MEAM Seminar: “Cell Packings and Tissue Flows in Developing Embryos”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

During embryonic development, groups of cells reorganize into functional tissues with complex form and structure. Tissue reorganization can be rapid and dramatic, often occurring through striking embryo-scale flows that are mediated by the coordinated actions of hundreds or thousands of cells. In Drosophila, cell rearrangements in the embryonic epithelium rapidly narrow and elongate the tissue, […]

BE Seminar: “Developments in Stem Cell-Derived Islets for Diabetes Cell Replacement Theory” (Jeffrey R. Millman, Washington University School of Medicine)

Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This is a hybrid seminar which will be held in Glandt Forum (Singh Center) and via Zoom (link coming soon). "Developments in Stem Cell-Derived Islets for Diabetes Cell Replacement Theory" Cellular and tissue engineering promises new therapeutic options for people suffering from a wide range of diseases.

BE Seminar: “Cellular and Acellular Strategies for Heart and Lung Repair” (Ke Cheng, UNC/NCSU)

Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This is a hybrid seminar: Check email for the zoom link and passcode. "Cellular and Acellular Strategies for Heart and Lung Repair" Therapeutic tissue regeneration using stem cells has been hampered by the controversial identity of resident stem cells, low cell retention/engraftment, tumorigenecity and immunogenicity issues. Taking a bioengineering/biomaterials approach, this lecture will introduce the uses of drug delivery and biomaterials […]
