SUMMARY:Dept of Biomedical Engineering Seminar: Magnetic Nano-Materials for Neural Stimulation
DESCRIPTION:SEMINAR ANNOUNCEMENT \nTOPIC: Magnetic nano-materials for neural stimulation\nSPEAKER: Andy Tay (PhD ongoing)\, University of California\, Los Angeles\nHOST: Dr Mrinal Musib (biemkm@nus.edu.sg)\nDATE: February 7\, 2017\nTIME: 2-3pm\nVENUE: E4-04-07\, Faculty of Engineering \nABSTRACT\nNeural stimulation techniques for eliciting calcium influx can elucidate the physiological roles of specific neural populations. To overcome some of the limitations of existing techniques such as poor specificity\, we developed a technology for non-invasive control of neural activities using magnetic forces and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Extensive investigations with different neuro-toxins and experimental conditions support that the mechanism of magnetic stimulation that involves membrane-bound MNPs transducing magnetic forces into mechanical stretching of the cell membrane to enhance the opening probability of mechano-sensitive N-type calcium ion channels to induce calcium influx. \nMaking use of the ability of neural networks to actively regulate their ratio of excitatory to inhibitory ion channel/receptor\, we also performed chronic magnetic stimulation on fragile X syndrome (FXS) model neural networks. We found that chronic magnetic stimulation reduced the density of N-type calcium ion channels whose expression is increased in FXS. This technique demonstrates the potential of using bio-magnetic/mechanical forces to modulate expressions of mechano-sensitive ion channels where they are over-expressed such as in abnormal nociception. \nNonetheless\, there are still a few areas where the technique can be improved such as using MNPs with more uniform properties to have greater control on magnetic stimulations. This motivated our study on magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) which produce biological MNPs with superior properties such as uniform sizes and highly homogenous magnetic properties with the goal of harvesting MNPs from them. MTB\, however\, grow extremely slowly and the number of MNPs produced/bacterium is low. One way to overcome this problem is to evolve MTB over-producers of MNPs but this strategy is constrained by the absence of a selection platform that is quantitative and offer high throughput. To overcome this problem\, we combined random chemical mutagenesis and selection using a magnetic ratcheting platform to generate and isolate MTB over-producers that produce twice as many MNPs/bacterium after 5 rounds of mutation/selection. We next designed a magnetic microfluidic device and demonstrate as a proof of concept\, that it can be coupled to a bioreactor for high throughput microfluidic sorting of MTB. \nBIOGRAPHY\nAndy Tay graduated from the NUS Biomedical Engineering Department and Global Engineering Programme with a First Class Honours in 2014. He was awarded the NUS Overseas Graduate Scholarship to pursue his PhD in University of California\, Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defense: Mechanobiology of Cardiac Sarcomere by Pang Si Ming
DESCRIPTION:Mechanobiology of Cardiac Sarcomere\nSpeaker : PANG Si Ming (Graduate Student\, MBI\, NUS)\nDate : 22 Feb 2017\, Wednesday\nTime : 2pm\nVenue : MBI\, level 5 seminar rooms \nSupervisor(s) : Prof YAN Jie \nAbstract: Cardiac titin is one of the three filaments in cardiac sarcomere. During the relaxation of the sarcomere\, the extension of titin increases considerably\, by more than 20% of its total length\, resulting in a build-up of tension. The portion of titin that is mainly responsible for this change in its extension is in the I-Band region\, which contains numerous (43 or more) Ig-like domains with well-defined structures\, and 3 less-structured domains namely N2B\, N2A\, and PEVK. Recent studies have found that force is able to promote the Ig-like domains to undergo stepwise transition\, raising the question of the roles of these transitions in buffering the tension build-up in titin. In addition\, the N2B domain is found to interact with the four-and-a-half-Lim protein (FHL)\, and this interaction is increased with truncated titin which is under higher tension. This raises the question on N2B-FHL as being part of mechanosignalling process. Its mechanism\, however\, remains unknown. This proposal aims to investigate the mechano- transduction and signalling mechanisms in the cardiac titin by using computational simulation and magnetic tweezers. The force-dependent folding/unfolding rates of the Ig-like domains will be measured and used to simulate titin under physiological conditions to determine the role of Ig-like domains in buffering the tension. Moreover\, the interaction between the various domains and their binding partners will be looked at while subjected to forces within the physiological range to better understand its mechanisms. \nALL EXCEPT PANEL ARE EXCUSED FOR CLOSE DOOR EXAMINATION

SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defense: Endothelial progenitor cells in the therapy of endothelial dysfunction by Marek Kukumberg
DESCRIPTION:Endothelial progenitor cells in the therapy of endothelial dysfunction\nSpeaker           :   Marek KUKUMBERG (Graduate Student\, MBI\, NUS)\nDate                 :   22 February 2017\, Wednesday\nTime                :    4pm\nVenue              :   MBI\, T-lab\, level 5 seminar rooms \nSupervisor(s)  :   A/P Evelyn YIM \nAbstract: Cardiovascular diseases and endothelial dysfunction are the leading cause for deaths worldwide.  Therapy options are limited and to minimize endothelial dysfunction and/or restore endothelial function\, new therapy approaches are sought. While the availability of autologous vascular endothelial cells is limited\, other therapeutic cell sources\, such as endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs)\, have been explored. EPCs were shown to play an important role in vascular damage repair.  The quantities and functionality of EPCs in healthy donors and stroke patients were evaluated. The amount of EPCs in stroke patients are higher than the amounts of EPCs in healthy individuals\, however\, with lower functionality. Other therapy options are needed due to the low isolation numbers und decreased functionality in patients. An alternative cell source are bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with low immunomodulation effect and high differentiation potential. In this thesis it is hypothesized that that the biophysical environment with biochemical cues could regulate endothelial cell behaviour and induce the differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) into cells with vasculogenic properties. Utilising the MultiARChitecture (MARC) chip\, we evaluate the influence of topographical cue on endothelial cells followed by a systematic screening of topographical and biochemical cue influence on the endothelial differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). The differentiated hMSCs on selected most efficient patterns and medium compositions are characterised in vitro and their vasculogenic properties evaluated in vivo. \nALL EXCEPT PANEL ARE EXCUSED FOR CLOSE DOOR EXAMINATION

SUMMARY:CBIS Seminar: From translation initiation of hepatitis C virus to dengue genome replication by Dr Bunpote Siridechadilok
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to inform you on the seminar by Dr Bunpote Siridechadilok (hosted by Prof Paul Matsudaira) “From translation initiation of hepatitis C virus to dengue genome replication”. The details are as follows: \nFrom translation initiation of hepatitis C virus to dengue genome replication\nDate: 27 February 2017 (Monday)\nTime: 2.00pm\nVenue: Seminar Room S2-04-15 \nAbstract: For a positive-sense RNA virus\, viral RNA can function as both messenger RNA and the template for genome replication.  Many positive-sense RNA viruses such as hepatitis C virus (HCV)\, dengue\, and Zika have been major problems for global public health.  In this talk\, I will present the results from single-particle cryo-EM analysis of translation initiation complex used by hepatitis C virus and from our ongoing efforts to characterize dengue replication complex. \nAll are welcome.

SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defense: Modulation of Cellular Differentiation and Morphology by Topography and its effects on the primary Cilium by Sharvari Rajeev Sathe
DESCRIPTION:Modulation of Cellular Differentiation and Morphology by Topography and its effects on the primary Cilium\nSpeaker           :   Sharvari Rajeev SATHE (Graduate Student\, MBI\, NUS)\nDate                 :   27 February 2017\, Monday\nTime                :    4:30pm\nVenue              :   MBI\, T-lab\, level 5 seminar rooms \nSupervisor(s)  :   A/P Evelyn YIM \nAbstract: The integration of contact guidance cues during differentiation and migration result in changes at the morphological level of cell and primary cilium architecture. To explore these processes\, firstly\, topography was used as a tool to modulate cell morphology and differentiation of neural progenitor cells. It was revealed that the processes of differentiation and morphology are correlated and these correlations were enhanced in gratings topography. The primary cilium is highly receptive to mechanical cues and is an important modulator of the cell migration process during development. Therefore\, the topographical properties that affect primary cilium architecture were identified. Primary cilia were shown to have a size dependent response to topographical cues with a preference for microgratings. Further\, to understand the influence of primary cilia during migration\, a protein modulator (POPX2 phosphatase) with potential interactions at the primary cilium was employed to study cells on topographical substrates. The observation of enhanced mechanosensitivity of cells led to further inquisition into the roles of the primary cilium during cell movement. Finally\, using topography as a guidance cue\, cellular migration was analyzed along with influences on primary cilium architecture. Thus the presented work will elucidate the capacity of topographically mediated contact guidance to influence the processes of differentiation and migration that cause responses at the morphological level and primary cilium form. \nALL EXCEPT PANEL ARE EXCUSED FOR CLOSE DOOR EXAMINATION
