Description
The fat layer in our skin has the ability to expand and shrink. Yet, the regulatory mechanisms for skin fat growth and shrinking are not well understood. In this Share Your Research Talk, Edriss Yousuf describes his thesis research on the regulation of skin fat. He discovered a non-immune function of regulatory T cells and showed that they can induce autophagy in skin fat cells to decrease their lipid droplet size. These findings have implications for scarring and scleroderma, disorders which are typically associated with reduced skin fat abundance.

Jan-Michael Peters Part 2: How do Cohesin and CTCF Fold DNA in Mammalian Genomes?: In his second talk, Peters presents evidence that cohesin is indeed necessary for genomic DNA to fold into loops. Long range DNA interactions such as loops can be detected using a technique called Hi-C. Using Hi-C, by iBiology Podcast
