I am a news, crime, tech & weather junkie. I am a lover of all things Canadian and particularly Manitoban. Love the Winnipeg Jets! Oh and I paper craft too!
@Paul_L_OBrien I had a neighbor who did the same thing, went looking for her grandchildren in the basement parkade of an apt. block. It's so real to them and it's hard to convince them otherwise.
Canada is pretty fucking awesome,❤️😎 ask any Canadian, we love our country, we are proud and we feel super blessed to be living in the best piece of heaven on earth. 🍁
Retweet; let’s share some appreciation for #canada
@AndrewScheer Winnipeg used to be home to two Oil Refineries, Shell & Imperial Oil. We have the oil but no way to refine it now, bad decisions were made that have left us in the lurch.
🇨🇦: Toronto Pearson airport baggage handler caught retrieving a backpack w/ $1m worth of drugs.
Not the first. Previous arrests show they swap luggage tags so unsuspecting passengers are blamed if caught.
Just something to think about next time you check bags at Pearson.
@Jreatsdung@AntiTrumpCanada I love Minnesota, been to Back to the 50's in St. Paul a few times. I'm from Manitoba and I feel awful about what you folks are going through.
@MasonDrm What????? I had no idea, been making Kraft Pizza since the 1960's. We would turn in our empty plastic milk jugs for money and buy a kit with them. Even my kids love it.
@NightSkyToday Wow, I live in Canada. We visited Denali in 2011. This picture is just amazing, it captures so much of the incredible landscape with those beautiful colors!
A man with diabetes is making his own insulin after cell transplant.
A 42-year-old man with type 1 diabetes has become the first patient in the world to naturally produce insulin again after receiving gene-edited pancreatic cells.
Using CRISPR-Cas12b technology, scientists reprogrammed donor islet cells to evade immune system attacks that normally destroy transplanted tissue in diabetics. This breakthrough eliminates the need for lifelong immunosuppressive drugs, which often carry severe side effects.
The patient received nearly 80 million of these “hypoimmune” cells, which survived and thrived in his body. Four months later, doctors confirmed the cells were producing insulin by detecting C-peptide spikes after meals.
While still in early trials, this marks a potential revolution in diabetes care, showing that the disease could one day be managed without daily insulin injections. If scaled, it could transform the lives of millions living with type 1 diabetes worldwide.
