Recombination between fragile regions associated with chromosomal rearrangements in glioblastoma can be mediated by RAGs - PubMed The RAGs, comprising RAG1 and RAG2, catalyze V(D)J recombination by recognizing recombination-signal sequences (RSS). Glioblastoma, the aggressive brain cancer, has many oncogenic chromosomal alterations; however, the mechanism of their generation is largely unknown. Here, we report that RAGs are ex …

I’m a physician who has looked at hundreds of studies of vaccine safety, and here’s some of what RFK Jr. gets wrong The health secretary has made many inaccurate statements about vaccines. But the science is clear that vaccines have dramatically reduced childhood illness, disability and death.

Intestinal mucosal immune responses induced by novel oral poliovirus vaccine type 2 and Sabin monovalent oral poliovirus vaccine type 2: an analysis of data from four clinical trials We found no evidence of differences in the intestinal mucosal immune responses induced by nOPV2 or Sabin mOPV2 and observed the strongest responses in infants.

This is good news.

Comparable immune responses (IgA & neutralising antibodies) with new oral polio vaccine compared to Sabin vaccine - hopefully can help interrupt circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus outbreaks.

We are in the midst of what many consider the most promising pancreatic cancer cure research in decades. This is literally joining the War on Cancer on the side of cancer. It's happening in multiple departments. They're also attacking mRNA fax science which is the heart of the possible breakthrough.

This is just horrible.

The FY25 CR obliterates the already small funding allocations for the development of new treatments for patients with pancreatic cancer, lung cancer and glioblastoma.... for what purpose?

These are three of the deadliest types of cancer.

H.H.S. Scraps Studies of Vaccines and Treatments for Future Pandemics (Gift Article) Federal officials cited the end of the Covid-19 pandemic in halting the research. But much of the work was focused on preventing outbreaks of other pathogens.

"Angry, disappointed, frustrated"--Scientists were making progress on vaccines and antivirals for the next pandemic--until this week, when the Trump administration abruptly told them to stop. Here's my story with @apoorvanyt.bsky.social Gift link: nyti.ms/43Xz77q

The US invited Rumesya Ozturk to study at Tufts on a Fulbright, a program that promotes "mutual understanding" between America and the world.

As a Fulbrighter, this video makes me ill. We certainly aren't promoting mutual understanding.

We're promoting the idea that dissent is not welcome here.

“The idea that we don’t need further research to learn how to treat health problems caused by coronaviruses and prevent future pandemics because ‘Covid-19 is over’ is absurd,” said Pamela Bjorkman”

Dynamic STING repression orchestrates immune cell development and function Repression of STING expression in neutrophils and T lymphocytes is required for immune homeostasis and tumor response.

'Neutrophils expressed notably low levels of STING, whereas forced expression led to uncontrolled systemic inflammation. During development in the thymus, Tcells dynamically & epigenetically restricted STING expression through DNMT1–mediated transcriptional silencing'

yelling at clouds for a second- I wish that at some point in the vaccine design project we would take the antigens and do this, especially for virus entry glycoproteins:

there are forbidden words across the sciences

chromosome “orientation” and “segregation”
gene “expression”
mucosal “barrier”
microbial “diversity”

it’s not an accident, or a coincidence IMO

it’s intentionally overbroad and disruptive to thought professionals
