Mitophagy is a selective form of autophagy for clearance of damaged mitochondria via the autophagy-lysosome pathway. Among various mitophagy regulatory mechanisms, PINK1, a protein kinase, and Parkin, an E3 ligase, are two critical players, with important implications in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD). In this presentation, I will cover some of our recent work, includ...

Otolaryngology, commonly known as ENT, offers a unique convergence of sensory physiology, airway biomechanics, and human communication, making it an ideal domain for translational innovation. In this talk, Dr. Yike Li presents a multidisciplinary journey integrating neuroengineering, informatics, and clinical science. The first part introduces advances in neurostimulation for obstructive sleep apn...

Primum Non Nocere, Secundum Simulare: A New Era in Clinical Trials In silico trials (ISTs) and computational medicine are poised to transform medical device development and regulation, embodying the principle of "Do No Harm by Design". This talk explores how ISTs can address the limitations of traditional clinical trials, including high costs, lengthy timelines, and safety concerns. By s...

Publishing is a key part of sharing your work with the scientific community, yet as scientific editors at Cell Press, we often get questions about how the editorial process works behind the scenes. How do journal editors select which papers undergo in-depth peer review? What can scientists do to make their work stand out to editors and potential reviewers? I’ll be sharing tips and tricks for sele...
