Talks/Seminars/Symposiums Biology Department Seminar Series presents Dr. Jonathan Kopecheck, UofLNovember 3, noon, Chao Auditorium The clinical efficacy of many molecular therapies is limited by a lack of spatial and temporal control over therapeutic delivery. To address this clinical need, Dr. Kopecheck (Assistant Professor at the J.B. Speed School of Engineering) is using ultrasound pulses to facilitate intracellular delivery of therapeutic agents at target sites. He will speak on, “Harnessing the Power of Sound for Intracellular Delivery of Therapeutic Compounds.” Additional Information: Charice Johnson, 852-8263

Bioengineering Dept. Seminar: ‘Pharmocologic Inhibition of HDAC1 Enhances the Reparative Capacity of Human Cardiac Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in a Chronic Model of Hear Failure’Nov. 2, noon to 1:30 p.m., Shumaker Building, Room 139 In preliminary in vivo studies, entinostat-treated CMCs exhibited superior ability to attenuate adverse LV remodeling and yielded greater improvement in ventricular function relative to untreated CMCs. These results suggest that HDAC1 inhibition enhances the therapeutic potency of CMCs, possibly by augmenting CMC cardiogenic lineage-commitment. Dr. Joseph B. Moore IV presents.
