CAR T cell therapy was originally designed to target and wipe out cancer by reprogramming a patient’s immune cells.

Now, researchers are testing this "game changer" treatment on patients with autoimmune diseases like lupus, Graves', and multiple sclerosis. #KnowableMagazine #ScienceMastodon

"The tapestry of life ... means that all living beings are interwoven into a tapestry in which we share evolutionary, ecological and symbolic connections. It sounds poetic, but it’s actually based on the latest scientific evidence. We share genes with other organisms because we all descend from a single primordial organism. There is no biological discontinuity." #ScienceMastodon #KnowableMagazine

Among the discoveries is a slab of crust that runs from Maine to Georgia and may have formed via volcanic eruptions some 200 million years ago when the supercontinent Pangea broke up.

Hype, danger or effective therapy? The use of psychedelic substances such as psilocybin, ketamine and LSD to treat mental disorders is controversial. What matters above all is that these therapies are targeted effectively. Researchers from #CharitéBerlin have researched for the first time who these therapies can help – and who they might harm.

See the results 👇

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers. By 2030, it’s expected to kill more people in the United States than any cancer except for lung cancer.

One of the reasons why I love being a microscopist working in #immunology 💜🔬🎨 This beauty is a #microscopy image of human gingival tissue from a periodontitis patient we stained using our multiplex technique. One of those shots was chosen for the new #bmbf exhibition traveling through Germany, Austria and Poland via the MS Wissenschaft - a floating science center. Opening is tomorrow - Check it out!

🎉 @YangfanPeng erhält eine Emmy Noether-Förderung zum Aufbau einer Arbeitsgruppe für die Erforschung neuronaler Netzwerke. Der Neurowissenschaftler an der #CharitéBerlin will herausfinden, wie Nervenzellen in lokalen Netzwerken miteinander kommunizieren, um unser Verständnis von Bewegungssteuerung zu vertiefen. 🧠 Gratulation und viel Erfolg!

🧠 Changes in neural connections due to substance use and withdrawal are long-lasting, and craving can peak well into abstinence. Understanding this process could inspire drugs to support recovery.

🍜 When it comes to comfort food, the psychological connection may matter more than the food itself.

Recent research suggests that while the mood-boosting effects of comfort food are genuine, it may not be only the act of eating that provides them. Just thinking about your culinary source of comfort could evoke similarly warm, nostalgic feelings.

On FTL and causality: add new time. Light vortices look a lot like a light cone on a time-space diagram to me.

Do photons have spin...? Long Covid sucks.

While we all live in a money-obsessed hellscape, nothing needs "utility" to be worth testing or knowing.

But yeah, I am confused about the polaritons. 
(Polaritrons? I'm not hearing stuff / processing audio precisely, lately. ) Light has a shape? Or, like, a shape in time? Cuz that -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 image looks a lot like a light cone on a time-space diagram. To me, at least. The things with the light at diagonal lines in space.

Wait. Spin? Do photons have spin? I'm gonna get a used copy of my uni textbook off someone and try to remember anything. Yaaay Long Covid! (Twice, Doubled, or Squared! Per your preference.)

On how faster-than-light info would affect (our understanding of) causality: "And then nothing makes sense anymore." Since when has science stopped testing things that seemed "unintuitive" on the first pass? 
Wouldn't that just sort itself out, and then we'd make new inferences to test? Cuz it sounds like an additional dimension of time would be useful here. Which... is probably a meme. "Just add a new dimension!" Ok yeah, but what if we did tho. (Eddie Woo intensifies.)
