IAS / School of Science Joint Lecture - Use of Large Animal Models to Investigate Brain Diseases
Abstract
Genetically modified animal models have been extensively used to investigate the pathogenesis of age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer (AD), Parkinson (PD), Huntington (HD) diseases, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The common feature of these diseases…

Seminar on Applied Mathematics - A moving contact line model on elastic membrane
Young's law is a successful theory in the study of contact angle at the three-phase contact line on a rigid solid substrate. When the solid substrate is soft and deformable, the situation is more complicated. We propose a new mathematical model for the moving contact lines on an elastic membrane.
