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

PhD Discussion: Isabela Fortunato y Marina Martinez

Sala Baobab, Tower I, Floor 11 Baldiri i Reixac, Barcelona

Cell migration up and down fibronectin gradients Isabela Fortunato, Integrative cell and tissue dynamics group The 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, ... Read more

Spatial single-cell metabolomics reveals metabolic cell states EMBL Recent discoveries put metabolism into the spotlight. Metabolism not only fuels cells but also plays key roles in health and disease. In parallel, emerging single-cell technologies opened a new world of cell types and states previously hidden beneath population averages. Yet, methods for discovering links between metabolism, ...

IBEC Seminar: Loris Rizzello

Sala Baobab, Tower I, Floor 11 Baldiri i Reixac, Barcelona

Towards an evolutionary-driven universal therapy against (intracellular) pathogens Università degli Studi di Milano We are living a time where we believe antibiotics are the cornerstone of any infectious disease-based therapy. It is definitely out of question that antibiotics saved millions of people worldwide in the last century, and that they are still doing it very ... Read more
