SUMMARY:PhD Discussions: Ignasi Granero
DESCRIPTION:Ignasi Granero\, Celular and molecular mechanobiology group \nIn eukaryotic cells\, the cell nucleus contains the DNA and directs the reaction to important signalling cascades\, both biochemical and biomechanical. At the Cellular and Molecular Mechanobiology lab we study how forces and the physical characteristics of the cell environment affect cell behaviour and homeostasis. In my case\, I am interested in how the cell nucleus senses physical changes and triggers a cell response to them.\nFor this purpose\, we have engineered a battery of fluorescent proteins\, which change their location depending on the physical state of the nucleus. Higher forces in the nucleus correspond with higher nuclear accumulation of these proteins. Indicating that these proteins react to mechanical/morphological stimuli. Then\, we have chosen the variant that can be used as a mechano-sensor. Currently\, we are testing the sensor in single- and multi-cell approaches to understand its behaviour in different systems and the ruling principles under its functioning. \nThis PhD Discussion will be held online using the GoToMeeting app

SUMMARY:Online IBEC Seminar: Xavier Fernàndez-Busquets
DESCRIPTION:Nanomalaria group: 20 years at IBEC\nXavier Fernàndez-Busques\, group leader of the Nanomalaria group at IBEC \nWe will start by briefly looking at the origins of our group back in 2001 as part of IBEC’s embryo\, the Research Center for Bioelectronics and Nanobioscience. Our current activities integrate two decades of cumulative research oriented to the development of targeted nanocarriers for parasitic diseases with focus on malaria but currently expanding to leishmaniasis. \nBecause eventual antimalarial nanomedicines need to be deployed in low per capita income regions\, their final components must take into account this particular economic landscape. Liposomes and polymeric nanocarriers offer advantages and suffer from limitations depending on the severity of the disease in each particular clinical case. Entering erythrocytes\, the host cell of Plasmodium in the blood circulation\, is a challenge in itself due to their lack of endocytic processes. Antibodies\, polysaccharides like heparin\, synthetic polymers and DNA aptamers have been used to target and eventually penetrate red blood cells. \nFinally\, we have recently launched an effort to discover new antimalarial drugs that should constitute the third and final element in the design of targeted nanocarriers for malaria. The know-how acquired in the development of nanocapsules\, targeting elements and drugs has the capacity of being exported to other infectious diseases. Because\, no matter how cost-efficient you can make a nanomedicine\, clinical trials will significantly increase its cost\, we are exploring a radical alternative: designing nanocarriers to target the parasites in their arthropod vectors. \nMore information about Xavier’s research here \nThis seminar will be held using the TEAMS app \n

SUMMARY:Online IBEC Seminar: Pau Gorostiza
DESCRIPTION:Electrochemically Gated Charge Transport in Redox Proteins and Photosynthetic Complexes\n\nPau Gorostiza\, group leader of the Nanoprobes and nanoswitches group at IBEC \nInterprotein electron transport is an essential process in cell respiration and photosynthesis. It takes place between redox proteins and complexes\, and it displays an outstanding efficiency and environmental adaptability. Although the biochemistry of electron transport processes is well characterized\, nanoscale experimental methods are needed to understand electronic pathways in these redox protein structures\, both for fundamental and for technological purposes. Electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (ECSTM) is an excellent tool to study electronic materials and redox molecules including proteins. It offers single molecule resolution and allows working in aqueous solution\, in nearly physiological conditions in the case of proteins\, and under full electrochemical control. ECSTM also allows performing conductance measurements by current-potential and current-distance tunneling spectroscopy. An overview of these methods and current projects in the laboratory will be presented\, with special emphasis on cytochromes of the respiratory chain and on photosystem I complexes. \nMore information about Pau Gorostiza’s research here \nThis seminar will be held using the TEAMS app
