Muscle Stem Cells Get a New Look: Dynamic Cellular Projections As Sensors of the Stem Cell NicheMechanisms whereby quiescent stem cells sense tissue injury and transition to an activated state are largely unknown. Quiescent skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSCs) have elaborate, heterogeneous projections that rapidly retract in response to muscle injury; the cytoskeletal changes associated with retraction in turn promote downstream MuSC activation events. MuSC projections ...
Much high-impact research in the chemical and biological sciences, particularly that which underlies innovations in medicine, began with curiosity about the structures and mechanisms of bioactive small molecules. In search of potentially transformative discoveries, my research group is focused on molecules that are anomalous by virtue of their structures and ...

Geography and Inequity: Key Structural Determinants of Health in the USHave you ever wondered why certain states in the US have better health outcomes than others? What happened historically that this is the case today, and how does it influence our present-day reality? Speaker: Sarah Hooper, UC Law San FranciscoAttend in person or online (see weblink)Room E126
Autonomous systems, such as self-driving cars, are starting to pop up in the world around us. These systems use complex combinations of model-based and data-driven algorithms to make real-time, safety-critical decisions. In this talk, I will provide some thoughts (and hopefully insights) into what engineers need to do to convince ...
