pandemic response and science dissemination\nCarlos Chaccour\, ISGlobal\, Hospital Clínic\, Universitat de Barcelona \nOn May 22\, 2020\, the Lancet published an influential report on the use of hydroxychloroquine in COVID conducted using a vast database owned by a company based in Chicago: Surgisphere. The world counted more than 300.000 deaths due to the Pandemic at that time. The paper had an immediate impact on more than 131 clinical trials with this molecule ongoing worldwide at the moment\, including the WHO-led SOLIDARITY trial which put its hydroxychloroquine arm on hold due to safety concerns. The main issue\, of course\, is that the data was fraudulent. Hydroxychloroquine would finally be discarded as a potential treatment after failing randomized clinical trials. But the broader impact of the surgisphere “database” exceeded hydroxychloroquine and shaped the pandemic response in several latinamerican countries. In this talk we will review the story of what is now known as the #LancetGate scandal. \n\nCarlos Chaccour a results-oriented global health researcher that finds joy in looking at challenges from different angles. He is interested in the whole spectrum of problem solving\, from discovery to scale-up and believes that open-minded multidisciplinary teams are key to innovation. Carlos thinks that scientists should be well versed on the complexities of policy\, funding and implementation if they are to come up with sustainable solutions. He currently focuses on malaria but enjoys the full spectrum of global health.

SUMMARY:IBEC PhD Discussions Complementary Skills Session: Some philosophical & sociological issues about present science: from the privatization of science to the production of ignorance
DESCRIPTION:Some philosophical & sociological issues about present science: from the privatization of science to the production of ignorance\nEduard Aibar – Professor of Science and Technology Studies at the Arts & Humanities Department\, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) \nThis seminar will present some basic points of the recent view of science produced by fields like the philosophy of science\, the sociology of science and the history of science. We will highlight the strong contrast between this view and the traditional view of science – still dominant in many areas of society – particularly around matters like the scientific method\, the evolution of science and the role of controversies. We will also discuss a few important phenomena of contemporary science: the productivist view of research evaluation\, the privatization of scientific knowledge and\, finally\, agnotology – the systematic production of ignorance. \nEduard Aibar is professor of Science and Technology Studies at the Arts & Humanities Department\, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). He has been the director of the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute and former vice-president for research at UOC. He is currently leading a research group on Open Science and Innovation. His research has focused on the interaction between scientific and technological development and organizational and social change in areas such as eGovernment\, town planning and the Internet. He has recently led two research projects on Wikipedia and the public communication of science. \nFor more info see: https://www.uoc.edu/webs/eaibar
