In a new study, Yuxuan Miao, PhD, and team identifies how tumor-initiating stem cells hijack nearby neutrophils to evade immunotherapy, suggesting that disrupting the defense mechanism may improve long-term outcomes. @YMphoenix @UChicagoMed @UChicagoBSD https://t.co/gh1xaz3ijT

My Dearest Human, I know you’ve been missing me. I see you looking at my bed, my toys, my old leash and that tiny pawprint on your heart that still aches. I wish I could nuzzle your face again, lick away your tears, and tell you I’m still right here. Please don’t cry for me, my

Ah yes, the scientific method famously instructs us to predetermine a conclusion and then do studies to ā€œmake the proof.ā€

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it. Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device. The cruelty is endless.

Imagine believing every scientist, toxicologist, and regulator is lying - but an anonymous Twitter account has the truth. That’s not critical thinking. That’s delusion.

There are major problems with health & the US healthcare system that need attention. But that RFK Jr is Secretary of HHS, overseeing M&M, NIH, CDC and FDA is a profound national embarrassment and threat to the nations health. Truly unbelievable.

BARDA invested in mRNA technology precisely because it could deliver safe, scalable vaccines in record time, a capability proven during COVID. By dismantling that platform, we’re crippling our front-line defense, just ahead of unknown biological threats. https://t.co/ymD0Y55gA0

TFW you learn that a guy who has relentlessly harassed you and your colleagues for years over imaginary and groundless charges of publishing invalid findings has demonstrably published invalid findings. Happy Saturday, Dick! 😘
