SUMMARY:Conference: XII Recontres du Vietnam\, Quy Nhon: Mechanobiology\, from Molecules to Tissue
DESCRIPTION:Mechanobiology\, from Molecules to Tissue\nThis conference will cover the fundamentals\, recent advances and emerging issues related to mechanobiology. It will provide a unique opportunity to advance knowledge and understanding in the area of force-sensing in biology. This field intrinsically implies interdisciplinary approaches combining biology with physics\, optics and computer modeling. Moreover\, mechanobiology is being increasingly appreciated as being of primary importance in a plethora of biological processes\, including development and cancer. \nHow living cells are able to sense their environment and adequately respond in terms of shape\, migration\, proliferation\, differentiation\, and survival remains one of the most fascinating issues in cell biology. This is particularly obvious in the context of embryonic development\, where the complex architectural multi-scale organization of tissues is elaborated. Conversely\, tumor evolution and metastasis is associated to dysfunctions of cell adhesion that frequently lead to the loss of tissue homeostasis. Thus\, numerous and various biological processes (e.g. morphogenesis\, tissue repair\, and cancer invasion) are governed by the response of mechanical signals and their conversion into biochemical ones. Several general features emerge from these descriptions that seem to be of a very universal nature. During this conference\, we propose to cover a large spectrum of these aspects. In particular\, the conference will provide an overview of the mechanosensitive signaling pathways at the level of single cell and tissues\, with a detailed description of the original experimental methods commonly used in this field\, as well as including presentation of the necessary theoretical approaches in order to understand and model force generation and propagation in active biological matter. \nLearn more at rencontresduvietnam.org/conferences/2016/mechanobiology/

SUMMARY:MBI Seminar: Biosensor platforms for molecular analyses of circulating exosomes by Shao Huilin
DESCRIPTION:Title: Biosensor platforms for molecular analyses of circulating exosomes \nDr. Huilin SHAO\nJunior Investigator\nInstitute of Molecular and Cell Biology\nAgency for Science\, Technology and Research \nAbout the speaker: Huilin Shao received her B.A. from Cornell University\, with a double major in Biological Sciences and in Physics. She completed her PhD degree in Biophysics from Harvard University\, under the guidance of Prof. Ralph Weissleder and Robert S. Langer. Concurrently\, she finished her dual PhD program in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics\, Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology (HST)\, Harvard Medical School. After a postdoctoral fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital\, Huilin joined IMCB\, A*STAR\, as a junior investigator. Her research focuses on developing integrated nanotechnology-based platforms for molecular analyses of novel biomarkers. \nSeminar abstract: The growing emphasis on personalized medicine significantly increases the need to analyze key molecular markers. In comparison to tissue biopsies\, circulating biomarkers (liquid biopsies) can be conveniently and repeatedly obtained from biofluids with minimal complications. In particular\, exosomes have recently emerged as a promising circulating biomarker. Exosomes are nanometer-sized membrane vesicles actively shed off by cells and possess unique advantages: they abound in biofluids\, readily cross the blood brain barrier and harbor diverse molecular contents. A sensor platform capable of sensitive and rapid detection of exosomes would thus be an invaluable tool in translating their clinical potential. In this talk\, I will describe various systems that I have developed for quantitative analyses of circulating cancer exosomes. By enabling rapid\, sensitive and cost-effective detection of circulating biomarkers\, these platforms could significantly expand the reach of preclinical and clinical research\, in informing therapy selection\, rationally directing trials\, and improving sequential monitoring to achieve better clinical outcomes.
