Adaptive and Maladaptive Myeloid Cell Production

Emmanuelle Passegué · Director of the Columbia Stem Cell Initiative and Professor Emeritus of Genetics and Development at Columbia University

…and metabolic responses of stem and progenitor cells that accelerate myeloid-cell output. It then examines how persistent or misdirected activation of these emergency mechanisms can contribute to chronic inflammatory disease and cancer.

Environmental Crosstalk and Bone Marrow Niche Regulation

Emmanuelle Passegué · Director of the Columbia Stem Cell Initiative and Professor Emeritus of Genetics and Development at Columbia University

This lecture examines how bone-marrow structure and stromal cells regulate blood-forming stem and progenitor cells. It reviews technologies that reveal the spatial organisation and signalling relationships of these populations. Particular attention is given to mesenchymal stromal cells, blood-lineage production and responses to infection and inflammation.

Gene regulatory mechanisms of neocortex development and evolution

Mareike Albert · Center for Regenerative Therapies, Dresden University of Technology, Germany

…during development by neural stem and progenitor cells. Epigenetic mechanisms play a pivotal role in orchestrating the behaviour of stem cells during development. We are interested in the mechanisms that regulate gene expression in neural stem cells, which have implications for our understanding of neocortex development an

Cellular and genetic mechanisms of cerebral cortex folding

Víctor Borrell · Instituto de Neurociencias, Alicante

…particularly linked to neural stem and progenitor cells. Key mechanisms include high rates of neurogenesis, high abundance of basal Radial Glia Cells (bRGCs), and neuron migration, all of which are intertwined during development. We have also shown that primary cortical folds follow highly stereot

Assembly of the neocortex

Song-Hai Shi (China), Lynette Lim (Belgium), Alfredo Molina (UK), Tomasz Nowakowski (USA)

…Molina will deal with the “Tuneable progenitor cells to build the cerebral cortex”, and Prof Tomasz Nowakowski will present “Charting the molecular 'protomap' of the human cerebral cortex using single cell genomic”.

Cell Fate Determination in the Retina

Constance Cepko · Harvard Medical School & HHMI

…that the retina has distinct types of progenitor cells that are biased, or committed, to produce distinct types of daughter cells in terminal divisions. The gene regulatory networks that underlie these cell fate choices are being studied by analysis of both gene function and cis-regulatory networks. New methods that enable these studies have been developed, including high throughput enhancer assays and quantitative, inexpe
