“Primary Cilia in Bone Marrow Niche Regulation” Primary cilia are small sensory organelles that regulate cellular signaling, but their role in the bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) niche is still not well understood. Here, we show that MSCs possess primary cilia both in vivo and in vitro and are mainly located around blood vessels…

“Where Blood Begins: Decoding Early Embryonic Hematopoiesis” Despite the central role of bone marrow in postnatal hematopoiesis, the first blood cells in mammalian development arise in the yolk sac, and their activity is essential for successful embryonic development. Progenitors of all three hematopoietic waves coexist in overlapping temporal and spatial windows and share many molecular…

Lucie Láníková Krev je tekutina, bez které nemůžeme žít – a přesto o ní většinou víme překvapivě málo. Jak vlastně vznikla během evoluce? Proč je červená? Kolik kyslíku dokáže přenést? A co se stane, když se její jemně vyladěný systém porouchá? Přednáška vás provede příběhem krve od prvních jednoduchých organismů bez oběhového systému až po…

„Deciphering contractile fibroblasts in the developing mammary gland“ Mammary gland development relies on coordinated interactions between the epithelium and its surrounding stroma. Although fibroblasts are key regulators of tissue morphogenesis, their diversity and specific functions during mammary development remain poorly understood. We recently uncovered previously unrecognized heterogeneity among mammary fibroblasts and identified a transient, niche-forming…

Wiring Specificity of Neural Circuits Developing brains use a limited number of cell-surface proteins to instruct wiring specificity of a much larger number of neurons and synapses. How is this feat achieved? How do different cell-surface proteins work together to assemble a functional circuit? To address these questions, I will first describe our work using…
