ɬ’s Body Donor Program plays crucial role in health sciences education
Overall, donors have an impact on the education of more than a thousand students every year.
PhD student Neha Dinesh recognized by the American Society of Matrix Biology
Neha Dinesh, PhD student in the Reinhardt lab, won the Iozzo Trainee Award at the combined conference of the American Society for Matrix Biology, the American Society for Investigative Pathology, and the Histochemical Society held in Salt Lake City, Utah from Oct 22-25, 2023. The title of her contribution was “Fibronectin-Mediated Physiological and Pathological Mechanisms in Skeletal Development”.
Dr. Morales has a new publication in PLOS ONE.

Integrated modeling of the Nexin-dynein regulatory complex reveals its regulatory mechanism.
Fascia Summer School 2023
This past July 17-21st, the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology hosted the Fascia Summer School in collaboration with the University of Padua, Italy.
The event featured didactic lectures on the most recent advances in fascia, dissection labs conducted by our lead anatomists, Carla Stecco and Gabriel Venne, and hands-on workshops to expose participants to the different fields of practice and research on fascia.
Congratulations Kelly and Jeannie!
The department would like to congratulate FEMR staff Kelly Sears and Jeannie Mui on receiving the Technologist Award from the Microscopy Society of Canada for 2019 and 2021, respectively.
The Technologist Award recognizes those who have made significant contributions to the advancement of microscopy research or training. Congratulations to Kelly and Jeannie!

Dr. Strauss publishes article in the Journal of Cell Biology: Cryo-EM structure of the complete and ligand-saturated insulin receptor ectodomain
Glucose homeostasis and growth essentially depend on the hormone insulin engaging its receptor. Despite biochemical and structural advances, a fundamental contradiction has persisted in the current understanding of insulin ligand–receptor interactions. While biochemistry predicts two distinct insulin binding sites, 1 and 2, recent structural analyses have resolved only site 1.

Dr. Charles E. Smithcontinues long-standing collaborative investigations with Dr. James Simmer and Dr. Jan Hu from the University of Michigan about how ameloblasts coordinate their activities to produce the protective enamel covering of teeth as well as flawed responses that occur from these cells when matrix formation/signaling is disrupted by genetic alterations.
