Confronting the "Weaponization" of Genetics by Racists Online and Elsewhere.
Hastings Cent Rep
December 2024
Genomics research is regularly appropriated in social and political contexts to publicly legitimize unjust and malicious political views, policies, and actions. In recent years, there have been high-profile cases of mass shooters, public intellectuals, and political insiders using genomics findings to convince audiences that deadly force and coercive policies against racial minorities are warranted. To create a just genomics, geneticists must consider what makes their research so attractive and adaptable for the legitimization of unjust ends and what they can do to counter such appropriations.

Community firearm violence (CFV), including fatal and non-fatal shootings that result from interpersonal violence, disproportionately harms people from marginalized racial groups. News reporting on CFV can further exacerbate these harms. However, examining the effects of harmful news reporting on CFV on individuals, communities, and society is hindered by the lack of a consensus definition of harmful reporting on CFV.

The release of allelochemicals is one of the contributing factors to the success of invasive plants in their non-native ranges. It has been hypothesised that the impact of chemicals released by a plant on its neighbours is shaped by shared coevolutionary history, making natives more susceptible to "new" chemicals released by introduced plant species (novel weapons hypothesis). We explored this hypothesis in a New Zealand system where the two invasive plants of European origin, Cytisus scoparius (Scotch broom) and Calluna vulgaris (heather) cooccur with natives like Chionochloa rubra (red tussock) and Leptospermum scoparium (mānuka).

Article Synopsis
- Lung metastasis is a major cause of cancer death, with few effective treatments; T helper 9 (T9) cells show potential in treating tough cases like lung metastases, but more research on their biology is needed.* ! -
- The study involved transferring T1, T9, and T17 cells into different cancer models to compare their effectiveness, using techniques like flow cytometry and RNA sequencing to investigate the reasons behind T9 cells' superior ability to reach the lungs.* ! -
- Results revealed that T9 cells have a stronger ability to target lung metastases due to the CXCR4-CXCL12 pathway, and disabling CXCR4 reduces T9 cells' presence in the lungs, highlighting their
Assault rifle injuries in civilians: ballistics of wound patterns, assessment and initial management.

Purpose: Wounds from assault rifles and their commercial offspring have been encountered with increasing frequency in civilian practice. Our aim is to summarize wound ballistics related to the main injury patterns that can also affect management strategies.
Methods: An online search of the PubMed was conducted for research and review articles published after 2000 in English, using the MeSH terms "gunshot wounds", "mass casualty incidents", "war-related injuries", "soft tissue injuries", "vascular system injuries", "colon injuries", "wound infection", "antibiotic prophylaxis", "debridement", "hemorrhage", "penetrating head injuries", "pneumothorax" and additional free-text terms.
