SUMMARY:Presentation:Towards defining principles of cell fate plasticity
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nCell fate plasticity\, a cell’s ability to change its identity and function\, produces the wide variety of cell types needed to form\, maintain\, and regenerate all mammalian tissues. All forms of plasticity are tightly regulated to ensure proper tissue function\, and when aberrantly activated\, can contribute to pathological phenotypes\, including impaired tissue repair and tumorigenesis. Understanding how cellular identity is dysregulated during aging\, injury\, and disease may yield approaches that correct aberrant cell fate transitions with therapeutic applications. This dissertation seeks to characterize the factors that guard cell fate by integrating innovative experimental techniques\, including novel cell lines\, animal models\, and micro-engineered devices\, with high-throughput sequencing assays and bioinformatics tools that map molecular information to cellular responses. \n\nThe first three studies provide insights into the mechanisms that preserve the regenerative capacity of muscle stem cells (MuSCs)\, the resident stem cell population in skeletal muscle. MuSCs lie in a state of mitotic quiescence during homeostasis and activate upon injury to repair damaged tissue while also renewing the quiescent stem cell pool. Over time\, MuSCs accumulate intracellular damage that alters metabolic signaling pathways and transcriptional programs supportive of quiescence\, blunting the efficient regeneration of skeletal muscle. To further understand how MuSCs acquire dysfunctional molecular programs in old age\, we explore the roles of three-dimensional genome organization\, an underexplored histone modification (H4K20me1)\, and a conserved metabolic regulator (Sestrins) in mediating pathological gene expression both at rest and in response to injury. We find that natural aging in MuSCs is accompanied by subtle shifts in global genome architecture and metabolic signaling that are sufficient to induce aberrant regenerative trajectories. \n\nThe fourth and fifth studies describe continuing efforts to develop new models for engineering cell fate. In one study\, we identify barriers to cell fate transitions by reprogramming somatic cells such that a specialized cell fate is erased and a new identity is adopted. This process requires spatial remodeling of the epigenetic landscape that is constrained by interactions between peripheral heterochromatin and the protein scaffold that lines the interior of the nucleus. We show that manipulating components of the nuclear scaffold prior to reprogramming alters mechanical properties of the nucleus and peripheral heterochromatin organization\, which converge to drive changes in reprogramming dynamics. Finally\, we revisit a century-old hypothesis that tumor cells acquire enhanced metastatic potential through fusion with neighboring stromal cells that express pro-metastatic traits such as motility\, chemotaxis\, and tissue tropism. To investigate this concept\, we demonstrate the efficient production of bi-species heterokaryons from human tumor cells and mouse stromal cells in the brain metastatic niche\, which allows genetic and metabolic factors to be assigned to their parent cell by species identity. This approach will allow us to identify and inhibit trans-acting factors that promote malignant fate transitions. \n\nIn summary\, this thesis provides mechanistic insights into cell fate plasticity in varying health contexts and explores new models for deciphering cell fate regulation.\n\nCommittee Chair(s): Dr. Carlos A.

SUMMARY:Well-being:VIRTUAL | CEW+INSPIRE MIDWEEK MINDFULNESS GUIDED SITS
DESCRIPTION:RSVP here: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAqceGoqDosHN15uxUlzCWWN6qwjNjSQpj_ \n\nJoin us in community to practice mindfulness meditation\, a life-enhancing skill that can be learned with consistent practice. This formal\, largely-guided\, practice utilizes evidence-based cognitive training that bolsters one's ability to handle stress\, poor mood\, and threat.  This weekly mindfulness practice encourages present moment\, non-judgemental\, awareness – noticing where your focus and attention are and continually inviting attention to current mind and body sensations in a kind and compassionate way.\n\nMindfulness meditation opens the possibility to pause\, gain perspective\, attend to the present\, and respond accordingly. In our ever-changing\, complex\, and challenging world\, mindfulness can provide grounding. As one form of contemplative practice\, mindfulness meditation can offer a framework to support a more skillful approach to navigating the demands of being human and support practitioners to build resilience and take compassionate action.\n\nWhether you are new to mindfulness meditation or are an experienced practitioner\, each session is designed to offer guidance and support to assist you. All are welcome to attend weekly or drop-in as their schedule allows.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Rings with bases and Schubert polynomials
DESCRIPTION:A category central to algebraic combinatorics is that of “rings with bases”. We’ll look at a very simple example\, the nil Hecke algebra\, and its action on polynomials in infinitely many variables. The resulting dual basis is the “Schubert polynomials”. Surprisingly\, these have positive coefficients\, which we will compute by counting “pipe dreams”.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A Mean Field Game of Sequential Testing
DESCRIPTION:This talk introduces a mean field game for a family of filtering problems related to the classic sequential testing of a Brownian motion’s drift. In our formulation\, agents observe a private signal process and want to make a determination about an unknown binary state of nature. The game arises by allowing the drift of the signal process to incorporate information about the other agents’ actions and enforcing that each agent must minimize an associated Bayes risk. In this setting we are able to develop a deep understanding of the solution structure\, establish the existence of a mean field equilibrium\, and study the equilibria numerically. To the best of our knowledge\, this work presents the first treatment in the literature of a tractable mean field game with information filtering\, optimal stopping\, and a common unobserved noise. This presentation is based on recent joint work with Yuchong Zhang at the University of Toronto.

SUMMARY:Other:K-12 Educators Virtual Learning Session for Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield\, South Carolina
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register: http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=uhlrs88ab&oeidk=a07ejgwqkki472a1a8a.\n \nJoin The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, The Museum of Fine Art\, Boston\, The High Museum of Art\, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art for a collaborative workshop for K-12 educators in connection with the exhibition Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield\, South Carolina. This exhibition features ceramic storage jars made by enslaved potter and poet Dave or David Drake in the 19th century\, alongside other pottery of the same era and region\, as well as contemporary artistic responses. In this workshop you will hear from curators Adrienne Spinozzi\, Jason Young\, and Ethan Lasser\, on their vision and goals for presenting this work\, the process of developing the show\, and the importance of context when teaching with this work. Participants will leave with a solid foundation of content knowledge on the show along with practical strategies for using some of these works in their classrooms. This workshop is the first in a series as the exhibition travels to each museum. \n \nHear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield\, South Carolina will travel to UMMA in Fall 2023. Plan ahead to make classroom and field trip connections!   \n\nPrograms for K-12 students and educators are generously supported by Michigan Medicine\, the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan\, and the Kiwanis Club of Ann Arbor Foundation.
