Abstract:
Abstract Diversity in B lymphocyte antigen specificity, necessary for effective adaptive immunity, arises from structural diversity of the B cell receptor generated by random somatic rearrangement of the immunoglobin heavy (IgH) and light chain loci during lymphocyte development. Antigen-experienced (memory) B cells are stimulated to proliferate upon successful binding of antigen, whereas the extent to which unexperienced (naïve) cells proliferate, if it all, is unclear. During memory clonal expansion, daughter cells undergo somatic hypermutation, which introduces random single nucleotide vari

Abstract:
Equal employment opportunity policies were introduced in Australia in the 1980s in response to women's disadvantaged workforce position. Australia's unique form of affirmative action was underpinned by legislation, and aimed to promote gender equity in the workplace via employer action. Throughout the 1990s there has been a policy shift away from collectivism towards individualism, and away from externally driven social programmes at the workplace towards managerialist driven social programmes. The main process for implementing progressive and inclusive equity programmes at the workplace is th

AbstractFor five decades now the various levels of government in the United States, through the use of affirmative action and diversity policies, have sought a more racially and gender-wise equitable society with respect to equal employment opportunity. Governments established hiring goals for women and racial minorities. Goals became quotas as state and local governments (and private employers) that were dependent on federal money made certain that goals produced desired results by preferring people based on their race or gender.

AbstractMuch of the pivotal debate concerning the validity of affirmative action is situated in a legal context of defending or challenging claims that there may be broad societal gains from increased diversity. Race-conscious affirmative action policies originally advanced legal sanctions to promote racial equity in the United States.

Drawing on intersectionality theory, the research analyzes how overlapping systems of oppression manifest in hiring, promotion, and wage practices. Case studies focus on the compounded challenges faced by women of color, such as limited access to leadership roles, wage gaps, and exclusion from informal networks. The findings highlight structural barriers perpetuating inequality, including implicit biases, tokenism, and culturally exclusive corporate cul

Abstract In order to study the clinical impact of T-cell receptor (TCR) diversity in the setting of umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT), we retrospectively analyzed samples from 76 patients in 2 independent study cohorts at separate institutions. At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC), we followed 34 patients with hematological malignancies who underwent myeloablation and primarily double UCBT (2 single cord). This cohort was composed of 11 pediatric and 23 adult patients (median age, 26.5yrs), primarily with acute leukemia (n=26), 50% of whom had evidence of MRD at UCBT. Th

Abstract:
For many public institutions, ‘doing diversity’ exists as a performative act; a dance choreographed through acts of policy espousing a laudable song based on equality. The reality is somewhat different when it comes to implementation, as lofty ambitions give way to impermanent initiatives that are both strategically and tonally off-key. Today, many universities across the UK express their egalitarian aims based on progressive and sometimes decolonising theories of change, but all fail to deliver the pragmatic praxis demanded by their staff, students and collaborative research partners.

Currently, cytogenetics and molecular changes are used to inform treatment strategies. However a wide range of clinical responses are observed in these patient subgroups necessitating alternative methodologies to provide information that could inform clinical decisions for AML disease management.

Abstract The adaptive immune system generates a remarkable breadth of antigen-specific T cell receptors (TCRs) and B cell receptor (BCRs) by combinatoric shuffling of gene segments, enabling the immune system to recognize a diverse and unpredictable set of antigens. To generate this enormous diversity, lymphocytes undergo somatic recombination of noncontiguous variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) region gene segments, which collectively encode the CDR3 region along with non-templated deletion or insertion of nucleotides at the V-D, and D-J junctions. Many of the V, D, and J gene segmen

While the movement for open research has gained momentum in recent years, there remain concerns about the broader commitment to openness in knowledge production and dissemination. Increasingly, universities are under pressure to transform themselves to engage with the wider community and to be more inclusive. Open knowledge institutions (OKIs) provide a framework that encourages universities to act with the principles of openness at their centre; not only should universities embrace digital open access (OA), but also lead actions in cultivating diversity, equity, transparency and positive chan
