On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Abstract:
NEAT1 is a highly abundant long non-coding RNA that is an essential scaffold for the assembly of a class of nuclear ribonucleoprotein bodies called paraspeckles. Paraspeckles formation is elevated by a wide variety of cellular stressors and modulate cellular processes by sequestering proteins or RNA molecules. Importantly, abnormal NEAT1 expression is associated with serious diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders and cancer. In this talk I will present data suggesting a crosstalk between paraspeckles and lysosomes, which might be relevant in human pathologies.
