SUMMARY:Exhibition:Buying Home\, Selling America: the House Catalog\, 1906-1966
DESCRIPTION:Buying Home\, Selling America: the House Catalog\, 1906-1966 brings to light the collection of house catalogs in the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library’s Special Collections. Focusing primarily on the kit house industry of Michigan and the Midwest\, the catalogs provide a portal to explore multiple themes\, such as\, the Michigan house catalog industry\, changing architectural styles\, the business of selling homes\, societal and cultural implications\, and domestic technologies. We hope the exhibit is not simply a nostalgic view back\, but raises awareness of our domestic surroundings today and compels us to ask questions as we look to the future.\n\nThe exhibit is available in the Clark Library (second floor Hatcher) during Hatcher Library hours.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Prisons and Politics in America
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit examines the political reasons for why people are imprisoned: for speaking out\, for writing\, for violating repressive laws\, framed because of their color or politics\, for stealing from the rich\, for refusing the military draft\, for whistleblowing\, for attempting to overthrow the government\, for standing up for a belief\, or for walking over a forbidden line.\n\nThe items focus on maintaining one's humanity behind bars\, promoting political causes\, and offering solidarity in support of prisoners.\n\nThe groups and individuals whose stories are featured in the Labadie Collection share one thing in common: fighting to make a better world. In the process\, many of them have been arrested\, brutalized\, censored\, deported\, imprisoned\, or executed. Some were innocent victims of violent police or discriminatory policies.\n\nThe U-M Library’s Joseph A. Labadie Collection documents the history of social protest movements and marginalized political communities from the nineteenth century to the present. Established in 1911\, it is the oldest and largest public archive of its kind in the world.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME PhD Defense: Olga M. Wroblewski
DESCRIPTION:Volumetric muscle loss (VML) is a common pathological condition caused by traumatic loss of skeletal muscle that exceeds the muscle’s regenerative capabilities and results in functional impairment. Current surgical standards-of-care frequently fail to fully recover contractile function. To address these limitations\, our laboratory has developed scaffold-free tissue engineered skeletal muscle units (SMUs) for the treatment of VML. Isolated skeletal muscle stem cells (satellite cells) and fibroblasts are cultured into a confluent cell monolayer before being rolled into a cylindrical 3D construct. Ideally\, these SMUs could be engineered from small autogenic muscle biopsies\, alleviating the limitations of donor site morbidity and immune rejection seen in current VML treatments. These SMUs are biocompatible\, incorporate into surrounding muscle tissue upon implantation\, and have shown efficacy to partially repair a 30% VML in rat and sheep models. There are two key challenges that must be resolved to successfully translate our technology to a human cell-sourced model. To date\, it has been difficult to grow human cell-sourced SMUs with any noteworthy contractile function. Secondly\, many satellite cells are required for SMU fabrication. Any methodology that can optimize the number of cells obtained in a human skeletal muscle biopsy and enhance the functional properties of the resultant muscle tissue will advance SMUs towards clinical use.\n\nHuman epidermal growth factor (hEGF)\, a mitogen\, has shown promise enhancing myobundle formation and contractile function in vitro. Prior to this thesis work\, the impact of hEGF treatment during the proliferation and differentiation phases of SMU fabrication had yet to be evaluated. We investigated the effects of hEGF on SMU fabrication\, structure\, and biomechanical function. Our results indicated that hEGF was critical for the development of contractile function in human cell-sourced SMUs.\n\nDue to the small amount of satellite cells present in skeletal muscle\, we also sought to optimize our methodologies so that fewer satellite cells are needed to be isolated to fabricate SMUs.  Currently\, we have been successful at fabricating functional SMUs using lower cell-seeding densities compared to rat and sheep models. By altering the timing of our fabrication protocol and allowing cell cultures to reach >90% confluency in media that promotes proliferation\, we found that we could lower starting cell-seeding density by 90% compared to ovine models with no detrimental impact to monolayer development or SMU function.\n\nTo further expand the capabilities of satellite cells from a single autogenic skeletal muscle biopsy\, we evaluated the impact of in vitro cell proliferation (increasing cell number by cell passaging) on human primary skeletal muscle cells within an engineered skeletal muscle tissue environment. While cell passaging decreased the percentage of myogenic cells in the total cell population\, results indicated that human primary skeletal muscle cells can be passaged without negatively impacting the contractile function of a skeletal muscle construct compared to one created with unpassaged cells.  A single passage can increase the total cell yield from a human skeletal muscle biopsy fiftyfold compared to cells harvested without a passage.\n\nOverall\, this work significantly contributed to the field of skeletal muscle tissue engineering by advancing fabrication methodologies to develop SMUs of appropriate structure and function for human application. We addressed two key limitations in human cell-sourced skeletal muscle tissue engineering by optimizing cell culture conditions to increase the cell yield from a single skeletal muscle biopsy while promoting SMU biomechanical function.\n\nDate: Wednesday\, January 12\, 2022\nTime: 10:00 AM EST\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUocu2gqjMpGdelbor8Vj43NvRde859Q-EE\n(Zoom link requires prior registration)\nChair: Dr. Lisa Larkin

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Envision: The Michigan Artist Initiative
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition: Nov 12\, 2021 - January 22\, 2022\nPublic Opening and Award Ceremony: November 12\, 2021\nOrganized by Stamps Gallery\, Envision: The Michigan Artist Initiative is a new awards program designed to support the development of contemporary artists living and working in Michigan. This inaugural program recognizes the creativity\, rigor\, and innovation of Michigan-based artists and collaboratives — and honors their role in inspiring the next generations of artists in our state. \nThe call for work went out to artists across the state in March 2020. In July 2020\, Envision jurors Carla Acevedo-Yates\, Curator\, MCA Chicago\; Ken Aptekar (BFA &#039\;73)\, Artist\; and Loring Randolph (BFA &#039\;04)\, Director\, Frieze New York\; gathered virtually to review the submissions. \nAfter evaluating 259 submissions from across the state\, the jurors selected five finalists to receive a group exhibition at Stamps Gallery. \nOn December 10\, 2021\, one finalist will be named the 2021 Envision Award recipient\, receiving a cash prize. \nThe exhibition will tour to different venues in Michigan\, including the Crooked Tree Art Center in Traverse City. \nEnvision Finalists\nNayda Collazo-Llorens examines the way in which we perceive and process information\, dealing with concepts of navigation\, memory\, language\, hyperconnectivity and noise through her interdisciplinary creative practice. Learn more: naydacollazollorens.com\nThrough oil painting\, Michael Dixon explores the personal\, societal\, and aesthetic struggles of belonging to both \"white\" and \"black\" racial and cultural identities\, yet simultaneously belonging fully to neither.
