Title:

Functional interplay between the adhesion molecule CHL1 and sonic hedgehog signaling pathway during development of cerebellum

Abstract:

Several L1-related adhesion molecules, expressed in a well-coordinated temporospatial pattern during development, are important for fine tuning of specific cerebellar circuitries. CHL1, the close homologue of L1, is abundantly expressed in the developing and adult cerebellum and required for normal cerebellar cytoarchitecture. Constitutive ablation of CHL1 in mice caused significant loss of Purkinje and granule cells in the adult cerebellum. We identify CHL1 as a novel ligand of patched-1, a receptor for...

Title: What you see is what you understand: explaining two-phase flows at different scales with computational and theoretical approaches

Abstract: Examples of multi-phase flows are legion: bubble plumes, dust storms, sediment transport in rivers, and many other natural and man-made applications. To study such flows, numerous empirical regressions have been provided for decades. Since three/four decades ago, more mechanistic approaches have been developed, which address the interaction of carrier and disperse phases. Still, it is not clear what to use for a given level of concentration, and for the objective of a...
