SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Nanobio-technology for drug delivery: fundamental aspects and translational applications
DESCRIPTION:Nanobio-technology for drug delivery: fundamental aspects and translational applications\nDr. Silvia Muro\, University of Maryland\, College Park\, MD\, USA\nThe design of targeting and carrier strategies to enable delivery of therapeutic or diagnostic agents to areas of the body requiring intervention is an active research field. Therapeutic and diagnostic targets are often confined to specific regions or tissues in the body\, where access may require active transport from the circulation into the subjacent tissue. In addition\, once within the tissue or body compartment of interest\, most targets of intervention relate to sub-cellular environments\, e.g.\, the cell surface versus different intracellular compartments\, further requiring strategies to achieve this goal. \nUsing polymer nanocarriers functionalized with affinity moieties against single or combined cell-surface receptors\, along with additional biological signaling moieties\, my laboratory focuses on understanding the parameters that regulate transport of drug delivery vehicles across cellular barriers and into cells of subjacent tissues. We examine these aspects using cell culture models with subsequent validation in laboratory animals to correlate molecular/cellular mechanisms with in vivo outcomes. We investigate the influence exerted on targeting and uptake by drug carrier design parameters (size\, shape\, avidity\, combination targeting\, etc.) and parameters that are intrinsic to the physiological system (disease states\, flow\, receptor epitopes being targeted\, modulation of regulatory molecules\, etc.). The characterization of these complex physiological and design parameters\, along with the understanding of the mechanisms governing the interaction of drugs carriers with the surrounding biological environment\, are necessary steps toward achieving efficient drug delivery systems.

SUMMARY:PhD Discussions: Ágata Mata and Lucas Pedraz
DESCRIPTION:Role of secreted Sema3E in embryonic and adult hippocampal formation\nÁgata Mata Rodríguez\, Molecular and cellular neurobiotechnology group\nDue to its implication in many cognitive processes like learning and memory\, the hippocampal formation is a brain structure which has been widely studied over the years. Its simplified architecture\, where principal cells are in a single cell layer and synaptic inputs are in well defined dendritic lamina\, has enabled the study and establishment of the general principles of modern neuroscience. Behind this simplicity resides the action of numerous factors that regulate the correct development of the structure. \nThe principle entrance of information to the hippocampus is the entorhino-hippocampal (EH) pathway or perforant pathway\, where axons arising from the entorhinal cortex enter the hippocampus proper and arrive to the outer molecular layer of the dentate gyrus. The development of this pathway is highly regulated and some of the molecules that intervene in this process are the class III Semaphorins. \nClass III Semaphorins are soluble molecules initially known by its function in axonal guidance. It is known that some of these molecules and their receptors are involved in the development and maturation of the hippocampal connections\, nevertheless\, the participation of Sema3E and its receptor\, PlexinD1\, in the development of the entorhino-hippocampal connection has not been studied in detail. With this in mind\, in the present study we focused on determining their role during development and adulthood. \nOur results show that in absence of Sema3E/PlexinD1 signalling (i) there is an aberrant layering of the entorhinal axons in the hippocampus during development\, and (ii) there are some alterations in the adult hippocampal formation such as misrouted ectopic mossy fibres and ectopic granule cells in the dentate gyrus due to a dysregulation in the proliferation of dentate gyrus progenitors. \n \n\nRegulation of DNA synthesis in bacterial biofilms: An in vitro system for modelization of the oxygen gradients present in the chronic infections biofilms\nLucas Pedraz López\, Bacterial infections: antimicrobial therapies\nChronic infections represent one of the main threats to human health nowadays\, being one of the main causes of death even in the developed countries. These infections are always associated with the developing of a biofilm\, complex 3D structures where cells are encapsulated in an extracellular polymeric matrix\, seeing increased their resistance to antibiotic therapies and physical stress. In biofilms\, oxygen cannot diffuse freely throughout the structure\, generating an oxygen concentration gradient and leading to the presence of microaerophilic and anaerobic environments. \nGiven the urgent need to develop new antimicrobial therapies\, many aspects of bacterial physiology are being studied trying to understand better the underlying molecular mechanisms of their growing and virulence. However\, one of the major factors affecting the differential behavior in the biofilm is the oxygen concentration\, and\, in most cases\, studies have only been conducted using biofilms as a whole\, or using fully aerobic or fully anaerobic liquid cultures; in real world conditions\, transition from aerobiosis to anaerobiosis is never done in a single step\, having always a spatial and/or temporal gradient of oxygen concentrations\, and gene regulation during intermediate stages of this gradient\, in microaerophilic environments or during dynamical oxygen concentration changes\, has not been studied properly. \nIn our lab we have developed a method to monitor bacterial gene expression as determined by oxygen concentration\, during a progressive change in oxygenation conditions\, that can be implemented in any microbiology lab and that only relies on common laboratory equipment. The method is based on a chemostat-like bioreactor coupled to an oxygen tension continuous detection system that also allows for discontinuous sampling. Initially\, this system is now being applied to the determination of the changes in ribonucleotide reductase gene expression profile determined by oxygen concentration in a Pseudomonas aeruginosa liquid culture.

SUMMARY:PhD Discussions: Ágata Mata and Lucas Pedraz
DESCRIPTION:Role of secreted Sema3E in embryonic and adult hippocampal formation\nÁgata Mata Rodríguez\, Molecular and cellular neurobiotechnology group\nDue to its implication in many cognitive processes like learning and memory\, the hippocampal formation is a brain structure which has been widely studied over the years. Its simplified architecture\, where principal cells are in a single cell layer and synaptic inputs are in well defined dendritic lamina\, has enabled the study and establishment of the general principles of modern neuroscience. Behind this simplicity resides the action of numerous factors that regulate the correct development of the structure. \nThe principle entrance of information to the hippocampus is the entorhino-hippocampal (EH) pathway or perforant pathway\, where axons arising from the entorhinal cortex enter the hippocampus proper and arrive to the outer molecular layer of the dentate gyrus. The development of this pathway is highly regulated and some of the molecules that intervene in this process are the class III Semaphorins. \nClass III Semaphorins are soluble molecules initially known by its function in axonal guidance. It is known that some of these molecules and their receptors are involved in the development and maturation of the hippocampal connections\, nevertheless\, the participation of Sema3E and its receptor\, PlexinD1\, in the development of the entorhino-hippocampal connection has not been studied in detail. With this in mind\, in the present study we focused on determining their role during development and adulthood. \nOur results show that in absence of Sema3E/PlexinD1 signalling (i) there is an aberrant layering of the entorhinal axons in the hippocampus during development\, and (ii) there are some alterations in the adult hippocampal formation such as misrouted ectopic mossy fibres and ectopic granule cells in the dentate gyrus due to a dysregulation in the proliferation of dentate gyrus progenitors. \n  \nRegulation of DNA synthesis in bacterial biofilms: An in vitro system for modelization of the oxygen gradients present in the chronic infections biofilms\nLucas Pedraz López\, Bacterial infections: antimicrobial therapies\nChronic infections represent one of the main threats to human health nowadays\, being one of the main causes of death even in the developed countries. These infections are always associated with the developing of a biofilm\, complex 3D structures where cells are encapsulated in an extracellular polymeric matrix\, seeing increased their resistance to antibiotic therapies and physical stress. In biofilms\, oxygen cannot diffuse freely throughout the structure\, generating an oxygen concentration gradient and leading to the presence of microaerophilic and anaerobic environments. \nGiven the urgent need to develop new antimicrobial therapies\, many aspects of bacterial physiology are being studied trying to understand better the underlying molecular mechanisms of their growing and virulence. However\, one of the major factors affecting the differential behavior in the biofilm is the oxygen concentration\, and\, in most cases\, studies have only been conducted using biofilms as a whole\, or using fully aerobic or fully anaerobic liquid cultures; in real world conditions\, transition from aerobiosis to anaerobiosis is never done in a single step\, having always a spatial and/or temporal gradient of oxygen concentrations\, and gene regulation during intermediate stages of this gradient\, in microaerophilic environments or during dynamical oxygen concentration changes\, has not been studied properly. \nIn our lab we have developed a method to monitor bacterial gene expression as determined by oxygen concentration\, during a progressive change in oxygenation conditions\, that can be implemented in any microbiology lab and that only relies on common laboratory equipment. The method is based on a chemostat-like bioreactor coupled to an oxygen tension continuous detection system that also allows for discontinuous sampling. Initially\, this system is now being applied to the determination of the changes in ribonucleotide reductase gene expression profile determined by oxygen concentration in a Pseudomonas aeruginosa liquid culture.

SUMMARY:FRAILTY - A societal challenge in need of integrated solutions
DESCRIPTION:FRAILTY – A societal challenge in need of integrated solutions\nOctober 27th-28th\nWe are very pleased to welcome you to this Frailty Workshop\, mainly intended to deepen in this concept\, a state of high vulnerability to low-power stressors\, which place older people at high risk of becoming disabled. Frailty has risen in the last two decades as one of the most innovative concepts in the field of Health and Social Sciences for older adults. The old framework approaches disability by treating diseases. Overcoming it by acting on functional issues arises from the main idea of detecting and intervening in the earliest phases of the functional deterioration leading to disability and dependence. Frailty also demands the incorporation of an appropriate technology to provide clues to its detection and diagnosis and to an integrated\, continued and coordinated management. Frailty concept offers the best window of opportunity to significantly reduce the burden of disability in our aged societies. \nGoals: \n– Updates from key opinion leaders in the field\n– To introduce EIT and EIT Health to a broad audience in Spain\n– To present the FACET project: service and product to promote frailty care and prevention\n– Business opportunities related to frailty\n– To reach stakeholders and take action regarding frailty. \nMore information \n[br] \nUseful dates:\nWorkshop dates: October 27th-28th\, 2016
