How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

CDB Seminar: Heraclitus and the Cytoskeleton: Understanding the nature of self-assembling biological materials, Dr Dyche Mullins, Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology, University of California
MBU (A151), Medical School Building, Gibbet Hill

Abstract: Branched actin networks are self-assembling molecular motors whose components are conserved across eukaryotic phyla. The primary function of branched actin networks is to move membranes during a variety of essential cell biological processes, including: amoeboid motility, phagocytosis, endocytosis, cell-cell adhesion, cell fusion, and autophagy. Inspired by earlier work on molecular motors, such as myosin and kinesin, we have worked to produce an integrated, biophysical description of actin network motor activity. We find that the architecture and mechanics of branched actin networks are governed by positive and negative feedback loops that lie at the heart of their self-assembly mechanism, and that physical forces modulate network architecture by exerting differential effects on key steps in the self-assembly process.
