Subgroup R: The Mechanics and Membrane Dynamics of the Nuclear Envelope
Saturday, December 8, 1:30 pm-5:30 pm
Room: 33B
Organizers: Christian Schlieker, Yale University; and Shirin Bahmanyar, Yale University
It has become clear that the textbook definition of the nuclear envelope as a stable structure is no longer accurate. Nuclear envelope dynamics, which includes membrane fusion, rupture and repair, and budding, allows for nuclear pore complex insertion, constricted cell migration, and viral proliferation. Defects in nuclear envelope dynamics are associated with heterogeneous diseases including muscular dystrophy, movement disorders, aging, and cancer. By bringing together researchers from diverse fields that intersect in nuclear envelope biology, we will explore the mechanics and dynamics of the nuclear envelope and how mis-regulation of these processes contributes to disease. The insight gained will provide a more comprehensive view of nuclear envelope function that extends well beyond its long-assumed role as a static barrier between the nucleoplasm and cytoplasm.

Attend the 2018 Doorstep Meeting: Beyond Homeostasis: Stem Cells Under Stress on Saturday, December 8 from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm and attend the Keynote by Sean Morrison immediately following.
The daylong meeting will provide an overview of stem cell biology as it pertains to cell biology research and tissue regeneration, illustrate how studies of the cell provide insights into stem cell research, and encourage stem cell researchers to consider cell biology in their research.
