Talbot, Chairman; Kenneth S. Cole; Ernest C. Pollard; and Otto H. Schmitt, elected by a group of interested scientists at the Federation Meeting in Atlantic City in April 1956. This Committee, assisted by Ralph W. Stacy, Local Arrangements Chairman and Herman P. Schwan, Publicity Chairman, organized and administered the First National Biophysics Conference held in Columbus, Ohio, March 4–6, 1957. At the business meeting held during this conference, presided over by Max A. Lauffer, the decision was made to organize the Biophysical Society and a Temporary Council was elected. The Temporary Council later elected Robley C. Williams as its President, adopted the Constitution and Bylaws of the Society, developed by a committee chaired by Max A. Lauffer, formulated a temporary plan of operation for the first year of the Society, prepared a slate of officers for the first year and planned, with Cyrus Levinthal as Program Chairman and Arthur K. Solomon as Local Arrangements Chairman, the second meeting of the Biophysical Society held early in 1958 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. At this meeting, the recommendations of the Temporary Council were accepted, the Constitution and Bylaws were ratified and the proposed slate of officers elected, thereby formally founding the Biophysical Society. 2019 Officers & Council Baron Chanda Kevin Janes Elsa Yan Chris Chipot Anne Kenworthy Ahmet Yildiz Officers James Cole Elizabeth Komives David W.

The sperm AR occurs in mice in the upper segments of the Filamentous actin (F-actin) is a key factor in exocytosis in many cell female oviductal isthmus (Hino et al., 2016; La Spina et al., 2016; types. In mammalian sperm, acrosomal exocytosis (denoted the Muro et al., 2016) and is essential for the appropriate relocalization – acrosome reaction or AR), a special type of controlled secretion, is of proteins involved in sperm egg fusion (Satouh et al., 2012). regulated by multiple signaling pathways and the actin cytoskeleton. Acrosomal exocytosis is a highly controlled event that consists of However, the dynamic changes of the actin cytoskeleton in live sperm multiple stages that culminate in the membrane around the secretory are largely not understood. Here, we used the powerful properties of SiR- vesicle being incorporated into the plasma membrane. At the actin to examine actin dynamics in live mouse sperm at the onset of the molecular level, this complex exocytic process is regulated by AR. By using a combination of super-resolution microscopy techniques several signaling pathways involving: (1) membrane potential to image sperm loaded with SiR-actin or sperm from transgenic mice (De La Vega-Beltran et al., 2012), (2) proteins from the fusion containing Lifeact-EGFP, six regions containing F-actin within the sperm machinery system (Belmonte et al., 2016; De Blas et al., 2005), head were revealed.
