EMBRIO investigators at Purdue – it is time it is time to post your summer research projects with the SURF program to recruit undergraduate researchers to your lab! EMBRIO will cover the faculty portion of the stipend and housing agreement. The SURF program provides an 11-week on campus research experience. Get your project posted now for consideration (details and links below). The student portal is now open, with students beginning to apply to the program. EMBRIO faculty at our partner institutions – please let your undergrads know of this opportunity to work with EMBRIO faculty on summer projects and make connections with those at Purdue. There are also a number of resources and programs available for undergraduate thinking about graduate school you may want to share with your undergraduate students (see SURF details and other info below UG Resources section).

Jeffery Coulter is presenting a public talk today at 3pm in MJIS 2001 at Purdue as part of his PhD Preliminary Exam “A computational analysis of CaMKII-actin networks and their influence on dendritic spine morphology” (abstract below).  Congrats to Mayesha Sahir Mim, Ph.D. Candidate in EMBRIO (Zartman Lab) at Notre Dame, on a successful defense of her Ph.D. dissertation!! "Engineering Morphogenesis through Calcium Signaling and Cellular Mechanical Mediators." We wish Mayesha the very best in the next steps of her career.

Title: A computational analysis of CaMKII-actin networks and their influence on dendritic spine morphology

Date: December 6, 2024

Time: 3:00 pm

Location: MJIS 2001

Committee: Taeyoon Kim (Co-advisor), David Umulis (Co-advisor), Tamara Kinzer-Ursem, Janice Evans

Abstract: Dendritic spines are small protrusions on neuronal dendrites responsible for receiving and integrating the post-synaptic signals that contribute to learning and memory formation through a process known as long-term-potentiation (LTP).  The changes that occur in spines during LTP can be roughly categorized as “functional" (related to the efficiency of synaptic communication) and “structural" (related to morphological changes).  While these changes are closely related and are both required for proper LTP, the molecular mechanisms underlying the structural changes are not well understood.  The actin cytoskeleton is the primary system responsible for regulating spine structure and earlier work has found that calcium-calmodulin protein kinase II (CaMKII) has multiple actin binding capabilities.  Disruption of CaMKII activity is linked to pathological spine morphologies and improper LTP, although, elucidating how its interactions with the actin cytoskeleton might contribute to this using existing experimental or computational procedures is challenging due to the small size and the multi-scale nature of this system.  Here, we plan to test the hypothesis that CaMKII plays a structural role during LTP through its ability to both sequester monomeric G-actin and bundle filamentous F-actin to regulate spine morphology.  We will use an agent-based computational model of homogeneous CaMKII-actin networks to understand the relative contributions of CaMKII sequestration and bundling to network architecture.  To resolve the limitations of current computational approaches, we will also present a novel hybrid, continuum-discrete modeling framework capable of describing multi-scale biological systems, such as dendritic spines, wherein biochemical reactions are coupled with filamentous networks.  Using this framework, we will consider how heterogeneity of CaMKII localization and its activation by calcium (Ca$^{2+}$) following synaptic stimulation affect spine morphology.  Our work will provide insight into the structural role that CaMKII plays in LTP, as well as introduce a general computational framework for studying comparable multi-scale systems.

Combined multiscale modeling and experimental study of mechanisms of shape formation during tissue development and growth

Mark Alber
Department of Mathematics, Center for Quantitative Modeling in Biology
University of California Riverside, USA

The regulation and maintenance of a tissue’s shape and structure is a major outstanding question in developmental biology and plant biology. In this talk, through iterations between experiments and multiscale model simulations that include a mechanistic description of interkinetic nuclear migration, we will show that the local curvature, height, and nuclear positioning of cells in the Drosophila wing imaginal disc are defined by the concurrent patterning of actomyosin contractility, cell-ECM adhesion, ECM stiffness, and interfacial membrane tension [1]. The biologically calibrated model describing both tissue growth and morphogenesis incorporates the spatial patterning of fundamental subcellular properties. Additionally, the model implements for the first time the dynamics of interkinetic nuclear migration within the simulated pseudostratified epithelium. This includes the basal to apical motion of the nucleus, mitotic rounding, and cell division dynamics. Key characteristics of global tissue architecture, such as the local curvature of the basal wing disc epithelium, cell height, and nuclear positioning, serve as metrics for model calibration. The experiments have shown how these physical features are jointly regulated through spatiotemporal dynamics in the localization of pMyoII, β-Integrin, and ECM stiffness. As the disc grows, there are progressive changes in the patterning of key subcellular features such as actomyosin contractility. The predictions made by the model simulations agree with the observed changes in contractility and cell-ECM adhesion during wing disc morphogenesis. Multiscale modeling approach combined with experiments was also applied to studying stem cell maintenance in multilayered shoot apical meristems (SAMs) of plants which requires strict regulation of cell growth and division. In this talk, the combined approach will be demonstrated through testing three hypothesized mechanisms for the regulation of cell division plane orientation and the direction of anisotropic cell expansion in the corpus [2].
