Jure Dobnikar, “DNA packing in viral capsids”

Seminar room of physics (106) (IJS)

Assembly of viral capsids containing genetic material, is a key process in viral reproduction cycle. The bacteriophages and double stranded DNA viruses assemble their capsids prior to genome packaging and actively push DNA inside by ATP-driven packaging motors. The genome … Read More

Andraž Stožer & Marko Gosak, “From Ca²⁺ Waves to Insulin Pulses: Experimental and Theoretical Perspectives on β-Cell Network Dynamics”

Seminar room of physics (106) (IJS)

Pancreatic β-cells within the islets of Langerhans coordinate their activity to generate pulsatile insulin secretion, a process essential for glucose homeostasis and disrupted during the development of diabetes. This seminar will combine experimental physiology and mathematical modelling to examine how … Read More
