Invited by the Romet-Lemonne/Jégou Team, Grégory Giannone will give a seminar entitled : "Deciphering the spatiotemporal and mechanical regulation of integrin and actin regulators at the nanoscale" Giannone Lab: Cells have the ability to adjust their adhesive and cytoskeletal organizations according to changes in the biochemical and physical nature of their surroundings. In return, by adhering…

Invited by Paul Conduit, Susana Godinho (Barts Cancer Institute, London, UK) will give an IJM Seminar entitled : Microtubules as mediators of stress responses and repair Research Cancer cells often contain extra centrosomes. The centrosome is the main microtubule-organizing centre in animal cells, an essential component of the cytoskeleton. In normal cells, centrosome number is tightly regulated,…
