SUMMARY:Well-being:Learn to Meditate in 3 days
DESCRIPTION:Make meditation part of your goal to strengthen your mental well-being. Discover three core practices—meditation\, rejuvenation\, and inner connect in just three session.\n\nMeditation is a mindful journey for regulating your mind. It’s like a mental workout\, training the mind to focus on a single thought amid the 60\,000 that pass through daily. With 3 core practices it cultivates effortless concentration\, heightened awareness\, and presence in the moment\, allowing a shift from thinking to feeling. Meditation also leads to a deeper state of relaxation\, regulating the stress response and promoting numerous health benefits.\n\nThe session will be guided by a trainer via Zoom meeting for all 3 days from noon to 1 p.m. All U-M students\, faculty\, and staff are welcome to join at no cost. No prior experience with meditation is required.\n\nEvent Details\n*When: Every month for 3 days (attending all 3 sessions is recommended)*\n\nThe session is Remote over Zoom and upon registration you will have the Zoom MeetingId and Passcode\nSee Related Links for registration\n\nThis wellness program is coordinated by Information Technology and Services (ITS) Teaching & Learning\, and is provided at no cost by heartfulness.org.\n\nJoin the MCommunity group for email updates – Meditation for wellness

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LSI Seminar Series: RACing from border cell migration to an improved cancer immunotherapy
DESCRIPTION:The small GTPase Rac is a key node in the signaling and cytoskeletal networks that govern cell shape and dynamic behaviors. Rac proteins are ancient and highly conserved in evolution. In the 1990s\, we discovered the role of Rac in cell migration. Recently we discovered that hyperactivation of Rac causes cells to engulf and kill other cells in the Drosophila ovary and in mammalian macrophages. This behavior likely contributes to the immunodeficiency phenotypes of human patients carrying activating mutations in the hematopoietic-specific RAC2 gene. We found that hyperactivating Rac also enhances chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-)macrophage engulfment of human tumor cells and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis. Thus Rac-enhanced macrophages offer a general approach to improving therapeutic monoclonal antibodies.
