With the Seattle Seahawks closing the chapter of the Pete Carroll era and opening a new chapter under Mike Macdonald, it's a great time to look back on the complete history of the Seahawks' head coaches.

Subhash Tripathi, PhD, on Developing Safe, Specific Engineered Treg Cell Therapy
The senior researcher at Seattle Children’s discussed advantages of engineered Tregs compared with natural Tregs. “There are disadvantages associated with current adaptive cell therapies, which are based on natural regulatory T-cells. To cite some of those key technical hurdles, there is a huge rarity of these populations in vivo. So if you get them, you have to scale up for manufacturing, which is very difficult, and then they are very unstable and have plasticity. They have a very poor engraftment in vivo. And sometimes, if you get these cells from patients, they might be defective.”

PHOTO ESSAY | Seattle Pride Parade Celebrates 50 Years of Growth and Activism
Over the past 50 years, Seattle Pride has been expanding, both in attendees and participants. This year, over 300,000 people were expected to attend the parade and festivities at Seattle Center. The parade route was less than a mile, but the thousands of participants meant the parade would take five hours to make it to the end. Led by the Dykes on Bikes, the throaty roar of motorcycles echoed off of downtown buildings as residents stood on balconies or looked out windows as the parade passed them by. The length of the route meant some areas near the stages were packed 15–20 people deep.
