Structural Biology in vivo by Electron Cryotomography
BIOENGINEERING SEMINAR Abstract: Electron cryotomography (ECT) enables intact cells to be visualized in 3D in an essentially native state to macromolecular (~4 nm) resolution. It has allowed us to visualize the structures of macromolecular machines in their native context inside intact cells. In many cases, such machines cannot be purified intact for in vitro study. ...

Do lincRNAs Contribute to Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Cycle Adaptations?
BIOENGINEERING SEMINAR Abstract: Intergenic long noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are the largest class of transcripts in the human genome and their transcription is pervasive in higher eukaryotes. Functional and evolutionary analyses together with extensive characterization of a handful of lincRNAs support the general consensus that these transcripts contribute to the regulation of gene expression programs and ...

BMI Seminar // Abnormal release of neurotransmitter and Ca2+ influx in presynaptic terminals in cortical neurons of a knock-in mouse model of Huntington’s disease
Hong Kong Huntington’s disease (HD) is a genetic neurodegenerative disorder caused by an abnormal expansion of CAG trinucleotide repeats in the huntingtin gene. Mutant huntingtin (mhtt) proteins induce the progressive neuronal loss from the striatum and cortex, despite of their ubiquitous expression. One possible mechanism of this selective degeneration is that dysfunction in synaptic transmission ...
