Although the MZT is typically considered from its impact on the transcriptome\, we previously found that three maternally deposited Drosophila RNA binding proteins (ME31B\, Trailer Hitch [TRAL]\, and Cup) are also cleared during the MZT by unknown mechanisms. Here\, we show that these proteins are degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Marie Kondo\, an E2 conjugating enzyme\, and the E3 CTLH ligase are required for the destruction of ME31B\, TRAL\, and Cup. Structure modeling of the Drosophila CTLH complex suggests that substrate recognition is different than orthologous complexes. Despite occurring hours earlier\, egg activation mediates clearance of these proteins through the Pan Gu kinase\, which stimulates translation of Kondo mRNA. Clearance of the maternal protein dowry thus appears to be a coordinated\, but as-yet underappreciated\, aspect of the MZT.

The cerebral vasculature has an innate ability to compensate for flow reductions\, caused by the presence of CVOD\, through a network of collateral pathways in the circle of Willis (CoW). However\, flow compensation is highly patient-specific and dependent on the cerebral vasculature anatomy\, availability of collateral pathways\, degree of stenosis and\, the condition of the cerebral microcirculation and its autoregulatory response. Unfortunately\, clinically available imaging tools only provide limited information on flow compensation and the underlying cerebral hemodynamics. Given the complexity of the cerebral vasculature\, better tools are necessary to characterize cerebral hemodynamics and guide the risk assessment of ischemic stroke.\n\n \n\nImage-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) provides a powerful tool for non-invasively analyzing cerebral hemodynamics with high spatial and temporal resolutions. However\, CFD modeling of cerebral hemodynamics is challenging due to the need for patient-specific data to calibrate outflow boundary conditions in the brain. In this thesis\, we explore a novel strategy to quantitatively characterize cerebral hemodynamics using CFD in combination with tissue perfusion from arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI.\n\n \n\nFirstly\, we quantified territorial perfusion in the cerebral circulation through implementing and optimizing a vessel-selective arterial spin labeling (VS-ASL) sequence. VS-ASL is generally limited by its low labeling efficiency causing poor signal-to-noise ratio. We investigated the effects of off‐resonance\, pulsatility\, and vessel movement\, and evaluated methods to maximize labeling efficiency and overall image quality. We found that an off-resonance calibration scan in combination with cardiac-triggering significantly improved labeling efficiency and image quality. Vessel movement during the MRI protocol occurred in the majority of study subjects and needs to be accounted for to maximize labeling efficiency.\n\n \n\nSecondly\, we developed a strategy to calibrate patient-specific CFD models of cerebral blood flow. The calibration consisted of estimating the total inflow to the CoW from PC-MRI and the flow splits in the CoW from non-selective ASL perfusion images. The outflow boundary conditions were iteratively tuned to match the estimated flow splits\, and the ASL-calibrated CFD model was then validated against territorial perfusion maps from VS-ASL by calculating the blood supply to each cerebral territory using Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT). We found an overall good match in a small group of subjects\; particularly\, the flow compensation between hemispheres was captured well by the calibrated CFD models.\n\n \n\nThirdly\, we investigated the impact of two outflow boundary condition strategies\, an ASL-based and allometric-based calibration\, on cerebral hemodynamics. The ASL-based calibrated CFD analysis captured the flow compensation between hemispheres as measured with VS-ASL and lead to an approximately symmetrical flow distribution in the CoW. In contrast\, the allometric-based calibrated CFD analysis was unable to capture the collateral flow compensation\, which resulted in large differences in flow between hemispheres.\n\n \n\nFinally\, the clinical feasibility and capabilities of our proposed CFD analysis was demonstrated in two CVOD patients. The CFD analysis showed significant differences in cerebral hemodynamics between the patients despite similar degrees of stenosis severity\, highlighting the importance of a patient-specific assessment. Comparison of pre-operative and post-operative hemodynamics in one patient resulted in only minor changes following revascularization despite severe carotid stenosis. We demonstrated that our CFD analysis can provide detailed and quantitative information about hemodynamic impact of carotid stenosis and collateral flow compensation in the circle of Willis.\n\n\nDate: Tuesday\, May 4\, 2021\n\nTime: 3:00 PM\n\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/93059726229 (Zoom link requires prior registration)\n\nCo-Chairs: Dr. C.

The ubiquity and importance of these commensal communities underscore their potential as an untapped reservoir of biological function\, and recent increased interest into commensal microbial species has led to countless insights in this field. Due to these efforts\, the opportunity now exists to capitalize on the increasingly sophisticated understanding of the human microbiota and expand research efforts beyond characterization\, toward engineering. Commensal microbes are already perfectly suited for safe and effective habitation and colonization of various physiological niches\; what remains is to harness their genomic plasticity and promote their capacity to function as robust biochemical factories. The Sirk Lab aims to engineer therapeutic capacity into commensal microorganisms to address unmet needs in human health\, with a specific focus on generating strains of human gut bacterial species that can produce disease-fighting biological compounds in the intestinal tract to address key limitations with current therapeutic approaches for important diseases such as recurrent gastrointestinal infections. We are also pursuing studies focused on respiratory disease in both humans and animals of agricultural relevance.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nProf. Sirk received her AB in Biology from Occidental College in Los Angeles\, CA and her Ph.D. in Molecular and Medical Pharmacology from UCLA. Her doctoral studies focused on engineering antibody fragments for targeted tumor imaging using positron emission tomography. Her postdoctoral training began at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla\, CA\, where she continued to work with engineered antibodies while also performing detailed protein engineering studies to generate site-specific nucleases and recombinases for targeted genome modifications\, in the era immediately prior to the introduction of CRISPR-based gene editing technology. She then pursued further postdoctoral training at Stanford University where she first began to explore the world of commensal microbes by studying the role that gut bacteria play in the activation of drug-like dietary molecules. At the University of Illinois\, her research group aims to leverage the power of protein engineering\, therapeutic biomolecules\, and the ever-expanding opportunities of commensal microbial species and communities to address critical needs in disease prevention and treatment in humans\, animals\, insects\, and plants.\n\nHOSTS:\nMatthew Ostrowski\nThomas Schmidt\n\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/96357036922 UID:83930-21619144@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/83930 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Drug Discovery,Life Science,Pre Med,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210414T183035 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210505T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210505T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Aspiring Leaders Program DESCRIPTION:Wipfli's Aspiring Leaders Program is a firm wide virtual eventfor students who have an interest in learning more about a career in Public Accounting and a career in Finance!

With the onset of Zionism\, this “question” migrated to Palestine and intensified under British colonial rule and in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Zionism’s attempt to solve the “Jewish Question” created what came to be known as the “Arab Question\,” which concerned the presence and rights of the Arab population in Palestine. For the most part\, however\, Jewish settlers denied or dismissed the question they created\, to the detriment of both Arabs and Jews in Palestine and elsewhere.\n\nThis book brings together leading scholars to consider how these two questions are entangled historically and in the present day. It offers critical analyses of Arab engagements with the question of Jewish rights alongside Zionist and non-Zionist Jewish considerations of Palestinian identity and political rights. Together\, the essays show that the Arab and Jewish questions\, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which they have become subsumed\, belong to the same thorny history. Despite their major differences\, the historical Jewish and Arab questions are about the political rights of oppressed groups and their inclusion within exclusionary political communities—a question that continues to foment tensions in the Middle East\, Europe\, and the United States. Shedding new light on the intricate relationships among Orientalism\, anti-Semitism\, Islamophobia\, colonialism\, and the impasse in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict\, this book reveals the inseparability of Arab and Jewish struggles for self-determination and political equality.\n\nBashir Bashir is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology\, Political Science\, and Communication at the Open University of Israel and a senior research fellow at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. He is the co-editor of The Holocaust and the Nakba: A New Grammar of Trauma and History (Columbia University Press\, 2018).\n\nMoshe Behar holds a PhD from Columbia University and is Associate Professor and Programme Director\, Arabic & Middle Eastern Studies\, University of Manchester.

Who was it for? Conversations about its disciplinary survival continue and repeat attempts to contend with the deconstructive critique of “area.” According to reactions to the deconstructive critique of Area Studies\, which began its course in the 1980s\, we stand on the epistemological precipice of not simply the decline\, but the death of the disciplines that comprise\, for example\, “Asian Studies” and “Latin American Studies.” Yet\, efforts to undo Cold War era formations of knowledge production\, in turn\, have galvanized projects that seek to validate area studies through the rhetoric of their “re-birth\,” often in formats that purport an interdisciplinary awareness to the diversifying demographics of higher education.\n \nIn this webinar\, our aim will be to openly discuss the contradictions between the goal of “antiracist pedagogy” and the limits and possibilities of “Japanese Studies.” In emphasizing a framework of transpacific accountability that interrogates the “area” model through engaging critical race and Indigenous epistemologies\, the webinar proposes a confrontation with the perceived crisis of area fields as an opening for a way to rethink and re-orient antiracist pedagogy. Highlighting a comparative study of race across Japan and Latin America as a case for the transpacific framework\, the webinar introduces critical approaches to the histories of racism\, militarism\, nationalism\, capitalism\, and heterosexism in research and pedagogy across and after the “ends” of area.\n \nAndrea Mendoza is an Assistant Professor of Japanese and Comparative Literature at UC San Diego. Her research areas are in critical race studies\, transpacific studies\, and East Asian and Latin American literatures and visual cultures.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Advances in visual technologies—daguerreotypes\, lithographs\, cartes de visite\, and steam printing presses—enabled people to see and participate in social reform movements in new ways. African American activists seized these opportunities and produced images that advanced campaigns for black rights. \n\nIn this talk based on his book \"Visualizing Identity\,\" (University of North Carolina Press\, 2020) Aston Gonzalez charts the changing roles of African American visual artists as they helped build the world they envisioned. Understudied artists such as Robert Douglass Jr.\, Patrick Henry Reason\, James Presley Ball\, and Augustus Washington produced images to persuade viewers of the necessity for racial equality\, black political leadership\, and freedom from slavery. Moreover\, these activist artists’ networks of transatlantic patronage and travels to Europe\, the Caribbean\, and Africa reveal their extensive involvement in the most pressing concerns for black people in the Atlantic world. Their work demonstrates how images became central to the ways that people developed ideas about race\, citizenship\, and politics during the 19th century.\n\nRegister at myumi.ch/0WEk3\n\nAston Gonzalez is a historian of African American culture and politics during the long 19th century.

It also has required experts from many different backgrounds to rally around in the quest for rapid responses in the race to save lives.\n\nMany of the most prominent of these researchers are from Michigan\, and a significant number of them are computational scientists who addressed questions such as: What measures should be taken to minimize contagion? Is it safe to ride a bus? How are supply and demand chains being affected?\n\nThis virtual symposium will bring together researchers from the State of Michigan to share their past and future insights into the pandemic.\n\nThis is a free Zoom event\, open to the general public.

This lecture examines the experiences of refugees who fled to Costa Rica and the United States as an entry point for understanding webs of hemispheric violence rooted in capitalist accumulation and regional security and immigration policy. Refugees’ stories suggest that dominant narratives about the crisis elide the root causes of violence and any real vision of a more just future for the Americas.\n\nOur speaker\, Jennifer Goett is Associate Professor of Comparative Cultures and Politics at Michigan State University and author of Black Autonomy: Race\, Gender\, and Afro-Nicaraguan Activism (Stanford 2016). Her work examines grassroots social movements\, state violence\, land dispossession\, and infrastructure megaprojects in Central America. Her most recent project focuses on Nicaraguan asylum seekers in Costa Rica and the United States. In addition\, she works as a pro bono expert witness for asylum cases in U.S. immigration court.\n\nThis is the fourth a six-lecture series. The subject of the series is Central America: Coffee to Caravans. The next lecture will occur May 11\, 2021. The title is: Economic Profile of Central America. Learn from well-known experts about an array of interesting subjects\, with an interactive Q&A period following each lecture.\n\nPreregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

Brain-machine interfaces and bioelectric medicine therapies rely on the seamless integration of neural interfaces with the brain\, nerves\, or spinal cord. However\, conventional neural interfaces cannot meet the demands of high channel count\, signal fidelity\, and signal longevity that these applications require.\n\n \n\nIn this thesis we characterized the damage resulting from conventional Utah arrays after multiple years of implantation in the cortex of a non-human primate. The neuron density around the electrode shanks was compared to the neuron density of nearby healthy tissue\, finding a 73% loss in density around the electrodes. The explanted arrays were imaged and characterized for forms of electrode surface inconsistency. Coating cracks\, tip breakage\, and parylene cracks were the most common inconsistency. A significantly higher number of tip breakage and coating crack occurrences were found on the edges of the arrays as compared to the middle. In this work\, we made clear the need for a minimally damaging alternative to the Utah electrode array.\n\n \n\nNeural interfaces composed of carbon fiber electrodes\, with a diameter of 6.8 microns\, could enable a more seamless integration with the body. Previous work resulted in an array of individuated carbon fiber electrodes that could record reliably high signal-to-noise ratio neural signals from the brain for several months. However\, the carbon fiber arrays were limited by only 30% of the electrodes recording neural signals\, despite inducing very minimal inflammation. Additionally\, it was relatively unknown if carbon fibers would make suitable long-term peripheral neural interfaces. Here\, we illustrate the potential of carbon fiber electrodes to meet the needs of a variety of neural applications.\n\n\n\nFirst\, we optimized state-of-the-art carbon fiber electrodes to reliably record single unit electrophysiology from the brain. By analyzing the previous manufacturing process\, the cause of the low recording yield of the carbon fiber arrays was identified as the consistency of the electrode tip. A novel laser cutting technique was developed to produce a consistent carbon fiber tip geometry\, resulting in a near tripling of recording yield of high amplitude chronic neural signals. The longevity of the carbon fiber arrays was also addressed. The conventional polymer coating was compared against platinum iridium coating and an oxygen plasma treatment\, both of which outperformed the polymer coating. In this work\, we customized carbon fiber electrodes for reliable\, long-term neural recording.\n\n \n\nSecondly\, we translated the carbon fiber technology from the brain to the periphery in an architecture appropriate for chronic implantation. The insertion of carbon fibers into the stiffer structures in the periphery is enabled by sharpening the carbon fibers. The sharpening process combines a butane flame to sharpen the fibers with a water bath to protect the base of the array. Sharpened carbon fibers recorded electrophysiology from the rat vagus nerve and feline dorsal root ganglia\, both structures being important targets for bioelectric medicine therapies. The durability of carbon fibers was also displayed when partially embedded carbon fibers in medical-grade silicone withstood thousands of repeated bends without fracture. This work showed that carbon fibers have the electrical and structural properties necessary for chronic application.\n\n \n\nOverall\, this work highlights the vast potential of carbon fiber electrodes. Through this thesis\, future brain-machine interfaces and bioelectric medicine therapies may utilize sub-cellular electrodes such as carbon fibers in medical applications.\n\n \n\nDate: Friday\, May 7\, 2021\n\nTime: 10:00 AM\n\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95839545566 (Zoom link requires prior registration)\n\nChair: Dr. Cynthia Chestek\n\nFor Assistance or Questions\num-bme@umich.edu UID:83883-21587612@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/83883 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,engineer,engineering,Life Science,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210422T102836 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210507T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210507T110000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:U-M Structure Seminar: \"Investigation of RNA 3D Structure & Small Molecule Interactions by a Multidisciplinary Approach\" DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Tidwell\nGraduate Student\nKoutmos Lab\nUniversity of Michigan UID:77785-19931610@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/77785 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Lecture,Structural Biology LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210407T173538 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210507T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210507T173000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Space Symposium 2021 DESCRIPTION:The 2021 virtual Space Symposium is a two-day event planned by the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space at U-M (SEDS@UM) with the goal of demonstrating the space-related projects students and faculty at the University of Michigan are working on.

We've missed you and are thrilled to be offering our Saturday Sampler tours virtually. Join us over Zoom to explore the Kelsey Museum from the comfort of your home.\n\nThe theme of this week's tour is \"Animals in the Kelsey.\"\nAnimals abound in the art and artifacts of the ancient Near East\, Greece\, Egypt\, and Rome. On this guided tour\, learn more about different aspects of animals in antiquity. We'll take a look at animal-themed artifacts in the Kelsey and ask: Was that animal food? A laborer? A pet? A sacrificial victim? We'll also discuss what kinds of animals were symbols of power and strength\, and the meanings different animals had in the ancient world.\n\nZoom link:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/98615763784 UID:83591-21432583@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/83591 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Archaeology,Free LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
