SUMMARY:Stephane Jedele\, "Study of the KCNN4 channel involved in the pathological dehydration of red blood cells using molecular modeling approaches"
DESCRIPTION:KCNN4 is a calcium (Ca)-activated potassium (K+) channel translocating K+ ions across several cellular membranes and for which Ca2+ sensitivity is conferred by calmodulin (CaM). Until the main part of the protein structure bound to CaM has been resolved\, in silico studies had used homology models derived from the well characterized transmembrane domain of other K+ channels\, limiting the functional investigation to this particular region. Thus\, how the regulatory domains of KCNN4 communicate with each other and where the possible gates are located across the complete structure are still not well understood. My PhD work presents for the first time results obtained from an extensive investigation of full-length models of the channel in different conformational states and molecular contexts using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations and enhanced sampling methods. The results allow us to contextualize no less than 6 of the pathogenic mutations identified in the channel to date\, and provide a new basis for understanding the KCNN4 function.\nhttps://indico.ijs.si/event/2866/

SUMMARY:Sascha Ollertz\, "Agent-based modelling of cell differentiation patterns in mouse blastocysts"
DESCRIPTION:Early embryonic development from zygote to blastocyst is a highly dynamic\, self-organised process in which stem cells undergo successive cell fate decisions and form a complex structure. Local patterns in the early and mid blastocyst stage resolve into global patterns in the late stage of the blastocyst . A first modelling approach\, based on cell division and signalling showed that the spatial cell fate patterns arising in the earlyand mid stage\, are compatible with signalling beyond the nearest neighbours . As a next step\, we expanded our existing mathematical\, agent-based model to incorporate the late stage by including cell sorting based on differential adhesion. The resulting model consists of cell division\, cell death\, physical interactions\, transcription and signalling between the cells. The model allows us to systematically investigate the influence of these mechanisms and their relative timing with respect to the formation of the global pattern in the late blastocyst stage.\n Fischer\, S.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Kriewald: Lepton Number Violation at the LHC
DESCRIPTION:Numerous well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model\, notably models linked to the generation of neutrino masses and to searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay\, predict the existence of lepton-number-violating (LNV) processes. In particular\, the type II seesaw and the left-right symmetric model predict final states consisting of same-sign di-leptons with jets and/or the existence of long-lived heavy neutral leptons which could be detected at the LHC.\nIn this talk I will review current collider limits on such scenarios and estimate the corresponding future HL-LHC sensitivities for these models. I will show that these models predict observable signals across broad regions of parameter space\, whereas the LHC can indirectly probe New Physics scales as high as 70-80 TeV.\nhttps://indico.ijs.si/event/2903/

SUMMARY:Matej Kanduč\, "Microplastics through the lens of physics"
DESCRIPTION:Micro- and nanoplastics have emerged as persistent and pervasive pollutants\, raising concerns across environmental and biological systems. In this talk\, I will show how we can use ideas from soft matter physics\, especially colloid and interface science\, to better understand how these particles behave. We will look at how nano- and microplastics act like colloids and how their movement and interactions depend on their surface properties and the conditions around them.\nhttps://indico.ijs.si/event/2858/

SUMMARY:Yue Zhang: Neutrino Self-interaction: Motivations and Future Probes
DESCRIPTION:Neutrino self-interaction with a larger “Fermi constant” is often resorted for understanding puzzles of our universe. I will first discuss how novel neutrino self-interactions can save the sterile neutrino dark matter produced through early universe oscillation mechanism\, which is otherwise ruled out by cosmological observations. The explanation requires the existence of a light scalar boson that couples exclusively to neutrinos and sets a well-motivated target for experimental probes. In the second part of talk\, I will review existing constraints on the neutrinophilic scalar\, and point out pathways for testing the model in upcoming experiments.\nhttps://indico.ijs.si/event/2582/
