Join us for Cell Bio 2024, the joint meeting of ASCB and the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO). This is your opportunity to network with scientists, present your research, explore the exhibit hall, and learn the latest cell biology science and technology.
Preprint Highlight: The pore-forming apolipoprotein APOL7C drives phagosomal rupture and antigen cross-presentation by dendritic cells
Conventional dendritic cells type 1 (cDC1s) specialize in antigen “cross-presentation”, a mechanism that involves the presentation of exogenous antigens on major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) proteins. While this process is essential in triggering anti-viral and anti-tumor immunity, the molecular mechanisms that facilitate cargo export to the cytosol to promote MHC-I presentation after phagocytosis are…
Sign Up to Schedule Abstracts into Poster Sessions
ASCB is offering early-career, mid-career, and postdoctoral members an opportunity for involvement on the Cell Bio 2023 Poster Abstract Programming Task Force. The primary purpose of the task force is to review the abstracts submitted for poster presentation and program them into poster sessions for the upcoming annual meeting. The committee will review abstracts provided…
Continuous endosomes form functional subdomains and orchestrate rapid membrane trafficking in trypanosomes
To escape the immune system, trypanosome parasites remove antibodies bound to their cell surface via fast endocytosis. However, such high flux through the endocytic compartments has not yet been reconciled with the requirement for multiple fission and fusion events thought to occur between different endocytic compartments. Using electron tomography, super-resolution colocalization, and 3D immunogold co-labelling…
