Raquel Cuevas-Díaz Durán, School of Medicine and Health Sciences, ITESM https://research.tec.mx/vivo-tec/display/PID_66289 Resumen de la ponencia The nervous system of multicellular organisms comprises highly specialized cells which perform distinct physiological functions. Even though they possess nearly identical genomic DNA, their spatio-temporal heterogeneity is achieved through epigenetic mechanisms, for example DNA methylation, histone post-transcriptional modifications, chromatin remodeling, […]

Resumen de la ponencia High throughput genomic methods, such as ChIP-Seq, have greatly expanded our knowledge of transcription factor (TF) binding to DNA. A frequent observation is the presence of binding sites for individual TFs that span a wide range of apparent affinities. A quantitative biophysical understanding of the basis of TF binding strength is […]

Tony Hunter, American Cancer Society Professor, Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory, Renato Dulbecco Chair, Salk Institute Resumen de la ponencia I will discuss our recent studies on protein histidine phosphorylation and its function as a reversible posttranslational modification. I will describe how we developed monoclonal antibodies specific for the 1-pHis and 3-pHis isoforms, and have […]

Juan Francisco Jiménez Bremont, Profesor-Investigador Titular C (SNI 3), Division de Biología Molecular, Instituto Potosino de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica (IPICyT) Resumen de la ponencia Nuestro grupo de investigación se ha enfocado en la caracterización molecular y funcional de genes involucrados en la respuesta al estrés de plantas. Inicialmente mediante bibliotecas cDNA construidas en frijol, […]

Resumen de la charla: Chagas disease, a neglected disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is endemic in 21 Latin American countries, affecting 6–8 million people. Increasing numbers of Chagas disease cases have also been reported in non-endemic countries due to migration, contamination via blood transfusions or organ transplantation, characterizing Chagas as an emerging disease […]
