All meeting attendees are welcome to SATURDAY participate . Meeting registration is required . Subgroup A: 5th Biannual Frontiers in Cytokinesis Room 33B Organizers: Julie C. Canman, Columbia University; Ulrike Eggert, King’s College London; Amy Shaub Maddox, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Douglas Robinson, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine; Dimitrios Vavylonis, Lehigh University; and Jian-Qiu Wu, Ohio State University Cytokinesis is a spectacular cell shape change process that requires coordination of complex cellular machinery over many scales of space and time . Chemical and mechanical signaling pathways integrate the mitotic spindle with the cell cortex to position the division plane and promote assembly of a contractile actomyosin network, leading to remodeling of the plasma membrane and cortex . In a multicellular setting, cytokinesis also integrates cell-cell and cell-substrate communication . This geometrically simplified cell shape change serves as a paradigm for numerous other shape change events, including those that take place during cell migration and tissue morphogenesis . In this meeting, we bring together a group of investigators who use systematic genetic and chemical methods, biophysical techniques, high resolution imaging, diverse model systems, and mathematical modeling .

Organizers The 2018 ASCB | EMBO Meeting l ascb-embo2018.ascb.org 27 Subgroup B: Building the Cell 2018 Room 30D Organizer: Susanne Rafelski, Allen Institute for Cell Science, Seattle WA Modern cell biology has made great strides in understanding cell structure and function . As with any engineering problem, however, there is a third important aspect that needs to be understood besides structure and function, and that is assembly . How are the complex three-dimensional structures found within the cell specified by a one-dimensional genome? In this session we will explore the mechanisms by which cellular structures are determined and regulated . Because this question lies at the interface of biology and physics, this Building the Cell session will be highly interdisciplinary with speakers whose interests range from physics and mathematical modeling to biochemistry and cell biology .

Ed Munro, University of Chicago Subgroup C: Cell Biology in Cancer Immunity Room 31B Organizers: Xiaolei Su, Yale University; and Enfu Hui, University of California, San Diego Cancer immunotherapy aims to activate or release the inhibition of immune cells for the sake of killing tumors . A variety of signaling molecules or immune effectors, including cell surface receptors, antibodies, and cytokines, have been targeted or engineered for eliminating cancer cells . Despite the clinical success in various immunotherapies, including checkpoint blockade and CAR-T, the cellular mechanism underlying how immune cells respond in those therapies remains unclear . This session will focus on recent progress in understanding and manipulating signaling events, transcriptional program, and reorganization of cellular structures that mediate immune cells’ responses to cancer antigens . It will not only advance our knowledge in understanding the molecular mechanism underlying cancer immunity but also provide insights in designing new strategies for cancer therapy .
