Article Synopsis
- T cell-based immunotherapy is gaining attention for its ability to treat cancer by activating T cells to target and kill cancer cells through antigen-directed cytotoxicity.
- Mechanical signaling is highlighted as a crucial yet often overlooked factor that influences T cell responses, from activation to destruction of cancer cells.
- Recent advancements in interdisciplinary fields like chemistry and biomaterials have led to new techniques in surface engineering that can enhance T cell mechano-sensitivity and improve immunotherapy outcomes, although more research is still needed in this emerging area.

Article Synopsis
- The study looks at how Asian and Asian American professors are represented in the field of ear, nose, and throat (ENT) medicine and how race might affect their chances for promotion.
- It examined data from U.S. medical schools from 2020 to 2023, finding that while Asians make up over 20% of the faculty, they have lower chances of being promoted to higher ranks or achieving tenure compared to other races.
- The results suggest that even though there are many Asian faculty members, more work is needed to ensure they have the same chances for advancement in their careers as their peers.
