CCB Colloquium – Professor Matthew Tyska, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine
Shaping the epithelial cell surface with actin bundling proteins During differentiation, enterocytes build an extensive apical array of microvilli known as the brush border, which serves to amplify the plasma membrane surface area available for nutrient … Read More

Condensate Biology at the Synapse Brain functioning critically relies on neuronal communication that mainly occurs by chemical signaling at the specialized contacts known as synapses. At synapses, messenger molecules are packed into synaptic vesicles (SVs), which are secreted upon the arrival of an action potential. For neuronal signaling to persist, synapses have to maintain an … Read More
CCB Colloquium – Professor Dingchang Lin, Johns Hopkins University
Electronic and molecular approaches for neural recording: deciphering the brain in space and time Resolving neuronal activity in space and time is a long-sought capability in neuroscience, which is, however, still hard to achieve using existing technologies. In this talk, I will share with the audience our strategies toward this goal via innovations at the device … Read More

Single-molecule biophysical approaches to studying the mechanisms of motor proteins Ribosomes are molecular machines made of protein and RNA that translate mRNA into proteins. The biogenesis of new ribosomes is the most energetically costly process in the cell, accounting for ~60% of all ATP consumed. New ribosomes begin as rRNA, and are sequentially matured through … Read More
