"Metastatic cancers (those that have spread beyond the organ where they originated) account for around 67–90% of cancer deaths2,3, and are almost always treated systemically, meaning with drugs that enter the bloodstream. To improve treatments for people with metastatic cancer, the community urgently needs to shift from using organ-based classifications of cancer to using molecular-based ones. This will require radical changes in how medical oncology is structured, conducted and taught."
"When an immune cell encounters an Xist molecule, it also finds a huge number of proteins stuck to it. This unusual experience may confuse immune cells, which then mistakenly start making antibodies to the Xist proteins."

“...there is this otherworld, a world of infinite biological pathways that connect #trees & allow them to communicate, & allow the forest to behave as if it is a single organism. It might remind you of a sort of intelligence.”

'The American Association of Immunologists (AAI), in order to promote excellence in science education at the secondary school level, is sponsoring a summer research program created specifically for high school teachers: the AAI High School Teachers Summer Research Program in Immunology.'
"With the rise of year-end reading goals on sites like Goodreads, even those of us who actually like to read can get caught up in the commodification of reading, where productivity must increase year over year. Optimization and efficiency leave very little room for meandering walks with great big books that require deep thought and engagement. And I don’t know about you but that’s what I love about literature the most."

"So the Republicans are not 'incompetent.' They know what they want, and they know how to get it, no matter how destructive it may be to everyone, including to themselves. Linking Ukraine to the border bill wasn’t a 'strange idea.' It was actually quite rational for an insurgency that’s bent on sabotaging the United States from the inside out. They are not just a pro-Russia faction. They are pro-white confederacy."
