WALS: The Structure and Mechanism of Cell Surface Signaling Complexes
Yvonne Jones is co-Head of STRUBI and Deputy Head of the NDM. Her own research group is focused on the structural biology of extracellular recognition and signaling complexes. The group's core techniques include protein crystallography and cryo electron microscopy, which are used to generate high resolution structural information. Importantly, studies using these techniques are integrated with advanced light microscopy and cryo electron tomography, as well as cell-based functional studies, to probe molecular mechanisms at the cell surface. The group's research addresses fundamental questions about cell-cell signaling syste...

WALS Lecture: Leveraging Genetics and Cell Signaling to Decipher Disorders of Excitability
Presentation Objectives: To understand how genetic testing illuminates the causes of a devastating disease, Sudden Unexpected Death in Childhood, and identifies dysfunctional calcium signaling as a major cause; To chart a course for how genetic analysis of neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder will spur understanding the impact of non-coding variations in key signaling proteins; To appreciate how genetics highlights underappreciated signaling molecules that coordinate excitatory and inhibitory synaptic strength and provide a target for cannabidiol (CBD) action in e...

NIH ProtIG Seminar: The role of long-lived proteins in aging and Alzheimer ’ s disease
Loss of proteostasis is a hallmark of aging, and aging is the greatest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Deterioration in function and accumulation of damage to the proteome are largely repaired by protein turnover. These turnover mechanisms are particularly important in long-lived postmitotic neurons, which cannot dilute toxic proteins through cell division. We aimed to identify extremely long-lived proteins (ELLP) that persist for several months or longer across the aging continuum in wild-type mice and in genetic AD mouse models. We hypothesize that these ELLPs represent key points of vulnerability to the declin...

Sensing Inflammation in the Skin and Beyond
The type 2 immune response has evolved to arm the mammalian host with the capacity to expel parasites and noxious environmental substances from barrier surfaces. One critical aspect of this defense mechanism is stimulating protective behavioral responses such as coughing, sneezing, and scratching. Increasingly, it is appreciated that cytokines associated with type 2 immunity such as IL-4, IL-13, and IL-31 play critical roles in triggering mechanical reflexes like itch via direct interactions with sensory neurons. However, the tissue- and cell-specific manner in which these cytokines imprint unique sensory and neuroinflamma...

NIH Director's Seminar Series: Neural mechanisms of human episodic memory formation
Memory is critical to our everyday experience. We rely upon our memories not only to form our own sense of identity, but also to guide and plan our future actions and behaviors. Understanding the neural mechanisms that underlie human memory formation is therefore critical in order to effectively treat memory disorders which are present in some of the most debilitating yet poorly managed neurological diseases. Our research efforts are focused on investigating the neural correlates of human episodic memory formation by leveraging the opportunities to directly record neural activity across multiple spatial scales from the hum...
