As sessile organisms, plants are incredibly mindful of their time. As a result, they extensively regulate cellular and physiological processes through a combination of circadian (anticipatory) and light‐responsive (reactive) mechanisms in order to adapt to their changing daily environment and to respond to stress. To date, our understanding of diel plant cell regulation has largely been derived ...

Dr. Suiyang Liao - A postdoc fellow at the University of British Columbia

When formulating mRNA into lipid nanoparticles (LNP), various copy numbers of mRNA are encapsulated, leading to a distribution of mRNA loading levels within the LNPs. It is unclear whether the mRNA loading level affects the functional delivery of the message. Here we show that depending on the mRNA loading level, LNPs exhibit distinct mass densities and can be fractionated via ultracentrifugation ...

Antibodies are a major component of adaptive immunity against invading pathogens. In this presentation, we will describe an analytical approach to characterize the antigen-specific antibody repertoire directly from the secreted proteins in convalescent serum. This approach enables simultaneous antibody sequencing and epitope mapping using a combination of single particle cryo-electron microscopy ...
