Department of Microbiology, College of Medicine, Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea “Intrinsic mechanisms governing B cell discrimination between self and non-self antigens”

Dear colleagues and friends, This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Prof. Milan Hašek (October 4, 1925), a giant of Czech immunology. He was not only an outstanding scientist, immunologist, biologist, and physician, but also an inspiring mentor to an entire generation of researchers, many of whom emigrated after 1968 and became…

“Ontogeny of zebrafish erythropoietic waves” Hematopoiesis is the process of blood formation, which occurs in multiple waves during vertebrate development. In zebrafish, the first wave initiates before 24 hours post-fertilization with the generation of primitive myeloid cells from cephalic mesoderm and primitive erythrocytes in the intermediate cell mass. The first definitive wave is transient, and…

“Role of B cells in central T cell tolerance” Tolerance to self-antigens is a fundamental property of the immune system. During central tolerance induction in the thymus, autoreactive T cells are either eliminated or diverted into the regulatory T cell lineage. Both processes are dependent on the presentation of self-antigens by thymic antigen presenting cells…

“The atlas of placodal development helps to decipher their evolutionary origin” In this talk I will present our single cell and spatial transcriptomics data, which I will place into the light of the current ideas about the placodal evolution. Neurogenic placodes are specialized embryonic ectodermal thickenings in the head that give rise to sensory neurons,…

“Understanding the enteric nervous system development through the avian embryo model: implications for regenerative biology” In this presentation, I will provide an overview of enteric nervous system (ENS) development from the perspective of the avian embryo. The ENS, often referred to as the “second brain,” originates from vagal neural crest cells that migrate into the…

“The immunoregulatory properties of the metabolite itaconate” In this talk I will present my latest findings of the function of immunoregulatory metabolite itaconate. Itaconate accumulates in innate immune cells upon Toll-like receptor stimulation. In response to macrophage activation by lipopolysaccharide, itaconate inhibits inflammasome activation and boosts type I interferon signalling; however, the molecular mechanism of…
