Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Danny J. Wang, PhD, Professor of Neurology, USC Institute for Neuroimaging & Informatics
Talk Title: Noncontrast Perfusion MRI and Dynamic MR Angiography
Series: Department of Biomedical Engineering: Systems Cellular-Molecular Bioengineering Distinguished Speaker Series
Abstract: Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is an emerging noninvasive MRI technique to measure cerebral blood flow (CBF) by utilizing magnetically labeled arterial blood water as an endogenous tracer. While in the past ASL has been limited by the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), recent technical development at high and ultrahigh magnetic fields, array receive coils and more efficient spin labeling and image acquisition methods has brought ASL to the frontier of both basic and clinical neuroscience. In this talk I will review the latest technical development of ASL and representative clinical applications in neurologic disorders such as stroke and arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Another new ASL technique is 4D non-contrast dynamic MR angiography (dMRA) that is able to visualize and quantify the dynamic flow pattern of labeled blood through the cerebrovasculature with millisecond temporal resolution and millimeter spatial resolution. I will showcase representative clinical applications of 4D dMRA, and discuss a novel method for assessing cerebral vascular compliance or arterial stiffness.

Talk Title: A Systems Bioengineering Framework for Probing Collective Cell Migration
Series: Distinguished Speaker Series, Dept. of Biomedical Engineering
Abstract: Collective cell migration is a fundamental multicellular activity that plays essential roles in numerous physiological and pathological processes, such as tissue development, regeneration, and cancer metastasis. Proper coordination of cells, for instance, is required to repair damaged tissues in which cells crawl collectively atop exposed extracellular matrix following injury. The collective migration mechanisms responsible for tissue development are also utilized in the invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors. Despite its significance, the fundamental processes that drive collective cell migration, such as leader cell formation and multicellular cooperativity, remain poorly understood. To elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms governing collective cell migration, my laboratory is developing a single molecule biosensor for dynamic multigene analysis in complex tissue environments. By integrating the single molecule biosensor with microengineered 3D tissue models, single cell photothermal ablation, biomechanical analysis, and agent-based computational modeling, we establish a systems bioengineering framework for probing collective cell migration. Using the systems bioengineering framework, we reveal that the formation of leader cells during collective migration is dynamically regulated by Dll4 signaling through both Notch1 and intercellular tension. Our finding provides a molecular basis for the stochastic emergence of leader cells, which may enable novel approaches in regenerative medicine, wound healing and anti-metastasis therapy in the future.
