- - Rod MacKinnon, M.D., 2003 Nobel Laureate, Rockefeller University (2010/03/04)
- - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
- Ion channels are responsible for generating electrical impulses and mediating numerous cellular processes. To accomplish their tasks in biology ion channels must exhibit two basic properties, selectivity and gating. Selectivity refers to the property of high fidelity discrimination among similar ions, while gating refers to protein conformational changes that open a channel in response to specific stimuli such as ligand binding or membrane voltage. Recent developments on the molecular principles of selectivity and gating in potassium channels will be presented.

- To Kill or To Cure: Options in Host Defense Against Viral Infections
-
- - Francis V. Chisari, M.D., The Scripps Research Institute (2010/03/04)
- - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
- The end result of a successful host response to viral infection is thought to be production of neutralizing antibodies and the destruction of infected cells. In this presentation I will use the hepatitis B and C viruses as model systems to describe our studies that identified a third antiviral effector function of the immune response, i.e. the secretion of antiviral cytokines that can purge viruses from infected cells without killing them. I will also discuss our knowledge of the intracellular signaling cascades and intracellular antiviral mechanisms that mediate these effects, the structural and nonstructural elements within candidate viruses that are targeted by these cytokines, and the ability of these mechanisms to prevent viral spread and cure infected cells.

- - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
- In this lecture I will address the role of transcription factors in setting up specific cellular programs. The emphasis will be the functional significance of a specific class of transcription factors, Pax4 and Pax6 in the differentiation of the islets of Langerhans and the possibility to utilize these factors in the regeneration of insulin-producing B-cells.
