Neuronal Response to Injury and Stress: Insights from C. elegans
NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series Yishi Jin is interested in identifying the molecular mechanisms controlling synapse formation and axon guidance in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Neurons employ many mechanisms to sustain function throughout lifetime. Following traumatic injury to axons, neurons often initiate complex responses to regenerate and repair. To understand the underlying mechanisms, we established in vivo laser axotomy assay in C. elegans. Using live imaging, we characterized rapid cellular dynamics following axon injury. We carried out large-scale genetic screening and discovered sever...

Imaging Inflammation Resolution and Wound Repair
Speaker Anna Huttenlocher's research focuses on understanding the basic molecular mechanisms that regulate cell movement — in the context of wound healing, inflammation and cancer. Cell migration plays a central role in many different disease processes including cancer, heart disease and autoimmune disease. Insight into the mechanisms that regulate cell migration will contribute to our understanding of basic cellular processes, but will also aid in the identification of new treatment strategies for a wide variety of medical conditions. Despite extensive interest in the receptors and mechanisms involved during cell migrat...

Single-Molecule Studies of Homologous Recombination
Speaker Eric Greene uses single-molecule optical microscopy to study fundamental interactions between proteins and nucleic acids. " Our overall goal is to reveal the molecular mechanisms that cells use to repair, maintain, and decode their genetic information. This research combines aspects of biochemistry, physics, and nanoscale technology to answer questions about complex biological problems that cannot be easily addressed through traditional biochemical approaches. As part of our work, we have established robust experimental platforms that enable single molecule imaging of biochemical reaction mechanisms in a “ high t...

Engineering Human Tissues for Medical Impact
The newly established Biomedical Engineering Scientific Interest Group (BMESIG) is launching a seminar series, to start on Tuesday, Oct. 12 at 1 p.m. with a lecture by Dr. Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic, director of the Laboratory for Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering at Columbia University. The inaugural speaker Vunjak-Novakovic has pioneered the use of stem cell engineering to grow tissue. Working primarily in the field of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, Vunjak-Novakovic ’ s lab has successfully grown bone grafts that match a patient ’ s original jawbone for facial reconstruction surgery to repair injuries, disea...

Wound Repair: Dealing with Life's Little Traumas
Speaker Susan Parkhurst, Ph.D. is Professor, Basic Sciences Division, Fred Hutch. Parkhurst studies the cytoskeleton, the cell ’ s internal framework. The cytoskeleton is a dynamic structure, constantly forming and breaking down to meet the cell ’ s changing needs, including changes in shape and movement. Problems with building and deconstructing the cytoskeleton arise in many human diseases. Wound healing, in which cells move to fill a gap, and the organization of the nucleus, the cell ’ s DNA storeroom, rely on the cytoskeleton. Dr. Parkhurst studies its roles in these normal conditions and what goes wrong in cance...
