Cellular Ecology
IIG seminar
All untransformed cells require specific growth factors for survival and proliferation. Local provision of growth factors determines tissue composition and size. However, the rules that govern growth factor production are largely unknown. Consequently, we do not know how these rules are violated to produce specific patterns of tissue pathology. In this lecture I will discuss our recent study addressing these questions. Using simplified two cell circuit system, we find that certain features of cell circuit topologies enable generation of stable cell composition. These findings will be discus sed in a broader ...

Systemic immunity protects the mind: Can immune checkpoint blockade combat Alzheimer ’ s disease?
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture
It is now widely accepted that immune surveillance is required for supporting brain functional plasticity and repair. Participating cells include the microglia, the resident myeloid immune cells of the brain, circulating monocytes, and CD4+ T cells. Over the years, we demonstrated that leukocytes supporting the brain can gain access to the brain through a unique compartment within the brain territory, the chroid plexus epithelium (CP) at the blood-cerebrospinal fluid-barrier (B-CSF-B), remote from the brain parenchyma. The CP serves as a selective gateway allowing leukocyte entry ...

Multifaceted Functions of Mitochondria in Neuronal Synapses
Director's Seminar Series
The Section on Synapse Development and Synaptic Plasticity led by Dr. Zheng Li is interested in the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying synapse development and synaptic plasticity in normal brains and synaptopathology associated with psychiatric disorders. Our research shows that mitochondria, the vital organelles in eukaryotic cells, not only are essential for the general cell physiology, but also play multifaceted roles in synapses. In hippocampal neurons, the quantify of mitochondria in dendrites determines the density of synapses and dendritic spines. Mitochondria are permeabilized up...

Group 1 innate lymphoid cells in metabolic disease
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are the most recently identified arm of the innate immune system that function to protect epithelial barriers against pathogens and maintain tissue homeostasis. Although ILCs can also promote pathology at mucosal sites such as the gut or lung, it remains unknown whether aberrant activation of tissue-resident ILCs can contribute to disease in non-barrier tissues. Here, we identify a subset of long-term adipose-resident ILC1 that are dependent on the transcription factors Nfil3 and T-bet, but phenotypically and functionally distinct from circulating mature...
