StePhen Friend：猎寻未知的遗传英雄
我们从那些的了遗传性疾病的人那里获知了什么－在大部分遗传病中，只有部分的急停成员发生了疾病，而其他带有同样基因的却能避开它。斯蒂文.弗兰德建议我们应该开始研究那些没有得病的家庭成员。听听这个弹性课题，以巨大的努力来搜集基因资料可以帮助解码遗传性的失调。

StePhen Harrison (Harvard) Part 1: Virus structures: General principles
Harrison begins his talk by asking why most non-enveloped viruses and some enveloped viruses are symmetrical in shape. He proceeds to show us lovely images of the structures obtained by x-ray crystallography of numerous viral coat proteins. DeciPhering these structures allowed scientists to understand that viral coat proteins form multimers, such as dimers and pentamers, which in turn interact with a scaffold that ensures that the coat proteins are correctly placed. This arrangement results in symmetrically shaped viruses.
In Part 1, Harrison also explains that enveloped viruses infect cells by inducing the fusion of the viral and host cell membranes. He delves deeper into the molecular mechanism of membrane fusion driven by the hemagglutinin or HA protein of the influenza virus in Part 2 of his talk.
Non-enveloped viruses, on the other hand, must enter cells by a mechanism other than membrane fusion. This is the focus of Part 3. Using rotavirus as a model, Harrison and his colleagues have used a combination of Xray crystallography and electron cryomicroscopy to deciPher how the spike protein on the viral surface changes its conformation and perforates the cell membrane allowing the virus to enter the cell.
