Cell & Molecular Biology Webinars

A virtual conference to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of TRPV4 and scientific discovery across various biological systems.

Dr. Jerrold Turner discusses the barrier function of the intestine, how the permeability of tight junctions in the gut epithelium is modulated, and the impact of this modulation on homeostasis and health.

Inflammation & Immunophysiology: A webinar series covering fundamentals, late-breaking research and novel discoveries in the field of immunophysiology and inflammation sciences.

Michael Czech, PhD discusses adipose tissue “browning” as a treatment for metabolic disease, and presents recent data using light sheet microscopy to visualize functional changes in adipose tissue depots.

Dr. Gilles Martin discusses the cellular basis and reward pathways behind binge drinking behavior and alcohol abuse in rodent models.

Science of Aging – A Physiological & Translational Perspective: A webinar series covering fundamentals, late-breaking research and novel discoveries in the field of aging science.

During this webinar, Dr. Matt Kaeberlein will provide an overview of translational geroscience, which he believes will become the paradigm for the practice of medicine in the 21st century. He will also discuss recent work with one such intervention, the drug rapamycin, and its potential to enhance healthspan in companion dogs and people.

Dr. Rafael Carazo Salas describes the use of multicolour, multiday high-content microscopy to visualise the dynamic cell fate changes of human pluripotent stem cells collectively and at single-cell level.

In this final installment of our Obesity 2020 webinar series, Dr. Lee Kaplan discusses late-breaking research and reviews various mechanisms of action of bariatric and metabolic surgery and how they affect the regulation of energy balance and metabolic function.

Experts discuss how microscopy, electrophysiology, and optogenetics are used to study microglial calcium signaling and epileptic networks in awake head-fixed mice.

Joanna Moore and Kenneth Dyar present applications of the DVC® system from different research perspectives and discuss how home cage monitoring can be used to study animal model development, physiology and behavior

OBESITY SERIES 2020: Camilla Schéele & Christian Wolfrum discuss the physiology of brown adipose tissue and share late-breaking research on the role of BAT in whole body metabolic regulation.
