“Impact of Medulloblastoma-Derived Extracellular Vesicles on Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells” Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. Recent advances in understanding its genetic and molecular heterogeneity have uncovered at least four distinct subgroups, each characterized by unique transcriptional profiles, DNA alterations and clinical outcomes. Extracellular vesicle secretion has emerged as a critical mediator… Více

Conserved mechanism of Xrn1 regulation by glycolytic flux and protein aggregation Lecturer: Satyendra Mondal, MSc. / Department of Functional Organisation of Biomembranes Annotation: The regulation of eukaryotic gene expression via mRNA degradation is an evolutionarily conserved process, with the 5'-3' exoribonuclease 1 (Xrn1) playing a pivotal role. In yeast, following the depletion of fermentable carbon source,… Více
“Unravelling autoimmunity in Addison’s disease using a new mouse model” Autoimmune Addison's disease is a disorder targeting steroid-producing cells in the adrenal glands. Due to the lack of suitable animal models, the immune mechanisms underlying adrenal destruction remain largely unknown. To address this, we developed the first defined mouse model of experimental autoimmune adrenalitis by… Více

“Homologous Recombination - From Repair of DSBs to Processing Stalled Replication Forks and Human Diseases” Our lab focuses on the mechanisms ensuring accurate DNA replication and the role of homologous recombination (HR) in preventing genome instability. We investigate how endogenous hard-to-replicate regions, G-quadruplexes (G4) and R-loops, impact replication and contribute to disease development. A key… Více
Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, Heidelberg “Viruses of unicellular eukaryotes: A tale of giants and hyperparasites” Viruses of protists play important roles in ecology and evolution by influencing microbial population dynamics and shaping eukaryotic genomes by endogenization. Of particular interest are complex DNA viruses whose particle and genome sizes overlap with those of bacteria.… Více

“CRL4COP1 ubiquitination complex as a balancer of early odontogenesis” Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL) complexes have been heavily studied in connection to cancer progression but there is limited evidence about their physiological roles. One of the exceptions is disruption of limb development by thalidomide induced by inhibition of CRL4 complex via regulation of Fgf8 (Ito et… Více
