Abstract:

This study examined the ecology of “free gym” as it occurred in both school lunch hour and after-school community settings. In an effort to understand how urban youth experience sport, an ethnography using multiple methods was conducted to ascertain how urban youth shape their own cultures according to the social forces operating within the gymnasium. A period of sustained observation revealed a student-imposed hierarchy that was dominated by skilled male African American basketball players. Status was gained through what occurred within the free-gym ecology. Students often had to learn the sy

Abstract:

This article describes and analyses the historical development of gym and fitness culture in general and doping use in this context in particular. Theoretically, the paper utilises the concept of subculture and explores how a subcultural response can be used analytically in relation to processes of cultural normalisation as well as marginalisation. The focus is on historical and symbolic negotiations that have occurred over time, between perceived expressions of extreme body cultures and sociocultural transformations in society—with a perspective on fitness doping in public discourse.

The article discusses macho culture in Israeli gyms. It describes male trainees’ efforts to preserve their dominance, facing female trainees’ threat to undermine it.

Two gyms in the metropolis of Tel Aviv were studied by the male researcher for three years, and one suburban gym was studied by the female researcher for a year. Being researchers and trainees from both genders introduced a unique perspective of gender power relations at the gym. The different soci

Abstract:

In this article, I explore manifest and latent discourses about masculinity in a predominantly white, middle class boxing gym. In this gym, the owner and coaches promote a discourse that emphasizes love, bridgework, and sparring with care. This discourse is part of the gym’s white-collar boxing culture. A key part of this discourse is distancing themselves from other gyms, claiming they promote a violent masculinity. While on the surface the gym criticizes certain ideals and practices associated with American hegemonic masculinity, it still reproduces discourses, norms, and practices associate

Drawing on a 3-year ethnography and participant observation study of a ghetto gym in Chicago, this article purports to (a) de-exoticize the subproletarian bodily craft of boxing by uncovering its embedded social logic and meaning, and (b) contribute to a theory of practice that escapes the false antinomies associated with rational choice and normative models of action. The first part explores the peculiar relation of symbiotic opposition that ties the boxing gym to its proximate social matrix of the black ghetto and to the masculine street culture from which it draws its sustenance and shelter

This paper documents how I fought for a place as a boxer in a regional Tasmanian boxing gym over a 30 month period. This work builds on existing ethnographic accounts that argue that, for women, becoming a boxer is more than just a matter of developing a fit body and physical skill – it is a continual project of negotiating gendered identity. Using an analytic autoethnographic methodology and drawing on contemporary theories of masculinity, I share my individual experiences as a boxer and, in turn, reveal the complexities of bodywork and gendered identity within Tasmanian amateur boxing cultur

This article focuses on the atenistas, an Athenian citizens’ group formed in the fall of 2010 at the outset of the Greek debt crisis.

Based on ethnographic consideration of the group’s programmatic statements and interventions in public spaces, I parse key features of their ‘actions’ (draseis) online and off (ephemerality, theatricality, repetitiveness, didacticism, nomadism

Abstract The fitness industry has undergone an explosive growth in recent decades. Some reasons for this are related to the increase in leisure time in the developed world and the importance attached nowadays to having a young-looking fat-free body. This article, based on ethnographic data from Santiago, Chile and Amsterdam, the Netherlands, seeks to add nuanced and complementary explanations to those reasons already mentioned. For example, the importance of moral, personal, social and identity significances that have also contributed to this rise are explained. I complement this with comparat

As urbanisation has come to characterise contemporary societies, large cities have become quite ambivalent places for the human species: they are removing the human body from its perceived natural condition, while increasingly attempting to provide a cure for the ills of a sedentary life. Fitness gyms are presented as the ‘natural' solution to our ‘unnatural' lifestyle as urban dwellers and as a therapeutic fix to the ills of metropolitan living.

In particular the concept of gender manoeuvring will be used to examine the mechanisms of inter- and intra-gender inclusion and exclusion which, within subcultures, pass through a recogn

Abstract Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumour. This tumour is universally fatal with a median survival of 15 months. Driving this pathology is an extremely heterogeneic tumour and complex tumour microenvironment. GBM research is primarily conducted using immortalized or primary cell lines due to their practicality and reproducibility. However, these cell lines do not effectively recapitulate the tumour microenvironment. Mouse models address these shortcomings but are laborious and expensive.

However, their potential for cell therapy has been limited by their relatively small numbers in the peripheral blood and their sensitivity to activation induced cell death (AICD) during ex vivo expansion. Our laboratory developed a method whereby γδ T cells, when stimulated by IFN-γ, IL- 12, and anti-CD2, acquire resistance to AICD and can be expanded in culture with anti-CD3 and IL-2. The γδ T cells expanded by this method are highly cytotoxic to GBM. We have now sought to adapt the

Abstract:

Abstract August Wilson's Century Cycle is as much a theatrical experiment of black cultural history and sociology as it is one of storytelling. Though often considered a realist playwright, Wilson walks beyond the realist landscape into speculative and imagined ones in Gem of the Ocean. His investment in cultural critique and history enhances the possibility of an enriching analysis of his work as speculative fiction. This research project locates the ties between Wilson’s affinity with history and the creation of a dystopian Pittsburgh in the play. In Wilson’s work, set in 1904, the antebellu

Glomerular basement membrane (GBM) assembly and maturation are marked by the replacement of laminin-1 (containing α1-, β1-, and γ1-chains) with laminin-11 (consisting of α5-, β2-, and γ1-chains). Similarly, the α1- and α2-chains of type IV collagen are replaced by collagen α3-, α4-, and α5(IV)-chains. The cellular origins of these molecules and mechanisms for isoform removal and substitution are unknown. To explore glomerular laminin isoform transitions in vitro, we assessed metanephric organ cultures. Standard culture conditions do not support endothelial cell differentiation, and glomerular

Radiation therapy (RT) is the standard treatment for GBM patients after surgery, which has been shown to transiently induce M1 polarization of macrophage (M1Ø). Recent studies suggested that metformin could also promote M1Ø in tumor microenvironment. We thus postulate that metformin may enhan

A major challenge remains the development of a relevant in vitro model system with the necessary capacity and flexibility to profile compounds. The authors have developed and characterized a 3D culture system of brain cells (brain Hi-Spot) where GBM-derived cells can be incorporated (GBM/brain Hi-Spot). Immuno-fluorescence and electrophysiological recordings demonstrate that brain Hi-Spots recapitulate many features of brain tissue. Wi

The well-known cellular heterogeneity of this cancer, which includes glioma tumor-initiating cells with stem cell characteristics (GSCs), (co)influences therapy resistance and tumor recurrence. Bone Morphogenetic Protein-4 (BMP4) promotes differentiation of GSCs towards astroglial lineage while suppressing oligodendrocyte maturation. Treatment with BMP4 is associated with increased survival in mice. BMPs exert effects in cell-type and context dependent fashion, but also generate subtle heterogeneity in transcrip

Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM), like most cancers, undergo metabolic alterations to primarily utilize aerobic glycolysis in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME). Similarly, activated T cells switch to glycolysis upon antigen recognition to cope with proliferation needs but are not equally equipped to survive in the hypoxic TME. Metabolic reprogramming within GBM TME contributes to therapeutic resistance and tumor progression, but the effects of metabolic alterations on therapeutic T cell survival and efficacy have not been fully elucidated. We hypothesized that hypoxia in GBM/T-cell co-cultur
