MyD88-mediated chimaeric antigen receptor macrophages suppress brain metastasis using target-specific phagocytosis - Nature Biomedical Engineering
Abstract Metastatic brain disease occurs in up to 30% of patients with lung, melanoma and breast cancers, and the median survival time remains less than a year. Treating these patients is a challenge because surgical approaches are limited and most chemotherapeutic drugs and immunotherapies are ineffective at crossing the blood–brain barrier (BBB).

IMPRESSIONS: Molly Lieber and Eleanor Smith in Prairie Dawn at Roulette Intermedium
Features > Impressions The Dance Enthusiast's Brand of Review/Thoughts on What We See Molly Lieber and Eleanor Smith have created notably fierce and provocative duets together since 2006. In their latest dance, Prairie Dawn, at Roulette, November 14-16, they again tackle untouchable subjects pertaining to the female gender. These subjects remain largely unspoken but are understood to be part of every woman’s experience.
IMPRESSIONS: Molly Lieber and Eleanor Smith in "Prairie Dawn" at Roulette Intermedium
Features > Impressions The Dance Enthusiast's Brand of Review/Thoughts on What We See Molly Lieber and Eleanor Smith have been creating notably fierce and provocative duets together since 2006. In their latest dance, Prairie Dawn, at Roulette from November 14th to 16th, they again tackle untouchable subjects pertaining to the female gender. These subjects remain largely unspoken but are understood to be part of every woman’s experience.
Computational neurodevelopment: infant decision-making in changing environments
Abstract In recognition of the fact that most psychiatric conditions have neurodevelopmental origins, there is an increasing interest in applying the methodological and conceptual approaches from computational psychiatry to developmental cohorts. However, the challenge of acquiring and modelling behavioural responses in very young infants has thus far proven difficult to overcome.
Polio was painful. Exclusion was worse.
I contracted polio in 1946 at age 3. To my knowledge, I was the first wheelchair user at Goshen College. Crutch walking was barely possible at my level of paralysis. In the mid-1960s, long before laws required access in colleges, every dorm room was up a flight of stairs. For each ascent, as I lifted myself backward on my crutches, a dorm mate stood facing me, ready to push me onto the stairs if a crutch slipped — preferable to a forward plunge.
Noise Pollution Problems: On-Campus and Off
On a bright but cold Thursday afternoon, I was walking to catch the bus while talking to a friend on the phone. As I passed Jack Coffey field and neared the roundabout just past Keating Hall, an unidentifiable song got louder and louder and more and more bothersome. My friend asked what all the noise was, and I told her it seemed like the baseball team was holding a practice and that they were probably playing music. But it was 2:00 p.m. on a weekday in early November.
Viewpoint: Be woke, aware of unfairness
By Eleanor Smith and Sandra Rehder Have you been “woke” up to the happenings of our world? Be woke and aware of our social and political unfairness. Remember why woke was influenced by our black community! In the early 20th century, “woke” was generally used as a call for black people around the world to “wake up” to racial oppression.
Lift and Let Die: James Bond’s gym in the heart of Putney
A gym with a proud history is powering ahead as covid restrictions fade from memory. Physical Culture is tucked under the railway arches near Putney High Street. The club was founded almost a century ago by Margaret Grey, a wealthy spinster from Kensington, to encourage people to get fit. She even kept it running during the Second World War, when the 1,000-strong female membership would write to male members who were away fighting.

A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis Comparing Heterogeneity in Body Mass Responses Between Low‐Carbohydrate and Low‐Fat Diets
Abstract Objective An important notion in personalized medicine is that there is clinically relevant treatment response heterogeneity. Low‐carbohydrate (CHO) and low‐fat diets are widely adopted to reduce body mass. To compare individual differences in responses between two dietary interventions, a formal statistical comparison of response variances between study arms in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) is crucial.
What's the use in trying? The Ethics Centre
In early 2020 I sat in a friend’s house on the coast of New South Wales listening to smoke alarms go off in canon, triggered by the air itself, thick with smoke from the active fronts of the worst bushfire season in living memory. The roads were lined with scorched animals and the climate crisis seemed as inevitable as it did cataclysmic.
Whose home, and who’s home?
Australian citizens who live overseas and want to return to Australia, with some exceptions, now have to pay for their mandatory two-week hotel quarantine. This new rule applies for those returning to New South Wales or Queensland. It means that a single adult returning home must have AUD $3000 to pay for their stay. Last week New Zealand announced a similar policy: citizens returning home to stay less than 90 days will be charged for their quarantine.

Antagonistic Inhibitory Circuits Integrate Visual and Gravitactic Behaviors
Highlights • Negative gravitaxis in Ciona larvae is triggered by dimming illumination • Inhibitory input from the visual system suppresses gravitaxis until dimming • Output from the gravitaxis organ results in asymmetric motor inhibition • Reorientation behavior is evoked in downward- but not upward-facing larvae Summary Larvae of the tunicate Ciona intestinalis possess a central nervous system of 177 neurons. This simplicity has facilitated the generation of a complete synaptic connectome.

The Privileged and Impoverished Life of Phillis Wheatley
The 2017 thriller Get Out, which won Jordon Peele an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, has been praised for its ability to demonstrate the insidiousness of racism. The movie highlights the idea that even racial “tolerance” is sometimes only thinly-masked fetishism and appropriation. While the movie is new, the sentiment is not. In fact, Phillis Wheatley, the famed African American poet of the American Revolution, has a lot in common Get Out’s protagonist, Chris Washington.
Buyer’s Remorse: How Stores Use Science To Get You To Buy
Have you ever opened your closet and wondered why you bought that hideous sweater? Well, it turns out that maybe you weren’t responsible. Instead, the culprit may be science. In a new article in The Atlantic, Eleanor Smith delves into the science behind many purchases, looking at 13 different scientific studies that add up to big bucks for retailers, particularly during the holiday season.
The Science Behind Why You Buy What You Do
What is less well known is that snootiness can deliver a sale. Say a customer walks into a luxury store and is greeted with an askance look from a salesperson and no offer of assistance. You might think the customer would turn around and take her money elsewhere.
The Pill Pusher - The Atlantic
A better way to dispense prescriptions Twenty percent of American adults are on more than five prescription drugs—that is, when they remember to take them. Medication non-adherence—taking too many pills, not taking enough pills, taking the wrong pills at the wrong times—has vast costs, in dollars and lives.
Better Hygiene Through Humiliation
As doctors and nurses move through hospitals, they aren’t the only ones making rounds—hitching a ride on their hands are dangerous bacteria that can lead to infections ranging from antibiotic-resistant staph to norovirus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, health-care-related infections affected nearly 650,000 Americans and led to about 75,000 deaths in 2011 alone. Clean hands would have helped prevent many of them.
One Simple Invention to Avoid Spoiled Food Forever
How many times have you warily eyed a milk carton’s sell-by date, sniffed its contents, and then, with a shrug, tossed it in the trash? When in doubt, the saying goes, throw it out. And sure enough, every year, about 40 percent of all food in the U.S. goes uneaten; a typical four-person household discards roughly $1,500 worth.
A Stethoscope That Can See
A new tool lets doctors turn sound waves into graphs. For nearly 200 years, the stethoscope has allowed doctors to eavesdrop on the beat of patients’ hearts and the whoosh of their blood. Although the device has been refined over time, its effectiveness still depends on a decidedly low-tech variable: the human ear. Even the most attuned examiner might imagine hearing a subtle abnormality, leading to expensive and ultimately unnecessary tests—or miss one, overlooking a potential red flag.
The Good-Luck Charm That Solved a Public-Health Problem
Warding off anemia with small iron fish In 2008, Christopher Charles was living in Cambodia and researching anemia. The condition, which is commonly caused by iron deficiency, afflicts roughly half of Cambodia’s children and pregnant women. Untreated, it can lead to lethargy, impaired growth and cognitive development in children, and increased risks of premature delivery and maternal mortality.
