  • How hybrid mass spectrometers with multiple analyzers and dissociation methods will transform protein sequence analysis
    • - Joshua Coon (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Proteomics
    We describe the use of new mass spectrometry technology ??? an ETD-enabled Orbitrap ??? to characterize and quantify proteomes. The new instrument allows for the implementation of multiple dissociation methods, /i.e./, ion trap CAD, beam-type CAD (HCD), and ETD, and for the automated selection of each in a real-time based on multiple precursor attributes (/i.e./, data-dependent decision tree). Protein quantification is readily accomplished through use of isotopic labels ??? either SILAC or iTRAQ. The instrument will likewise propel top-down proteomics as acquisition of ETD-MS/MS spectra in the high resolving power Orbitrap allows for direct analysis of intact proteins on a sub-second timescale with ~ 300 ppb mass accuracies. Such mass accuracies are used to directly annotate ETD tandem mass spectral peaks with ion type and chemical composition. We demonstrate these and many other aspects of the instrument on a variety of applications involving human ES cells, differentiating human ES cells, and induced-pluripotent cells.

  • T cells That See Antigens Independently of MHC (NIH-Only)
    • - Alfred Singer, M.D. (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : NCI CCR Grand Rounds (NIH Only)
    Dr. Singer is Chief of the Experimental Immunology Branch, CCR, NCI. He received his B.S. from MIT and his M.D. from Columbia University and has been working in the field of T cell development for over 30 years. He is a highly original and creative scientist who has made many important contributions to our understanding of T cell immunology and T cell development in the thymus, including such original discoveries as the role of self antigens in thymic selection; thymic crosstalk (the regulation of thymic epithelial cell differentiation by thymocytes); coreceptor tuning (the adjustment of CD8 coreceptor expression levels on T cells to the self-specificity of their TCR), coreceptor reversal (the genetic basis for selection and generation of cytotoxic lineage T cells in the thymus); and the requirement for costimulation for clonal deletion in the thymus. His most recent work has solved two important problems in T cell immunology: how and why the thymus selects an exclusively MHC-restricted T cell receptor repertoire and how CD4/CD8 lineage choice is determined during thymocyte development.

    Dr. Singer has published over 215 papers and reviews and has served on editorial boards of many journals, including serving as Reviews Editor for Immunity and Advisory Editor for The Journal of Experimental Medicine. He has served on numerous Scientific Advisory Boards including advising the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN; the National Health Research Institute in Taiwan; the MRC Center for Immune Regulation in Birmingham, England; the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes in Denver, CO; and he currently serves as Chairman of the Visiting Professor Advisory Committee for Chiba University in Chiba, Japan.

  • NCCAM Distingushed Lecture - Chinese Medicine, Western Science, and Acupuncture
    • - Nuland, Sherwin B.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : NCCAM Lectures
    NCCAM will hold the inaugural lecture of the Stephen E. Straus Distinguished Lecture in the Science of Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Dr. Sherwin B. Nuland, clinical professor of surgery at Yale University and distinguished author, will present the first lecture ???Chinese Medicine, Western Science, and Acupuncture.??? During visits to China, Nuland observed major surgery done with no anesthesia, aided by acupuncture. In the Straus lecture, he will describe these operations and tell of his experience. In his recent book, The Uncertain Art, Nuland wrote ???the basis of acupuncture???s practical usefulness, even in the operating room, has still not been explained in terms acceptable to most orthodox Western scientists using orthodox Western investigative methods ... The effectiveness of correctly applied acupuncture is not our only evidence that there are undeniable phenomena that cannot ...be explained by the investigational methods of today???s biomedical science.???

    Sherwin B. Nuland, M.D. is clinical professor of surgery at the Yale School of Medicine and a member of the executive committee of Yales Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics. He serves as research affiliate in the Program for the History of Science and Medicine and as a fellow of the Institution for Social and Policy Studies.

    Dr. Nuland is a graduate of the Bronx High School of Science and New York University. In 1955, he received his medical degree from Yale University and went on to complete his surgical training at the Yale-New Haven Medical Center. Dr. Nuland has treated more than 10,000 patients during his 30 years as a practicing surgeon. It was Dr. Nuland???s position as the chairman of the Yale-China Association medical committee that enabled him to make observations about the techniques and results of surgical acupuncture.

    A noted author, Dr. Nuland has written 11 books relating to medicine, including The New York Times bestseller and National Book Award winning How We Die, as well as The Uncertain Art: Thoughts on a Life in Medicine. He has also written for The New Yorker, The New York Times, The New Republic, Time, and the New York Review of Books. The Soul of Medicine, Dr. Nuland???s most recent contribution to the literary world, is set to be released April 2009.

    This is the first lecture in a series established in honor of Dr. Stephen E. Straus, founding director of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and an internationally recognized clinician-scientist, who died in 2007. The series brings leading figures in science and medicine to the NIH to speak about their perspective on the field of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). The lectures shed light on the evolution of CAM practice and research, and the current use of CAM by the public.

  • NCI and NIH Mitochondria Interest Group Seminar: Johns Hopkins Pedersen Addresses Role of Mitochondria in Cancer
    • - Sponsored by the NCI and NIH (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Special
    The National Cancer Institute along with the National Institutes of Healths Mitochondria Interest Group invites you to attend an upcoming seminar featuring Dr. Peter Pedersen, Professor of Biological Chemistry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

    Mitochondrial defects have long been suspected to play an important role in the development and progression of cancer. More than 70 years ago, Warburg pioneered the research on mitochondrial respiration alterations in the context of cancer and proposed a mechanism to explain how they evolve during the carcinogenic process. Dr. Pedersens laboratory investigates the relationship of cell energetics to molecular medicine and cancer. Both mitochondrial and glycolytic processes are being studied at the tissue, cell, and molecular level. The relationships of these processes to cancer also are being studied with the objective of discovering and developing new therapies.

    Dr. Pedersens seminar will explore novel opportunities on further understanding the pathogenesis and improving the treatment of cancer as it specifically relates to the mitochondria.

  • Imaging Circuit Assembly in the Developing Retina
    • - Rachel Wong, Ph.D., Department of Biological Structure, University of Washington (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Dr. Wong studies the development of neural circuits. Her lab applies a multidisciplinary approach to investigate how retinal circuits in zebra fish and mice are assembled appropriately during development. She uses in vivo and in vitro imaging approaches to determine how the unique axonal and dendritic morphologies of all classes of retinal neurons are established during development. She uses transgenic animals lacking specific forms of neurotransmission to examine the role of cell-cell interactions in specifying neuronal structure and connectivity. She also combines imaging methods with electrophysiology approaches to determine how functional circuits are established, and to relate structural changes to neuronal processing.

    Systems Biology Speaker Series

    To promote our understanding of the normal and abnormal function of the heart by integrating our knowledge collected at the molecular and the cellular levels, we have developed a multi-scale and multi-physics computer simulation of the heart. This simulator is based on the finite element method and consists of approximately 0.6 million elements for mechanical computation and 20 million elements for electrophysiology and incorporates mathematical models of cardiac excitation-contraction processes in each element. Its morphology is based on multi-detector CT data and has both ventricles and atria with aortic arch. In our model, fiber orientation was mapped and the conduction system was modeled with characteristic electrophysiology. Upon stimulation applied to the pacemaker site, excitation propagates to the adjacent elements resulting in the synchronous contraction and relaxation of the heart. In addition, because the fluid part representing the blood was also modeled and solved simultaneously with the structural part we can reproduce the blood flow in the atria, ventricles and aorta. Such features of the simulator enable us to extract various data and present them as we do in the clinical laboratories. These data includes ECG, UCG, Doppler ECG, Magneto-cardiogram etc. In the presentation, we will show some preliminary data generated with a diseased heart model. http://www.sml.k.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/report/report01a.html
