These complex tasks are performed by a molecular sorting machinery in combination with coat p roteins and force-generating motors that drive membrane deformation and ex tension. As a result\, selected components are delivered to vesicles and t ubules that are vectorially directed to intracellular destinations encoded by determinants exposed on their cytosolic surface.\n\nSo often\, we tend to ignore how these dynamic events are tightly coordinated by the luminal contents (i.e. fluid) of membrane-bound organelles. In immune cells that turnover the equivalent of their entire surface membrane and engulf the vo lumetric equivalent of their cytosol in a matter of hours\, fluid traffic cannot be ignored – in fact\, it can be readily studied. I will discuss ou r recent findings that describe how the transport of ions and organic solu tes in endosomes and lysosomes control membrane traffic. The molecular mec hanisms are scaled to the tissue level to understand the importance of flu id traffic in the immune response to cellular damage.\n\nThis seminar will be offered both in-person and online. Details in attached poster. Masks a nd 1m distancing required.\n\n \n DTSTART:20211112T160000Z DTEND:20211112T170000Z LOCATION:Room 1034\, McIntyre Medical Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3G 1 Y6\, 3655 promenade Sir William Osler SUMMARY:In-person seminar - Fluid endocytosis and traffic in cells and its role in immune surveillance URL:/physiology/channels/event/person-seminar-fluid-en docytosis-and-traffic-cells-and-its-role-immune-surveillance-332114 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
