    Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series

    The majority of human pathogenic fungi are soil-dwelling microbes that have no obvious need for animal hosts. This raises a fundamental question in microbial pathogenesis: Why do some of these organisms cause disease in mammals? In this lecture we will dissect the biology of the human pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans in an effort to glean an explanation for the origin of virulence. C. neoformans is an intracellular pathogen with a remarkable replicative strategy that includes the capacity for exciting the host cell without triggering its lysis. This process involves inflicting just enough damage to the host cell to interfere with its microbicidal properties without triggering cell-death pathways such that intracellular replication can proceed unhindered while the host cell remains alive to participate in the exit of fungal cells. The similarity in the interactions between cryptococcal cells with macrophages and amoeba has led to the proposal that the cells` capacity for mammalian virulence emerged accidentally as a result of environmental interactions with phagocytic predators. In this lecture we will also explore the fascinating properties of melanin, an enigmatic pigment that performs a myriad of functions from enhancing cell-wall integrity to energy transduction. We will also consider some of the immunological lessons from studying C. neoformans, which produced important insights into novel antibody protective functions. Finally, we will look at the big picture of fungal pathogenesis and explore the concept of accidental virulence and the likelihood that global warming will bring new fungal diseases.

  • NIH VideoCast - The Generation of Cortical Interneuron Diversity: Both Nurture and Nature
    • - Gordon Fishell, Ph.D., New York University (2015/03/31)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Neuroscience Seminar Series

    The Fishell laboratory is focused on how the diversity of local circuit GABAergic inhibitory interneurons is created. Understanding how this is accomplished during development remains one of the most daunting problems in biology. In particular, they wish to understand not only how the vast variety of inhibitory interneuron subtypes are generated but how they subsequently integrate into the bewildering array of neural circuits that are embedded in different brain structures. Their working hypothesis is that this is achieved through a two-step process. The first involves genetic programs that in accordance with their birthdate create a finite number of cardinal interneuron subtypes (Research Topic 1 - The Embryonic Specification of Interneurons). Following the tiling of these newly born cardinal subtypes across different brain structures, local cues act to create the definitive subtypes characteristic of the distinct cortical and subcortical areas (Research Topic 2 - Interneuron Integration and Synapse Formation). Importantly, as they have explored the molecular control of these events, it has become clear that perturbation of this process can result in a variety of brain dysfunctions including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability (ID) and schizophrenia. A new and growing interest in the laboratory is therefore aimed at seeing if better understanding of these developmental events can lead to the development of new treatments for these disorders (Research Topic 3 - Interneuron Function and Dysfunction).

    NIH Director`s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture

    A search for the origin of our adaptive immune system has revealed that the jawed vertebrates and jawless vertebrates (lampreys and hagfish) use different strategies for generating large repertoires of lymphocyte receptors for antigens. Whereas lymphocytes in jawed vertebrates undergo RAG-mediated recombinatorial assembly of immunoglobulin V, D, and J gene segments to generate diverse T-cell receptor (TCR) and B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoires, lymphocytes in jawless vertebrates employ leucine-rich repeat (LRR) gene segments as templates to complete the assembly of variable lymphocyte receptor (VLR) genes. Three VLR loci (VLRA, VLRB and VLRC) undergo independent assembly during the differentiation of three distinct lymphocyte lineages. The VLRA-bearing and VLRC-bearing lymphocytes have genetic programs and phenotypic characteristics that resemble those of certain T cells of jawed vertebrates, whereas the VLRB-bearing cells resemble B cells. Dr. Cooper???s lab concludes that the basic genetic programs for the T- and B-cell lineages were already present in a common vertebrate ancestor more than 500 million years ago, prior to the convergent evolution of different types of anticipatory receptors.

    • - Dr. George Hajishengallis, Professor of Microbiology, Penn Dental Medicine (2015/03/31)
    • - Category : Geroscience
    The Trans-NIH GeroScience Interest Group (GSIG) cordially invites you to its winter seminar, featuring Dr. George Hajishengallis. Dr. Hajishengallis is a Professor of Microbiology at Penn Dental Medicine. His field of interest lies at the interface of microbial pathogenesis and immunity, and his work has illuminated important mechanisms of immunopathogenesis of well-adapted pathogens that exploit the human immune system and subvert it to their own advantage. His interests also include the impact of aging on inflammatory diseases.

    The GeroScience Interest Group (GSIG) was formed to enhance opportunities for discussion of the intersection between the biology of aging and the biology of disease and conditions that are of interest across ICs. It is focused on basic biology, but with a longer view towards translation. If you are interested in learning more, please visit the GSIG web site http://sigs.nih.gov/geroscience/Pages/default.aspx.
