27 US states legally feed plastic to livestock.
The 'food waste' effort, championed by the nation's largest pork producer @SmithfieldFoods, allows old food and garbage (including packaging) to be ground directly into livestock feed.

An interesting article about the SARS2 spike binding to Estrogen Receptor-α (ERα) and causing severe coagulopathy in Acute Covid and COVID 💉.
This leads to a question about spike ERα binding and cancer. >

These researchers designed a spike protein with point mutations which eliminate the ERα binding, improving AE outcomes in the vaxxed.

@ashkanshahbandi was interested in examining why some BC have residual disease after chemo Rx that persists. These tumors tend to be p53 wild type and tend to undergo cell cycle arrest/senescence rather than cell death #chemotherapy #residualdisease
Looking at immune regulatory pathways he found PD-L1 and CD80 were both highly induced in tumors from chemotherapy treated mice. By RNA, many checkpoints were induced in senescent human BC and mouse mammary tumors after chemo (Fig.1)

🧮Methods: Since experimenting on biomarkers in human participants poses ethical and practical questions, we instead performed a method called Mendelian Randomisation (MR)🧬.
MR uses observational data👀 and an instrumental variable (IV) framework to infer causality.

I've missed out on a lot of events this year due to #breastcancer, which means I've missed opportunities to engage with readers about my new book, #TheFacemaker. So, let me take a moment to tell you more about this book, which took me five years to research and write.👇 /1
From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: Europe’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed.
Never before had the world faced such slaughter. /2
Never before had the world faced such slaughter. /2
Stretcher-bearers could rarely step onto a battlefield without becoming a target. Their mortality rates were extraordinarily high. When Private W. Lugg picked up an injured man, it took him ten hours to travel 400 meters. Wheeled carts were mostly useless on blasted terrain. /3
We are thrilled to share #Starfysh ⭐️ an auxiliary deep generative model for multi-modal analysis and integration of spatial transcriptomic (ST) datasets and histology images, and its application to heterogeneous #breastcancer tumors! 😃 tinyurl.com/hffdhvx7 1/
Incredibly fortunate to have a passionate, collaborative & talented team that didn't slow down with all the challenges of the past few years 🙏: @SiyuHe7 @YinuoJin6, @AchilleNazaret @shi_lingting and a fruitful and ongoing collaboration with @GeorgePlitas and Sasha Rudensky. 2/
Using ST, we wanted to find out if our previously observed continuous phenotypic expansion of intratumoral immune states (doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…) could be explained by the #spatialdynamics of immune cells and exposure to different environmental signals and nutrient supply? 🧐 3/
One of the most laughable things I’ve realized is people hosting Race for the Cure runs for #breastcancer but serving sugar laden donuts & cookies after. If they really want to help w/ cancer they should promote a lifestyle of zero sugar & fasting instead….but that’s not fun.
Another one is #Alzheimer fundraisers, again w/ alcoholic drinks & sugary food at the events, which totally contribute to dementia & poor brain cognition. But people want a photo dump of them “working” for a cause even if their efforts contradict good health. They need a party.
Because it’s not “really” about health, for if it were, they’d do their own research to see the food & drinks they’re serving actually contribute to these diseases. It’s about people being conditioned by Pharma & allopathic medicine & being clueless about how to heal from them.
#WomensHealthcare needs serious attention, specifically patient comfort. There are procedures that the patient is given no anesthesia for that are down right medieval. For example, lets visit something called an endometrial biopsy, a procedure that detects uterine cancer… 1

(La lucha contra el cáncer de mama).
Un día, la naturaleza llevó la lucha por la supervivencia a los senos de la mujer. Atentó contra uno de los símbolos más sagrados que posee el ser humano, y golpeó, con saña, a nuestras madres.

Sin herramientas ni fármacos, otra vez la piedra del conocimiento debió tallarse rudimentariamente por siglos, para equilibrar la balanza. Indefenso, el hombre tuvo que cortar, y echó mano de los vestigios ancestrales de lo que hoy es la cirugía. Cortó, a destajo, cuerpo y alma.
La mastectomía apareció en el siglo II, d.C. siempre seguida del fuego ardiente que cauterizaba los vasos sangrantes; obvio no sería suficiente. 1200 años después empezaron a retirar los ganglios linfáticos axilares, tras entender que tendían a infestarse por el cáncer.
