In this study, we explored racial microaggressions (RMAs) and adoption microaggressions (AMAs) experienced and committed by white adoptive parents of transracial adoptees. Two research questions guided this inquiry: (a) What types of RMAs and AMAs do white adoptive parents of children adopted from China experience and commit? and (b) how is white adoptive parental awareness of race and adoption related to their committing of microaggressions? Based on qualitative coding of interviews conducted with 39 white adoptive parents of Chinese adoptees, the most frequently coded AMA was for experienced AMAs and for committed AMAs. was the most experienced RMA, and was the most committed RMA. Parents tended to have high awareness of the AMAs (87%) and RMAs (89%) they experienced from others, yet this awareness did not preclude them from committing RMAs and AMAs within their transracially adoptive family.

Safety and activity of CTX130, a CD70-targeted allogeneic CRISPR-Cas9-engineered CAR T-cell therapy, in patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell malignancies (COBALT-LYM): a single-arm, open-label, phase 1, dose-escalation study.

Background: Effective treatment options are scarce for relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma. This study assesses the safety and activity of CTX130 (volamcabtagene durzigedleucel), a CD70-directed, allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) immunotherapy manufactured from healthy donor T cells, in patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma.
Methods: This single-arm, open-label, phase 1 study was done at ten medical centres across the USA, Australia, and Canada in patients (aged ≥18 years) with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, who had received at least one or at least two previous systemic therapy lines, respectively, and had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how cryo-thermal therapy (CTT) influences the immunosuppressive tumor environment and identifies neutrophils as key responders in promoting antitumor immunity.
- Researchers utilized flow cytometry and immunofluorescence to analyze neutrophil recruitment after CTT and assessed their role in enhancing immune responses through various assays.
- Findings indicate that CTT triggers a robust neutrophil response, which boosts monocyte activation and T cell activity, suggesting that targeting neutrophils and monocytes with CTT could improve immunotherapy effectiveness.

Background: Immunogenic cell death (ICD) and ferroptosis have recently emerged as key factors in the anticancer immune response. Among the treatments able to induce ICD and the associated release of danger signals is photodynamic therapy (PDT). Ferroptosis for its part results from lipid peroxidation and is induced by CD8 T cells to kill nearby cancer cells on IFN-γ production.

Obesity is a risk factor for increased lung damage and disease severity during influenza virus infection. White adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation is a key driver of disease pathogenesis in obesity. Whether and how obesity modifies lung and WAT immune cell character and function in obesity to amplify influenza disease severity remains unknown.

For three decades, researchers have assessed children's genetic essentialism through an "Adoption Task," probing their beliefs about whether adopted babies grow up to resemble their birthparents or adoptive parents. The present study investigates these beliefs among children who were themselves adopted or donor-conceived (i.e.
