Gina was a valuable contributor to the 3DEM community and a delightful person. We are organizing this symposium to honor her and her work on cellular communication. One of her main interests was the junctions between eukaryotic cells, and how these serve both structural and communication functions. The former is essential to maintain the integrity of tissues, while the latter ensures propagation of signals between cells. Gina made important contributions to how gap junctions form selective channels between cells, and couple their cytoplasms to allow solute exchange. Adherens junctions and desmosomes provide mechanical contacts involved in transmitting force signals. Tight junctions offer selectivity to the passage of solutes in the spaces between cells. Retinoschisin is involved in maintaining the layered structure of the retina. Synaptic transmission affords the communication of information. The extracellular matrix forms a scaffolding for these and other proteins in the interstices between cells. Defects in these proteins cause debilitating diseases. The symposium will highlight the progress that has been made towards determining the structures and functions of proteins mediating cell-cell interactions using electron microscopy, light microscopy and other visualization techniques.</span></p><div style="margin: 0px 0px 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Times; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p style="margin: 0px 0px 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Times; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""><b class="">B03: Imaging the Biology of Cells and Tissues: Just Do It Right </b></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Times; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""><b class=""><i class="">Eduardo Rosa-Molinar, Jay Potts</i></b></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Times; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">This symposium will serve as a forum for the exchange of information, ideas, and knowledge regarding rigor and reproducibility in imaging sciences, a topic of increasing frequency and importance. Assuring confidence in and reproducibility of imaging results and their interpretation requires thoughtful consideration of the microscopic and experimental controls and procedures, detailed reporting of experimental design, methodologies, and means of analysis, as well as a review of a long and rich literature in the imaging sciences. Using case studies, panelists will discuss the most significant and recurring imaging issues, strive to reach a consensus about the extent to which rigor and reproducibility is a problem, and, suggest individual and organizational means of addressing the concern.

For example, 3D organoid cultures free cells from the culture dish�s two dimensional confines revealing more physiologically relevant motility and extracellular matrix interactions; whole mount imaging preserves the structural integrity and spatial arrangement of the living organism; and intravital imaging further restores multiple host cell interactions, connection to lymphatic and vascular circuits and regulatory signals from distant organs. These increasingly more physiological environs come at the price of greatly increased challenges for the design of experiments and extraction of interpretable information from them.

The need to correlate information obtained from both types of datasets has proven a significant challenge, but has evolved in recent years with the advent of new probes, processing techniques, and detectors with substantially increased sensitivity. We seek to highlight the scientific innovations that address the correlation of light and charged particle microscopy of biological samples and soft materials. This symposium is intended to be a forum for the dissemination of correlative workflows and advanced sample preparation methods. Invited papers would include those describing novel approaches for correlating information from multiple light modalities with x-ray, electron and ion microscopy datasets. Of particular interest are innovative developments of new CLEM probes and contrast agents, advanced methods for ultrastructural preservation and dynamic in situ measurements.

This one-day congress is designed to provide insight into the processes that occur when a high-energy electron beam interacts with a material, its gas/liquid/solid embedding medium and the interfaces between them. Steady-state radiation conditions will be evaluated in terms of temperature variations, external probing, mass transport, and imaging modes for describing the reactive system. Speakers will highlight the electron-dose threshold tolerances, low-LET ionizing radiation effects, damage mechanisms, prevention, and control of radiation effects for small volume environmental studies. The format will consist of invited presentations from radiation chemists and individuals with significant contributions to understanding electron-beam effects for environmental EM and in-situ x-rays cells. The congress will feature a lunch-time poster session and a panel discussion to identify the major challenges going forward, and should be of interested to EM researchers in the areas of cryo-EM, ETEM, gas-cell EM and liquid-cell EM.</span></p><div style="margin: 0px 0px 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Times; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p style="margin: 0px 0px 14.9px; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal; font-family: Times; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""><b class="">M&M 2017 Sunday Short Courses</b></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Times; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""><b class=""><i class="">Organizer: Elizabeth Wright, Emory University</i></b></span></p>
