Optimizing Sorting of Large Cells and Double Emulsion Droplets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
Details<\/h5>\n\n
$\"MA900$ Sorting microcarriers and other large cell types such as spheroids, mesenchymal stem cells, and neurons can be challenging using conventional flow cytometers. The MA900 Cell Sorter Large Particle Sorting software supports highly efficient recovery of large cells and particles. Combined with the 130-\u03bcm microfluidics sorting chip, this purpose-built software enables reliable sorting of semi-large (25\u201335 \u03bcm), large (35\u201350 \u03bcm), and very large (>50 \u03bcm) particles.
\n
\nKey Features of Large Particle Software <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n\t
Automated system calibration and setup for sorting large particles<\/li>\n\t
Custom sort settings for maximum purity and recovery<\/li>\n\t
Proven performance for sorting microcarriers, irrgular large cells and spheroids<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

You've noticed the repeated questions, the misplaced words, the moments that don't quite add up. Maybe it's nothing. Maybe it isn't.

Think back to January. If you've been caregiving this year, you've handled more than you probably give yourself credit for: appointments, decisions, quiet moments no one else saw.

Seminar Title<\/h3>\n\n\n\t
Post-transcriptional Regulation of the Cardiac Proteome<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Alternative splicing (AS) presents a major source of proteoform diversity. However, whereas transcriptomics studies have cataloged extensive isoform variations, their translation into functional proteoforms and regulatory states, in particular regulation under stress and disease conditions, remains poorly defined at the protein level. Many splicing events alter intrinsically disordered and regulatory regions, suggesting that AS may shape proteoform-specific responses to stress and influence protein organization within the cell. In this seminar, we will report on a strategy to extend beyond the limitations of trypsin-based bottom-up proteomics, where splice junction peptides are often poorly captured, integrating a middle-down proteomics approach to improve detection of alternative proteoforms and resolve combinatorial post-translational modifications. This approach greatly expands the detection of alternative protein isoforms and reveals coordinated regulation of isoform expression and post-translational modifications under stress conditions. The findings support a model where alternative splicing is dynamically regulated by proteoform-level modifications and compartment-specific factors, revealing mechanisms that potentially shape splicing outcomes across cellular environments.<\/p>\n\n

Parenting is rewarding, but it can also be overwhelming.

The Reality: <\/strong>Making friends isn't as simple for today's children as it was for previous generations. Many kids need real guidance to build the social and emotional skills that lead to lasting relationships, it doesn't always come naturally anymore.<\/p>\n\n
The Challenge:<\/strong> Parents want to help, but it's easy to cross the line from teaching a skill to solving the problem for your child, which can leave them less equipped to handle the next social hurdle on their own.<\/p>\n\n

Eating well after 50 isn't about dieting \u2014 it's about understanding what your body needs now. This workshop covers how aging affects appetite, metabolism, and nutritional needs; key nutrients to prioritize; and what current research says about weight and physical activity. Includes practical guidance for family caregivers managing their own nutrition alongside caregiving responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n
The Reality:<\/strong> Nutritional needs change meaningfully with age, affecting energy, muscle mass, immune function, and the risk of chronic disease, but most of us are still working from guidelines that don't account for these shifts.<\/p>\n\n
The Challenge: <\/strong>Finding reliable, practical guidance that applies to where you actually are. Most nutrition information targets younger adults or focuses on weight loss rather than healthy aging.<\/p>\n\n
What You'll Gain:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n\t
A clear picture of how aging affects your dietary needs, appetite, and key nutrients<\/li>\n\t
Evidence-based guidance on weight, BMI, and physical activity after 50<\/li>\n\t
Strategies for sustaining your own nutrition when caregiving is pulling your attention elsewhere<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
This session is practical and grounded in current research. Whether you're focused on your own health or trying to support someone else's, you'll leave with tools you can actually use.<\/p>\n\n
Open to all U of A employees and family members. Especially relevant for adults 50+ and those in caregiving roles.<\/p>\n\n

Overview<\/h2>\n\n
Academic Excellence Day began in 1999 when Maricopa Medical Center (now Valleywise Health) and Mayo Clinic Scottsdale Departments of Academic Affairs developed a program to highlight resident training program research efforts. The program was a success, and in 2004, the Arizona Medical Education Consortium (AzMEC) was asked to participate.<\/p>\n\n
The concept of Academic Excellence Day was developed and approved by all of the Phoenix-area members (all allopathic programs in Maricopa County) and the first city-wide Academic Excellence Day was held in 2005 at Mayo Clinic under the direction of AzMEC President, Michael D. Grossman, MD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
The program was held annually on the first Wednesday in May and rotated at the participatory hospitals until the University of Arizona College of Medicine \u2013 Phoenix formally opened. Each of the participatory hospitals paid a fee to participate based on the number of residents the hospital had and continued that way until 2015 when the MICA Medical Foundation began providing funding each year. In 2020, the format went virtual in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to allow people to participate and judge in the safety of their own space. After two years of a virtual format, 2023 will again be offering a hybrid format of virtual posters and an in-person oral presentation event.<\/p>\n\n
The mission of Academic Excellence Day is to promote an environment of academic excellence amongst trainees in our participating institutions. Academic Excellence Day will provide an opportunity for residents and fellows in training programs in the greater Phoenix area to showcase the volume of bench and clinical research and quality improvement initiatives being performed.<\/p>\n\n
There will be an option to virtually join the oral presentation event through Zoom. A link will be made available and sent to those who RSVP as the event date nears.
\nIf you have questions about the event, please contact the Academic Excellence Day Coordinator at PBC-AEDPhx@arizona.edu<\/a><\/em>
