16/06/202312:00MARIE CURIEPRBB-CRG SessionsHenrique Veiga-FernandesImmunophysiology Group, Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, Lisbon, Portugal"Neuronal regulation of innate lymphoid cells"Host: Pia CosmaAbstract:Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) are the most recently defined cell family to be included to the increasingly complex atlas of the immune system. ILC have a lymphoid morphology, lack rearranged antigen receptors and are abundantly present at mucosal surfaces. The combined expression of lineage-specific transcription factors with discrete cytokine profiles led to the identification of distinct ILC subsets. ILC development and function have...

She will detail how they are using these first complete “synthetic...

One potential explanation is that many motifs are not accessible for binding due to the action of chromatin and DNA methylation. We are using mammalian stem cell models to understand this important interplay between gene regulation, chromatin structure and DNA methylation. We study the dynamics of the epigenome and test regulatory models in cellular models by...
