Abstract: Intraluminal vesicle (ILV) formation plays a crucial role in the attenuation of growth factor receptor signaling. The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT-0 to -III/VPS4) mediates this process. The general dogma has been that upstream ESCRTs (0 to II) sequester receptors at the surface of endosomes and the downstream ESCRTs (III/VPS4) remodel the endosome membrane leading to the abscission and formation of receptor-containing ILVs. We now show that upstream ESCRTs not only sequester cargo, but in addition play a crucial role for the initiation of membrane shape remodeling in ILV budding. Through a combination of mathematical modeling and experimental measurements we show that upstream ESCRTs facilitate ILV budding by crowding with a high density in the membrane neck region.

This talk is part of the Mechanics Lunch Seminar series. That means 20min talks plus discussion in an informal setting.

Title:  Changes in Net Ecosystem Exchange over Europe During the 2018 Drought Based on Atmospheric Observations

What do we mean by "learning programming", why do many find it challenging to learn, what are really the main challenges, which aspects do people in different settings need to learn and how do they best learn it? Geir Kjetil Sandve will give a brief introduction to a discussion where we look forward to hearing experiences and viewpoints inspired by the myriad settings where people in our environment have been involved in programming.

Doctoral candidate Zachary Scott McGraw at the Department of Geosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Global radiative impacts of aerosol variations through mixed-phase and cirrus clouds for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

Boris Gudiksen, Professor at Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics, ITA.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is often mentioned as the solution to many of our future challenges, also within healthcare, and in January 2020 the Norwegian Government launched a National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence. What role could AI play in cancer diagnostics? How should diagnoses be set in the future, and which new questions might arise when introducing new technologies?

We discuss how population genomics approaches can be applied to wildlife conservation and management.
