Transport and signalling in Polarized Cells (TRANSPOL)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
"Aberrant molecular signalling and intracellular trafficking are the molecular cause of many human diseases. TRANSPOL is an interdisciplinary initial stage training network (ITN) at the intersection of cell/molecular biology and membrane physics aimed specifically at the molecular understanding of the functional relationship between intracellular trafficking and cellular signalling and their relev ...

Cytokinesis’ final cut: mechanics of abscission and ESCRT-III mediated membrane fission (CYTOCUT)
Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2014,
"Abscission is the ultimate event of cytokinesis during which the intracellular bridge connecting two daughter cells is irreversibly cleaved. Reports show that a complex called ESCRT-III is involved in plasma membrane fission during abscission. The goal of this project is to understand how membrane mechanics can influence the fate of cytokinesis both at the molecular and at the cellular levels.Fir ...

Dynamic study of shape and force generation by clathrin polymerization onto lipid membranes in vitro (CLATHPOL)
Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
"The “CLATHPOL” project focuses upon a fundamental aspect of Clathrin Coat Vesicle formation. The critical biochemical (clathrin/adaptor interactions, membrane composition) and physical parameters (deformation forces, role of pre-induced curvature) controlling the shape and polymerization rate of clathrin coats will be determined and the forces applied on the membrane by clathrin polymerization wi ...
