Event

Physics Colloquium: "Cellular protrusion generation and length scale depend on curvature cues and actin network balances" Presented by Dr. Michael Henderson - Bowdoin College

Location:
LL 316
-
Some of the most noticeable changes in the shape of a cell membrane are the formation of finger-like protrusions such as short filopodia (typically <5 μm long) that assist in environmental sensing and cell migration or tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) that connect cells up to 100 μm away…

Physics Colloquium: "3D printing cytoskeletal networks: ROS-induced filament severing leads to surge in actin polymerization" Presented by Dr. Thomas Lischel

Location:
Lewis Lab 316
-
The cytoskeletal protein actin forms a spatially organized biopolymer network that plays a central role in many cellular processes. Actin filaments continuously assemble and disassemble, enabling cells to rapidly reorganize their cytoskeleton. Filament severing accelerates actin…
