Mu-ming Poo
University of California, Berkeley
“Development of neuronal polarity”
In Mu-ming’s talk, I realize that my favorite theory “global inhibition, local excitation” was pioneered by Alan M. Turning’s study on pattern formation. His original theory is “Local autocatalytic activation and long-range inhibition” (“The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis.” Phil. Trans. R. Soc. London B 237 (1952): 37-72. Rpt. in The Collected Works of A. M. Turing: Morphogenesis. Ed. P. T. Saunders. Amsterdam: North-Holland, 1992.).

New in 'Theory'
- Wnt-independent stem cells in the hair follicle, marked by Lgr6, execute long-term wound repair
- Epithelia of fly embryo is a nice system to study 2D tissue morphogenesis, especially the intercalation and the compartmentation
- Tuning system’s specificity and sensitivity by oligomerization, an example from Ire1 protein during unfolded protein response
- Complete the research for basic tastes receptors: the salt receptor, ENaC, validated by genetically engineered mice
- Local antagonistic interactions between cAMP and cGMP ensure that axon initiation is accompanied by dendrite inhibition

the audio quality was not good. But really admire you to record the whole thing, hehe:p
good job!
how is the cGMP/cAMP being manipulated in vivo in Poo’s talk? genetic or pharmacological? ip injection for mom and look at the pups?
I want to minimize the processing work I need to do – no adjustment.
He used beads coated with drugs.
[...] was fortunately to hear Mu-ming’s talk about the “Development of Neuronal Polarity” last summer. Now, the paper has been published in [...]
