Une équipe de chercheurs de l’hôpital mémorial Chang Gung à Taïwan a réalisé une avancée majeure en immunothérapie contre le cancer : leur étude, publiée dans la revue Nature Metabolism, révèle qu’une simple manipulation du métabolisme des cellules immunitaires pourrait renforcer de manière significative leur capacité à combattre les tumeurs. Le médecin Yang Huang-yu (楊皇煜), directeur du département de recherche médicale de l’hôpital mémorial Chang Gung de Linkou, à la tête de l’équipe, a détaillé le point central des recherches prometteuses : « Après avoir mené toute une série d’études et de recherches, nous avons découvert que si nous retirons l’acide aminé appelé « asparagine » des cellules immunitaires, alors nous observons l’activation des cellules tueuses, c’est-à-dire les lymphocytes T. Ce renforcement des cellules tueuses aident le métabolisme à éliminer les cellules cancéreuses. En réalité, les cellules tumorales sont très redoutables : elles cherchent à modifier leur environnement pour le rendre immunosuppresseur, empêchant ainsi les cellules immunitaires de les attaquer. Mais en limitant et spécifiant notre analyse des protéines à l’aspargine et en retirant cet acide aminé spécifique des cellules immunitaires, nous avons observé ce lien de cause à effet rendant les cellules T plus fortes. » Forts de ces résultats, les chercheurs ont testé cette approche sur six patients atteints d'un cancer avancé du nasopharynx, une forme de cancer connue pour sa résistance aux traitements classiques. C’est d’ailleurs la première fois qu’une stratégie de remodelage métabolique améliore clairement la fonction des cellules immunitaires dans le cadre d’une expérience clinique. Le professeur Yang Huang-yu estime que cette nouvelle percée ouvrira de nouvelles voies pour la recherche future en matière d’immunothérapie du cancer.

Berkeley, California based author Yang Huang shares tales of growing up in China, post cultural revolution. And how, on the heels of the Tiananmen Square protests, she was empowered to write in hopes of propelling a more tolerant and hopeful world through her stories.

Elizabeth Gaskell had only written one novel when Charles Dickens started publishing her work in his journal Household Words. But soon she would become famous as the author of Cranford and North and South, two of the best novels of the Victorian era. Dickens proved to be a generous and artist-friendly editor, offering suggestions but allowing Gaskell to have the final say over her work (with one exception). In this episode, Jacke looks at the ghost story that Dickens asked Gaskell to write, along with the alternative ending that Dickens first suggested and then wrote for her consideration.

The recent rise in documented anti-Asian violence—which saw grandmothers being punched on the streets, and a major shooting in Atlanta—has raised questions about the current status of Asian American identity and safety in the U.S.   How does “Asian” fit into the American racial taxonomy, which has for so long relied on a dichotomy of Black and white?   Helping us to sort out these questions and set the record straight are very special guests:·         Nobuko Miyamoto, actor, activist, singer and third-generation Japanese American whose work has blended art and activism since the 1960s. She's also the founder of Great Leap, a performing arts organization that promotes Asian American artistic works. She recently published a memoir, titled Not Yo' Butterfly: My Long Song of Relocation, Race, Love, and Revolution. ·         Dr. Claire Kim, professor of political science and Asian American studies at the University of California, Irvine. She has written two books—Bitter Fruit: The Politics of Black-Korean Conflict and Dangerous Crossings: Race, Species, and Nature in a Multicultural Age—and is currently working on a third book, Asian Americans in an Anti-Black World.  ·         Yang Huang, award-winning novelist and short story writer. She grew up in China's Jiangsu province and participated in the 1989 student uprisings before coming to the U.S. to study computer science. She's written two novels—My Good Son and Living Treasures—and a collection of linked short stories, My Old Faithful. Rate and review “On the Issues with Michele Goodwin" to let us know what you think of the show!

In today's podcast, we interview author Yang Huang about her new book looking at the intersection of China, the US, and the politics of family and gender. The book is titled My Good Son, and it is her third work of fiction. The book's plot revolves around two father-son pairs, one Chinese, one American. In the Chinese pair, the son does not meet the father's academic standards, while in the American pair, the father is religious while the son is gay. Join us for a fascinating talk with one of the people who actually does the hard work of making literature.

My guest is Yang Huang. Her debut novel Living Treasures (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0989596052/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0989596052&linkCode=as2&tag=yanghuang-20&linkId=6GI272MM2NPTA2H6) won the Nautilus Book Award silver medal in fiction. Her newest book is My Old Faithful. (https://www.amazon.com/My-Old-Faithful-Stories-Juniper/dp/1625343361/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8) Evoking both the drama of familial intimacy and the ups and downs of the everyday, My Old Faithful (https://www.amazon.com/My-Old-Faithful-Stories-Juniper/dp/1625343361/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8) introduces readers to a close-knit Chinese family. These ten interconnected short stories, which take place in China and the United States over a thirty-year period, merge to paint a nuanced portrait of family life, full of pain, surprises, and subtle acts of courage. Richly textured narratives from the mother, the father, the son, and the daughters play out against the backdrop of China's social and economic change. With quiet humor and sharp insight into the ordinary, Yang Huang writes of a father who spanks his son out of love, a brother who betrays his sister, and a young woman who dares bring a brown man home to her conservative parents. She writes of an aging wife and the kindness she shows a young prostitute caught soliciting her husband; of a woman returning to China after many years to find her country changed in ways both expected and startling. This collection, by a writer who grew up in Jiangsu province and participated in the 1989 student uprisings, is remarkable in its sense of place and fidelity to lived human experience. Yang Huang grew up in China and came to the U.S. to study computer science. While working as an engineer, she attended Boston College and earned an MFA from the University of Arizona. Her collection of linked family stories, My Old Faithful, won the Juniper Prize for Fiction. Her debut novel Living Treasures won the Nautilus Book Award silver medal in fiction. Her essays, stories, and screenplay have appeared in Poets & Writers, Literary Hub, The Margins, Eleven Eleven, Asian Pacific American Journal, The Evansville Review, Stories for Film, and others. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and works for the University of California at Berkeley.
