Immune checkpoints are molecules that signal and control the synapse between T cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs). Checkpoint inhibitor therapies aim to target and inhibit the signals that ‘switch off’ T cells, leading to upregulation of T cell activation and tumor cell killing.
The mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) mimics the T cell and APC synapse by co-culturing immune cells from two individuals. Consequently, MLR is used as a model, to discover the effects of checkpoint inhibitor drugs in vitro, furthering biological research applications and drug discovery processes.

New coalition wants a quarter-million low-income families to go solar by 2030 and $125 million annually in state funding to achieve those goals.
Low-income families who suffer with energy insecurity benefit the most from lower monthly electric bills, local jobs and a more resilient community.
Landmark legislation that will help reduce the energy burden of low-income households using solar and energy efficiency is right now awaiting action at the Assembly Telecommunications and Utilities Committee. Low-income households include our elderly, our veterans, our disabled and our single-parent homes.
The Clean Energy Equity Act (S-2484/A-4185), sponsored by Sen. Troy Singleton (D-Burlington), ensures that New Jersey’s overburdened communities benefit from clean-energy access, energy savings and job opportunities. This bill reinforces Gov. Phil Murphy’s commitment to New Jersey achieving 100% clean energy by 2050, an ambitious target that makes our state
ATLANTA – Six years ago, the General Assembly passed legislation allowing Georgia property owners to use third-party financing to install rooftop solar panels at their homes and businesses.
Now, representatives of solar installers and their environmentalist allies are warning the momentum the industry has built since 2015 could grind to a halt unless the state Public Service Commission (PSC) orders Georgia Power to lift a cap on a pilot rooftop solar program limited to 5,000 customers. The program is about to hit that cap because of an unexpected surge of interest.
“It’s a very popular program,” Don Moreland, policy chairman for the Georgia Solar Energy Association and owner-operator of Solar CrowdSource, told the PSC during a recent hearing. “[But] once we hit this cap … it is going to cause the rooftop market to completely crash.”

Seattle transportation agency seeks steep increase in hourly parking rate for large events UP NEXT
A Seattle City Council committee voted unanimously Wednesday to approve a steep increase in the hourly rate paid for metered parking during large scale events.
The Transportation and Utilities Committee passed the legislation via a 5-0 vote, meaning the full council will now consider the proposal.
If council members endorse the idea during its next meeting, which is likely given that five members of the committee have already approved it, motorists looking for public parking could see the rate jump to as much as $12 per hour during events where 10,000 people are more are present. That would include things like games for the Seattle Kraken or the Seahawks.
