FlynnHarvard Stem Cell Institute"Cell surface glycoRNA biology"Host: CRG PhD Community - Gregor DiensthuberAbstract:Glycans traditionally modify lipids and proteins to mediate inter- and intramolecular interactions across all domains of life, while RNA has not been thought to be a major target of glycosylation. I will discuss evidence for the discovery of glycoRNAs in mammalian cells which would represent a third scaffold for glycosylation. By interacting with immunomodulatory receptors, glycoRNAs also provide a new mechanistic to consider how cells express signals via glycans on the cell surface. Highlights...

Cell morphogenetic processes occurring during plant development are crucial determinants of metabolic and mechanical functionality of mature organs. Through 4D imaging, computational modeling and micromechanical testing we can obtain a deeper understanding of the hierarchical architectural concepts underpinning metabolic processes.
