Orlando Argüello-Miranda grew up in Costa Rica. After receiving a B.Sc. from the National University, he moved to Germany to pursue a PhD in cell biology at the Max Planck Institute for Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden. He completed his doctoral dissertation working at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Munich. His thesis described the regulatory protein network that controls major transitions during specialized forms of cell division, such as meiosis. Orlando joined the laboratory of the late Andreas Doncic at UT Southwestern in Texas for his postdoctoral work, where he earned a K99 Pathway to Independence Award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH-GMS) under the supervision of Gaudenz Danuser. In Augusts 2022, Orlando officially started his own laboratory at the department of Plant and Microbial Biology at North Carolina State University. His group's research aims to understand how cells control cell division during dormant or quiescent states. Orlando likes to spend time writing fiction and studying languages.

Cdc14 plans autophagy for meiotic cell divisions

Feng, W., Arguello-Miranda, O., Qian, S., & Wang, F. (2022, May 28). AUTOPHAGY, Vol. 18.

By: W. Feng*, O. Arguello-Miranda n, S. Qian* & F. Wang*

author keywords: Atg1; Atg13; autophagy; Cdc14; meiosis; phosphatase; sporulation
MeSH headings : Adaptor Proteins, Signal Transducing / metabolism; Autophagy; Autophagy-Related Proteins / metabolism; Meiosis; Saccharomyces cerevisiae Proteins / metabolism
TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo assays revealed that the conserved phosphatase Cdc14 stimulates autophagy initiation during meiotic divisions, specifically in anaphase I and II, when a subpopulation of active CDC14 relocates to the cytosol and interacts with phagophore assembly sites (PAS) triggering the dephosphorylation of Atg13 to stimulate Atg1 kinase activity and autophagic activity.

Live-cell fluorescence spectral imaging as a data science challenge

Biophysical Reviews.

By: J. Acuña-Rodriguez*, J. Mena-Vega* & O. Argüello-Miranda n

TL;DR: This review aims to provide both the experimental scientist and the data analyst with a straightforward description of the evolution of spectral unmixing algorithms for fluorescence live-cell imaging, and shows how the initial systems of linear equations used to determine the concentration of fluorophores in a pixel progressively evolved into matrix factorization, clustering, and deep learning approaches.
