SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | High-Precision Measurement of the W Boson Mass at CDF
DESCRIPTION:We present a measurement of the mass of the W boson\, the charged mediator of the weak force. The measurement is performed using data corresponding to 8.8/fb of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron between 2002 and 2011. In a sample with approximately 4 million W boson candidate events\, we measure M(W) = 80433.5+-6.4(stat)+-6.9(syst) MeV = 80433.5+-9.4 MeV. The measurement has a precision exceeding that of all previous measurements of M(W) combined and it is in significant tension with the standard model expectation. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Evaluation of Phosphate Treatment and Long-Term RUNX2 Suppression On Adult Human MSC Chondrogenesis and Neo-Cartilage Formation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nClinical repair strategies for articular cartilage defects are limited by the inability of the tissue to self-repair\, often resulting in post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). PTOA arises from the degradation of structural cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins responsible for maintaining articular cartilage mechanics\, such as aggrecan and collagen. Current cartilage tissue engineering strategies aim to utilize human-derived cells to regenerate cartilage prior to the onset of PTOA. Limited availability of chondrocytes – the primary cell type in articular cartilage – imposes a need for alternatives. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are a promising solution as they can be found in a variety of tissues and can differentiate into MSC-derived chondrocytes (MdChs). However\, MSCs are limited by their inability to produce a stable chondrogenic phenotype and deposit and maintain ECM in long-term culture due to maturation\, (hypertrophy) where metalloproteinases cleave collagen II and aggrecan. As a result\, MSC-derived cartilage regeneration techniques are not yet suitable for clinical use. The central objective of this thesis is to increase cartilage matrix accumulation for more clinically functional cartilage tissue by increasing matrix deposition and stabilizing the chondrogenic phenotype of MSCs.\n\nWe investigated two approaches to increase cartilage ECM accumulation and improve MdCh-based cartilage tissue engineering functional outcomes: inorganic phosphate (Pi) treatment and RUNX2 suppression. First\, we found that Pi increased cartilage ECM production\, but also increased MdCh hypertrophy\, while RUNX2 suppression increased stiffness of neo-cartilage tissues long-term. Finally\, we showed that combined treatment of Pi and RUNX2 suppression exhibited reduced MdCh hypertrophy but did not significantly increase matrix accumulation. Overall\, this dissertation explores methodologies that promote both cartilage matrix accumulation and reduces cartilage matrix loss during long-term culture to better support the use of MdChs in cartilage defect repair strategies.\n\nZoom Link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/98189564171 Password: cartilage\n\nCommittee Chair: Dr. Rhima Coleman

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RNA Innovation Seminar: David Shechner\, University of Washington
DESCRIPTION:David Shechner Ph.D.\nAssistant Professor of Pharmacology\nUniversity of Washington\n\nKeywords: RNA\, proximity-biotinylation\, subcellular architecture\, nuclear architecture\, spatial biology\, biomolecular condensates\, interactomics\, nucleolus\, Xist.\n\nAbstract: In the context of the living cell\, very little RNA is naked. RNA molecules form complex\, dynamic networks of molecular interactions that underlie a host of biochemical functions\, and which are central to organizing subcellular compartmentalization. In humans\, for example\, RNAs are key determinants of chromatin folding\, and they nucleate and scaffold a host of biomolecular condensates that collectively control cellular metabolic\, epigenetic\, and stress-signaling pathways. But\, characterizing these structures—identifying the biomolecules within an RNA's subcellular microenvironment—remains technically cumbersome. \n\nTo address this challenge\, I introduce oligonucleotide-mediated proximity-interactome mapping (O-MAP)\, a straightforward and flexible method for identifying the proteins\, RNAs\, and genomic loci near a target RNA\, within its native cellular context. O-MAP uses programmable oligonucleotide probes to deliver proximity-biotinylating enzymes to a target RNA. These enzymes then pervasively label all nearby (~20 nm) molecules\, enabling their enrichment by streptavidin pulldown. O-MAP induces exceptionally precise RNA-targeted biotinylation\, and its modular design enables straightforward validation of probe pools and real-space optimization of the biotinylation radius\, thus overcoming key technical challenges for the field. Moreover\, O-MAP can be readily ported across different target RNAs and specimen types\, including patient-derived organoids and tissue samples. And\, O-MAP achieves this without complex cell-line engineering\, using only off-the-shelf parts and standard manipulations. \n\nUsing a small cohort of model RNAs\, we have developed a robust O-MAP toolkit for proteomic (O-MAP-MS)\, transcriptomic (O-MAP-Seq) and genome interaction (O-MAP-ChIP) discovery. O-MAP of the 47S-pre-rRNA—the long noncoding RNA that scaffolds the nucleolus—enabled a comprehensive \"multi-omic\" analysis of this subnuclear structure\, and revealed hundreds of novel nucleolar protein-\, RNA-\, and chromatin interactions. O-MAP of XIST—the master regulator of X-chromosome inactivation—revealed novel RNAs that may play a role in this process\, and unanticipated interactions between XIST and other chromatin-regulatory RNAs. Finally\, targeting O-MAP to introns within a key cardiac developmental gene enabled unprecedented molecular dissection of a subnuclear compartment that would be impossible to purify biochemically.\n\nGiven these results\, we believe that O-MAP will be a powerful tool for elucidating the mechanisms by which RNA molecules drive subcellular compartmentalization in time and space\, with particular impact on our understanding of nuclear architecture. Moreover\, with O-MAP's precision\, flexibility\, and ease\, we anticipate its broad use in studying countless other RNA phenomena throughout biology\, and as a clinical diagnostic- and discovery tool. \n\n\nHYBRID SEMINAR:\nIn-person: BSRB\, ABC seminar rooms\nLivestream: https://myumi.ch/NmGqG

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Taking from Charity? Political Contributions and the Market for Charitable Funds.
DESCRIPTION:This paper estimates the effects of large donors’ political contributions on charitable contributions and fundraising. Political contributions reduce the effectiveness of charitable fundraising\, particularly in the Health and Other sectors. Charities therefore reduce fundraising\, which contributes to an overall elasticity of private charitable contributions to political contributions of -0.07. This aggregate effect combines large political donors’ charitable contribution behavior with spillover effects of their political giving on the charitable giving patterns of the remainder of the population. Subsequent analysis allows for heterogeneity in the ideologies of both political and charitable recipients.
