  1. The intricate, clandestine art of Japan’s traditional tattoos

  6. Within tumors in the human body, there are #immune #cells ( #macrophages ) capable of fighting cancer,
    but they have been unable to perform their roles properly due to suppression by the tumor.

    KAIST researchers have overcome this limitation by developing a new therapeutic approach that directly ⚠️converts immune cells inside tumors into anticancer cell therapies.

    KAIST President Kwang Hyung Lee announced on the 30th that a research team led by Professor Ji-Ho Park of the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering has developed a therapy in which,
    when a drug is injected directly into a tumor, macrophages already present in the body absorb it, produce CAR
    (a #cancer-#recognizing device) proteins on their own...
    and are converted into anticancer immune cells known as "#CAR-#macrophages."

    ❌Solid tumors—such as gastric, lung, and liver cancers—grow as dense masses, making it difficult for immune cells to infiltrate tumors or maintain their function.

    As a result, the effectiveness of existing immune cell therapies has been limited.

    ✅ CAR-macrophages,
    which have recently attracted attention as a next-generation immunotherapy,
    have the advantage of directly engulfing cancer cells while simultaneously activating surrounding immune cells to amplify anticancer responses.

    ⛔️However, conventional CAR-macrophage therapies require immune cells to be extracted from a patient's blood, followed by cell culture and genetic modification.

    This process is time-consuming, costly, and has limited feasibility for
    real-world patient applications.

    To address this challenge, the research team focused on "#tumor-#associated #macrophages" that are already accumulated around tumors.

    ⭐️They developed a strategy to directly reprogram immune cells in the body by loading lipid nanoparticles
    —designed to be readily absorbed by macrophages
    —with both mRNA encoding
    cancer-recognition information
    and an immunostimulant that activates immune responses.

    In other words, in this study,
    CAR-macrophages were created by
    👉"directly converting the body's own macrophages into anticancer cell therapies inside the body."

  10. Press Struggles To Explain How The GOP Killed A Popular Broadband Discount Program, Driving Millions Of Poor Americans Off The Internet

    The FCC’s ✅Affordable Connectivity Program✅ ( #ACP ),
    -- part of the 2021 #infrastructure #bill,
    -- provided 23+ million low-income households a 👍$30 broadband discount every month.

    But the roughly 60 million Americans benefiting from the program are now facing much higher broadband bills because
    🆘key Republicans
    — who routinely dole out billions of dollars on far dumber fare 
    — 💥refused to fund a $4-$7 billion extension.

    There were several last ditch efforts to fund the program but ♦️none were successful -- thanks largely to Trump loyalist and current House Speaker #Mike #Johnson,
    ♦️who refused to let any of those funding efforts get close to a vote.

    The GOP killed this popular program.

    Yet in two different stories this week,
    both CNET and the Associated Press
    ❌fail to clearly communicate that to readers.

    ➡️At #CNET, the program simply “ran out of money”:

    "In May, the $14.2 billion program officially ran out of money, leaving Jackson and 23 million households like hers with internet bills that were $30 to $75 higher than the month before."

    ➡️Over at the #Associated #Press, the program vaguely died because “Congress” didn’t fund it:

    "The Affordable Connectivity Program, part of a broader effort pushed by the administration to bring affordable internet to every home and business in the country, was not renewed by Congress and ran out of funding earlier this year."

    🆘The GOP killed this program.
    -- The GOP alone.

    🔸The cuts heavily harm the GOP’s own constituents.

    🔸Nearly half of the folks on the ACP program rolls were military families.

    🔸Countless ACP participants live in Southern states where broadband access is spotty and expensive thanks to the GOP’s own policies.

    🆘 Republicans killed a popular program heavily used by Republicans and only made necessary in the first place due to failed Republican telecom policies.

    🔥They killed it because they didn’t want Democrats and Biden to enjoy credit for a popular program during an election season.

    ⚠️But neither outlet wants to make the GOP’s fault clear to readers lest they somehow offend Republican readers, sources, event sponsors, or advertisers.

    It’s part of a general fecklessness that has expanded across the mainstream ad-based U.S. press,

    and it results in #feckless #coverage where the ❌GOP never has to truly own its broadly unpopular policy decisions

    Feb 2, 2001 - The United States as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services

    Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the #treatment and #prophylaxis of wide variety of #oxidation #associated #diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory autoimmune diseases.
