II Workshop on Nanobioscience. In collaboration with IMDEA Nanociencia, CNB researcher Dr Fernando Moreno has organised the II Workshop on Nanobioscience, which will take place on Friday, 18 May 2012 at the IMDEA Nanociencia, on the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid campus.
A label for high sensitivity electron microscopy detection of proteins in mammalian cells. A recent study published in Structure by the group of Dr Cristina Risco describes a novel approach to protein detection in eukaryotic cells, with high specificity and exceptional sensitivity.
EMMA Cryopreservation Workshop. CNB reseracher Lluís Montoliu, coordinator of the Spanish node
of the European Mouse Mutant Archive, chairs the
organization of a Cryopreservation Workshop. It will be held
in Madrid Spanish Research Council main campus on May 7-8 2012.

ROLE OF ACTIN POLYMERIZATION IN NEURITOGENESIS, INFLAMMATION AND METASTASIS Essential physiological processes such as neuronal morphogenesis, cell motility and tissue invasion rely on the spatial and temporal regulation of actin dynamics and therefore, their deregulation is at the root of severe pathologies. Actin reorganization is controlled by nucleation-promoting factors like neural Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (N-WASP) and cortactin, and associated proteins that regulate their activity such as WIP (WASP-interacting protein), a ubiquitously distributed protein that stabilizes actin filaments. Our goal is to define the role of WIP- and WASP-family proteins in actin dynamics within a variety of cellular processes in an array of cell models (fibroblasts, dendritic cells (DC), neurons and astrocytes). |
