Deafness is the most common form of sensory impairment in humans and frequently of genetic origin. Using mouse models, we have been investigating the mechanisms
Abstract: In cells, microtubules are well known for supporting the directed transport of vesicles during interphase and chromosomes during mitosis. However, they are not just
Mechanotransduction was perhaps the last major sensory modality not understood at the molecular level. Proteins and ion channels that sense mechanical force are thought to
Stein will talk about “Genome-to-function modeling”. Stein is the founding director of the VIB Center for AI and Computational Biology in Leuven, Belgium. His lab uses
In vitro 3D organoid cultures are emerging as novel systems to study tissue development, organogenesis, and stem cell behavior ex-vivo. Organoids are multicellular structures that
The cerebral cortex controls our higher cognitive capacities and helps define us as humans. Cortical development is orchestrated by neural progenitors which give rise to
