Engineering mucus and innate lung defense

02/03/2025, 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Abstract. Mucus is a biological gel within the lung designed to behave like an “escalator” with the ability to capture potentially harmful inhaled materials (e.g. pathogens, particulates) and carry these materials via mucociliary clearance up to the throat to be swallowed and sterilized. However due to the lack of appropriate models, it is unclear how...

Metabolic Imaging of Mitochondrial (Dys)function In Vivo

02/17/2025, 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Abstract: Mitochondria play a crucial role in cellular energy homeostasis and function, making their metabolic activity a key indicator of health and disease. Mitochondrial metabolism is highly sensitive to various factors, including demographics, nutrition, and pathological states, necessitating in vivo investigation. While stable isotope tracing (e.g., using 13C and 15N) is a powerful tool for metabolic...
