SUMMARY:V Jornades sobre l'ensenyament de la biologia i la geologia a secundària
DESCRIPTION:De la interpretació del passat al disseny del futur\nActivitat per a escoles a CosmoCaixa Barcelona\nLes Jornades sobre l’Ensenyament de la Biologia i la Geologia a Secundària\, organitzades conjuntament pel Col·legi Oficial de Doctors i Llicenciats en Filosofia i Lletres i en Ciències de Catalunya\, CosmoCaixa Barcelona i el Departament d’Ensenyament de la Generalitat de Catalunya\, aspiren a constituir un punt de trobada per debatre els reptes actuals que planteja la docència d’aquestes disciplines. La millor ciència és aquella que afronta els enigmes des de tots els fronts possibles\, amb totes les eines disponibles. La ciència és necessàriament transversal\, ja que el món és únic\, som els humans els que ho compartimentem per tal que sigui més fàcil abastar-lo. Els grans problemes del segle XXI són complexos i\, per tant\, requereixen de la col·laboració de diferents disciplines . Els equips d’investigadors actuals són interdisciplinaris; treballen costat a costat biòlegs\, físics\, químics\, estadístics\, geòlegs\, enginyers … ja que els nous coneixements estan ara en les fronteres entre especialitats. Però\, què passa en els centres d’ensenyament? Som capaços de fer visible la importància de la transversalitat de la ciència? A partir d’una àmplia i diversa oferta de tallers i conferències\, aquestes jornades pretenen contribuir a: – Analitzar i resoldre problemes utilitzant de forma integrada models científics de diferents disciplines així com aspectes tecnològics. – Identificar la necessitat d’aprofundir en la coordinació entre el professorat de secundària de diferents disciplines – Reflexionar sobre la importància de proporcionar a l’alumnat una visió més integrada i funcional del coneixement científic per al seu desenvolupament competencial

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: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. Goals: – Updates from key opinion leaders in the field – To introduce EIT and EIT Health to a broad audience in Spain – To present the FACET project: service and product to promote frailty care and prevention – Business opportunities related to frailty – To reach stakeholders and take action regarding frailty. More information [br] Useful dates: Workshop dates: October 27th-28th\, 2016

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Targeting fibroblast durotaxis as anti-fibrotic therapy
DESCRIPTION:Targeting fibroblast durotaxis as anti-fibrotic therapy\nDr. David Lagares\, Harvard Medical School\nDysregulated wound repair process in response to chronic tissue injury can lead to the development of tissue fibrosis in most organs. Fibrosis is characterized by accumulation of collagens and other matrix proteins that result in the distortion of tissue architecture\, and ultimately organ failure\, in variety of human diseases including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Tissue stiffening\, traditionally thought to simply be a consequence of lung fibrosis\, has been recently shown to be a contributing factor to its pathogenesis by inducing fibroblasts differentiation into activated myofibroblasts\, the principal effector cells responsible matrix deposition. \nThe cellular and molecular mechanisms through which increased tissue rigidity drives disease progression remain to be fully elucidated. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM) to mechanically characterize the “topography”\, i.e. the spatial distribution\, of alterations in matrix stiffness produced in mouse models of lung fibrosis\, we consistently found that stiffness\, rather than being uniformly elevated in lung fibrotic tissues from animals models\, rises and falls in spatial gradients between “peaks” and “valleys.” We hypothesize that the stiffness “peaks” represent areas in which the fibrotic process was initiated\, or “nucleated”. Once fibrosis is nucleated\, the stiffness gradients leading to these fibrotic peaks are amplified by fibroblast “durotaxis\,” – the directed migration of cells from regions of lower to higher stiffness\, which occurs in the absence of chemoattractant gradients. Using hydrogels that recapitulate the stiffness gradients observed in animal fibrosis models\, we demonstrated durotaxis of lung fibroblasts in time-lapse microscopy studies. In human studies with lung tissues from IPF patients\, AFM revealed similar stiffness topography as we observed in mouse models\, i.e. the presence of focal peaks surrounded by stiffness gradients. Of note\, we have also found that primary lung fibroblasts from IPF patients exhibit greater durotactic responses to stiffness gradients than do control lung fibroblasts. In efforts to identify the molecular pathways involved in cell durotaxis\, we have found that the increased durotaxis of IPF fibroblasts may be attributable\, at least in part\, to increased acetylation of their microtubules. Acetylation of α-tubulin is dependent on α-tubulin acetyltransferase (αTAT1) activity\, which is upregulated in fibrotic fibroblasts compared with controls. siRNA-mediated αTAT1 downregulation in these fibrotic fibroblasts reduced their pro-durotactic phenotype without affecting fibroblast chemotaxis.  In vivo\, αTAT-1-deficient mice were protected from bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis\, as assessed qualitatively by histology and quantitatively by hydroxyproline levels. Together\, we identified a novel mechanism through which gradients of matrix stiffness produced in the injured lung drives the progression of lung fibrosis\, by recruiting additional fibroblasts to sites of injury and incipient fibrosis through durotaxis. We consequently hypothesize that inhibition of fibroblast durotaxis has the potential to be an entirely new therapeutic strategy for IPF and other fibrotic diseases.

SUMMARY:IBEC Seminar: Scaling up in Systems Biology: from a minimal cell to microbiomes
DESCRIPTION:Scaling up in Systems Biology: from a minimal cell to microbiomes\nMaria Lluch Senar\, Design of Biological Systems grup\, Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG)\nUltra-sequencing technologies have allowed the massive identification of human-associated microbiomes. Genome annotations of microbiomes consider conserved ORFs or those encoding for proteins larger than 100aa. However\, growing evidence highlight the existence of a hidden universe of small genes (smORFs) encoding for small peptides (SEPs; <100aa)\, many of them secreted\, being involved in infection and quorum sensing. Also\, in eukaryotes\, small antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are secreted in response to infection. The interplay between these secreted SEPs is essential to control the different human microbiomes to ensure coexistence rather than weakening the host against opportunistic infections. Thus\, determining the smORFome of bacterial-host ecosystems and studying its role in homeostasis are essential. In this seminar\, I will explain how by using different system biology approaches we discovered this layer of small peptides in Mycoplasma pneumoniae and our future plans to study their role in human microbiomes focusing in female reproductive tract.
