Start of Lecture 2 (0:19) [ANNOUNCER:] From the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. The 2009 Holiday Lectures on Science. This year's lectures, "Exploring Biodiversity: The Search for New Medicines," will be given by Dr. Bonnie Bassler, Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Princeton University, and Dr. Baldomero Olivera, Howard Hughes Medical Institute professor at the University of Utah. The second lecture is titled, "Shedding Light on an Invisible World." And now, to introduce our program, the Vice President for Grants and Special Programs of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Dr. Peter Bruns. 2. Welcome by HHMI Vice President Dr. Peter Bruns (1:08) [DR. BRUNS:] Thanks for joining us for the Holiday Lectures on Science this year, focusing on biodiversity and the search for new medicines. You know, we've already had one lecture full of all sorts of great stuff and we've got three more to go, but even then we won't be able to cover everything for sure. We have a way that you can get more information on this and other related topics, and that's on a website that we have. If you go to our own website, HHMI.org, and then on the bottom right, click on an area called Cool Science, you'll come to a page that has a number of options. In one spot you'll find BioInteractive. Click on that and you'll find a whole library of previous Holiday Lectures and, in fact, this Holiday Lecture, in the future, and other kinds of videos and animations and so on.

These molecules travel from cell to cell and the bacteria have receptorsB on their surfaces that allow them to detect and respond to the build up of the molecules. This process of cell-to-cell communication in bacteria is called “Quorum Sensing” and it allows bacteria to synchronize behavior on a population-wide scale. Bacterial behaviors controlled by quorum sensing are usually ones that are unproductive when undertaken by an individual Admission is Free bacterium acting alone but become effective when undertaken in unison by the group. For example, quorum sensing controls virulence, sporulation, and Seating is by RSVP only the exchange of DNA. Thus, quorum sensing is a mechanism that allows at: bacteria to function as multi-cellular organisms.

Current biomedical research is focused on the development of or call novel anti-bacterial therapies aimed at interfering with quorum sensing.

It’s a mouse retina, removed and flattened to • show the entire surface of the tissue. The concentrated red staining at the top of the image www.hhmi.or indicates that the cone photoreceptors of the dorsal retina contain high levels of phos- phorylated mTOR protein. Phosphorylation of mTOR is a sign that the cells are healthy and receiving good nutrition. This finding suggests a couple of possi bilities, according to HHMI investigator Connie Cepko. First, dorsal cones may respond differently to their surrounding environment than ventral cones. Or the nutrient supply, oxygen level, and g environmental interactions may differ around the dorsal and ventral cones. Understanding normal cone photoreceptor behavior will help Cepko’s team figure out what goes wrong when cone cells die, as in the sight-robbing disease retinitis pigmentosa (see page 12).
