This phrase has not left my brain or my spirit. When April said these words, I felt something shift deep within me. What would it look and feel like to do work that is slow, deep, and irreversible? This type of work directly goes against the demands and nature of white supremacy.
We work hard every day to build an equitable world, but it feels like for every one step forward, we have to take three steps back. This kind of labor is insidious and endless because we let it go unchecked. Then, the work of creating concrete, material change becomes demoralizing and exhausting. We become numb, desensitized, and stop challenging the status quo. We ignore our physical, emotional, spiritual, and social needs. Simply put, we lose our humanity.

Prognosis of multiple sclerosis is highly variable. Clinical variables have been identified that are assessable early in the disease and are predictors of the time from the disease onset to the onset of irreversible disability. Our objective was to determine if these clinical variables still have an effect after the first stages of disability have been reached. We determined the dates of disease onset and assignment of scores of irreversible disability in 1844 patients with multiple sclerosis. We used three scores on the Kurtzke Disability Status Scale as benchmarks of disability accumulation: 4 (limited walking but without aid); 6 (walking with unilateral aid); and 7 (wheelchair bound). We used Kaplan-Meier analyses and Cox regression models to determine the influence of the clinical variables on the time to disability onset. Median times from onset of multiple sclerosis to assignment of a score of 4, 6 and 7 were significantly influenced by gender, age, symptoms and course (relapsing-remitting or progressive) at onset of the disease, degree of recovery from the first relapse, time to a second neurological episode, and the number of relapses in the first 5 years of the disease. Similarly, times from onset of multiple sclerosis to a score of 6 and 7 were influenced by time to a score of 4. In contrast, none of the variables substantially affected the time from a score of 4 to a score of 6 or 7, or from a score of 6 to a score of 7. Early assessable clinical variables significantly influence the time from the onset of multiple sclerosis to the assignment of a disability score of 4, but not the subsequent progression of irreversible disability.
Given its critical role in T-cell signaling, interleukin-2-inducible kinase (ITK) is an appealing therapeutic target that can contribute to the pathogenesis of certain infectious, autoimmune, and neoplastic diseases. Ablation of ITK subverts Th2 immunity, thereby potentiating Th1-based immune responses. While small-molecule ITK inhibitors have been identified, none have demonstrated clinical utility. Ibrutinib is a confirmed irreversible inhibitor of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) with outstanding clinical activity and tolerability in B-cell malignancies. Significant homology between BTK and ITK alongside in silico docking studies support ibrutinib as an immunomodulatory inhibitor of both ITK and BTK. Our comprehensive molecular and phenotypic analysis confirms ITK as an irreversible T-cell target of ibrutinib. Using ibrutinib clinical trial samples along with well-characterized neoplastic (chronic lymphocytic leukemia), parasitic infection (Leishmania major), and infectious disease (Listeria monocytogenes) models, we establish ibrutinib as a clinically relevant and physiologically potent ITK inhibitor with broad therapeutic utility. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01105247 and #NCT01217749.
This study introduces a new method for minimally invasive treatment of cancer-the ablation of undesirable tissue through the use of irreversible electroporation. Electroporation is the permeabilization of the cell membrane due to an applied electric field. As a function of the field amplitude and duration, the permeabilization can be reversible or irreversible. Over the last decade, reversible electroporation has been intensively pursued as a very promising technique for the treatment of cancer. It is used in combination with cytotoxic drugs, such as bleomycin, in a technique known as electrochemotherapy. However, irreversible electroporation was completely ignored in cancer therapy. We show through mathematical analysis that irreversible electroporation can ablate substantial volumes of tissue, comparable to those achieved with other ablation techniques, without causing any detrimental thermal effects and without the need of adjuvant drugs. This study suggests that irreversible electroporation may become an important and innovative tool in the armamentarium of surgeons treating cancer.
Objectives: Ablative therapies have been increasingly utilized in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is an energy delivery system, effective in ablating tumors by inducing irreversible membrane destruction of cells. We aimed to demonstrate efficacy of treatment with IRE as part of multimodal treatment of LAPC.
Methods: From July 2010 to October 2014, patients with radiographic stage III LAPC were treated with IRE and monitored under a multicenter, prospective institutional review board-approved registry. Perioperative 90-day outcomes, local failure, and overall survival were recorded.
Conclusions: For patients with LAPC (stage III), the addition of IRE to conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy results in substantially prolonged survival compared with historical controls. These results suggest that ablative control of the primary tumor may prolong survival.

The probability of a given succession of (nonequilibrium) states of a spontaneously fluctuating thermodynamic system is calculated, on the assumption that the macroscopic variables defining a state are Gaussian random variables whose average behavior is given by the laws governing irreversible processes.
This probability can be expressed in terms of the dissipation function; the resulting relation, which is an extension of Boltzmann's principle, shows the statistical significance of the dissipation function. From the form of the relation, the principle of least dissipation of energy becomes evident by inspection.
Seminal observations by Hayflick and Moorhead first described the limited proliferative lifespan normal cells exhibit in culture (Hayflick and Moorhead, 1961), subsequently, mechanistically underscored by the demonstration that progressive shortening and critical erosion of telomeres result in a terminal growth arrest (Bodnar et al., 1998; Yu et al., 1990). This condition, also known as replicative senescence (RS), has been considered irreversible if not blocked by ectopic overexpression of the telomerase reverse transcriptase protein TERT (Bodnar et al., 1998). Importantly, senescent cells accumulate with age in vivo (Herbig et al., 2006), indicating that their occurrence represents a potential link between cellular and organismic aging and is not merely a cell culture-related phenomenon.
In essence, despite the widespread perception of cellular senescence as an endpoint response to a variety of triggers, the notion of its irreversible nature is poorly substantiated. Especially the irrevocable growth arrest, although widely referred to in original research publications and review articles on premature types of senescence, builds on the analogy to RS rather than robust evidence for a long-lasting cell-cycle block. Notably, the definitive judgment of a condition as irreversible is beyond experimental proof, rendering it, to some extent, a semantic or a philosophic problem.
Carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE)-based membrane labeling (to recognize proliferating cells by half of their fluorescence intensity after every division) (Milanovic et al., 2018).
Senescence escape was first demonstrated as the result of acute loss of all Rb isoforms or activation of a dominant-negative p53 moiety in settings of manifest senescence (Beausjour et al., 2003; Sage et al., 2003). Utilization of senescence-controlling genes, especially as regulatable versions thereof (e.g., p53, Suv39h1, CDK4, JMJD2C, H3R9, or Myc [Box 2; and Fig. 1, A and B]) (Hydbring et al., 2010; Milanovic et al., 2018; Rane et al., 2002; Ruggero et al., 2004; Yu et al., 2018), provided increasing support for the hypothesis that fully senescent cells may indeed get back into cycle upon activation of senescence-disabling moieties or critically reduced expression of essential senescence maintenance genes. Conversely, cells that would normally senesce in response to oncogenic Ras or Braf exhibited senescence bypass if they were a priori depleted of senescence-essential loci such as p53 or INK4a/ARF (Serrano et al., 1997) or presented with overexpression of the H3K9 demethylase JMJD2C at the outset (Yu et al., 2018). Importantly, a fusion protein of JMJD2C and a 4-OH-tamoxifen (4-OHT)-inducible estrogen receptor (JMJD2C:ERTAM) (Littlewood et al., 1995) was able to drive senescence escape upon 4-OHT administration in full-featured OIS (Yu et al., 2018). Likewise, inducing loss of Suv39h1 or p53 expression by 4-OHT deprivation in cells engineered to produce the corresponding ERTAM fusion proteins on a suv39h1-deficient or p53-null background also permitted cell-cycle reentry from senescence (Milanovic et al., 2018). Beyond enforcing senescence escape by interference with defined components of its maintenance machinery, we also tracked spontaneous DNA reduplication as an early indicator of resumed proliferation in cell models that had robustly entered senescence. Following a fluorescence-based vital SA-β-gal stain first, the transient codetection of a secondary fluorescent signal that labeled ongoing DNA synthesis was used as a unique marker tandem to catch the pivotal moment in individual senescent cells when they spontaneously exited their terminal arrest condition (Milanovic et al., 2018).
