Abnormalities of T cell signaling in systemic lupus erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease resulting from a loss of tolerance to multiple self antigens, and characterized by autoantibody production and inflammatory cell infiltration in target organs, such as the kidneys and brain. T cells are critical players in SLE pathophysiology as they regulate B cell responses and also infiltrate target tissues, leading to tissue damage. Abnormal signaling events link to defective gene transcription and altered cytokine production, contributing to the aberrant phenotype of T cells in SLE. Study of signaling and gene transcription abnormalities in SLE T cells has led to the identification of novel targets for therapy

Sociohistorical Context and Revolt in the Beat Generation

El objetivo de este ensayo es analizar cómo la rebeldía de la generación «beat» fue resultado de su oposición a la vacuidad moral de la explosión económica de Estados Unidos en los años cincuenta del siglo XX que contrastaba con otros factores de incidencia social como el gran temor al comunismo, la guerra fría y los problemas de las minorías étnicas. Dicha rebeldía implicó la potenciación de la individualidad y el uso de un lenguaje espontáneo y coloquial que trasladase sus vivencias de manera directa e intensa. De este modo, su escritura e incluso su propio estilo de vida propugnaron una utopía verdaderamente transcendentalista: la unidad de todo y de todos.This essay analyzes the Beat Generation’s revolt against the moral vacuity derived from the affluent economy of the United States during the 1950s, disclosing other nightmarish social occurrences such as the Great Fear, the Cold War and racial issues.

Likewise, their writing and lifestyle argued for the old Transcendentalist utopia: the unity of everyone and everything
