🇺🇸🇯🇵 JAPANESE FANS VS KNICKS FANS CELEBRATING

Surely having Japanese fans celebrating leaves a clean city and stadium.

@kranepool it looks strange. I wonder if all these airliners circling over NJ is related.

🚨 SCIENTISTS HAVE BUILT DNA NANOROBOTS THAT CAN SELECTIVELY KILL CANCER CELLS WHILE LEAVING HEALTHY TISSUE ALONE.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet created tiny machines made from folded DNA strands that stay harmless in normal tissue but activate a lethal payload only when they reach the acidic environment around solid tumors.

In mouse studies, these DNA origami nanorobots significantly reduced tumor growth by targeting cancer cells specifically, without the widespread damage caused by conventional chemotherapy.

Why this matters:
• It shows how we can program molecules to act like smart delivery systems that only activate where needed
• DNA origami allows atomic-level precision in designing these structures
• This approach could eventually reduce side effects dramatically compared to traditional treatments

The deeper implication:
We are entering an era where we can engineer biological machines at the molecular scale to perform precise medical tasks. Instead of flooding the body with toxic drugs, future treatments may use programmable nanostructures that only “wake up” inside tumors.

This is still early-stage research (mostly mouse models so far), but it represents a powerful new direction in cancer therapy that combines nanotechnology, DNA engineering, and tumor biology.

What do you think how close do you think we are to seeing DNA-based nanorobots used in actual cancer treatment for humans?

@MarioNawfal Aren't these luxury flights ever experience moderate turbulence? I wonder how it feels laying on the bed🤔

[Nicolas Hulscher, MPH @NicHulscher]

The LARGEST human ivermectin cancer study EVER conducted found 84% of cancer patients declared COMPLETE REMISSION, TUMOR SHRINKAGE, or HALTED TUMOR GROWTH.

Our study is now PEER-REVIEWED and PUBLISHED by the International Institute of Anticancer Research.

The tide is turning.

Worth for record keeping.

They didn't kill the cancer. They told it to go home.

A team of Korean scientists at KAIST just pulled off something that sounds like science fiction.

Instead of nuking colon cancer cells with chemo or radiation, they convinced them to turn back into normal, healthy colon cells.

No killing. No collateral damage. Just a quiet U-turn at the cellular level.

Here's how it works.

Led by Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho at the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering, the team built a "digital twin" of the gene network that controls how a normal cell becomes cancerous.

They ran simulations. They hunted for the exact moment a healthy cell flips into a malignant one.

Then they found the switches.

Three master regulator genes — MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2 — were the keys to the whole transformation.
Flip those switches back, and the cancer cell stops behaving like a cancer cell. It starts looking and acting like a normal enterocyte, the kind of cell that lines a healthy intestine.

No gene editing. No permanent rewiring. Just the body's own natural signals, used in reverse.

The team confirmed it in molecular experiments, cellular experiments, and animal studies. The malignant cells stopped multiplying out of control and went back to doing their actual job.

The research has already been handed off to a company called BioRevert Inc. to develop into real-world treatments.

This isn't a cure tomorrow. But it rewrites the entire playbook for how we think about cancer.

You don't always have to destroy the enemy.

Sometimes you just have to remind it who it used to be.

@mattshitsdaily @Mericamemed True, I guess. Eggs should not go bad overnight. I still remember times when only a few people had a fridge in their house. Their eggs mostly came from their own hens, though, so there were no lengthy storage times during transportation or at the store.

In South Korea, they sell "one a day" bananas; the idea is that you always have a banana ready to eat each day, without them all spoiling at the same time.

I came across this article about amazing Jennifer Lopez morning video without make up and noticed that the author completely missed the point. He want on and on how young smooth and glowing JLo's skin is, which is true, but I think the main message in that short video is that we all create our every day life. Successes and failures, our future and destiny including JLo's beautiful look that so many adore and envy.
Watch below and let me know what you think:

Another for the books. Let's see if wireless charging with power required to be significant for a ev car is even possible?

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇺🇸 Florida is putting wireless EV chargers inside the highway itself.

Drive over it, get charged, no more anxiety issues.

If this scales nationally, the last real argument against EVs just disappears.

For the record keeping. Yes its amazing but I've heard about such break-throughs many times in the past just to never hear about it ever again. 🤞

A tiny bee just did what chemotherapy couldn't.

Scientists in Australia discovered that honeybee venom can wipe out 100% of aggressive breast cancer cells in under 60 minutes.
And the healthy cells around them? Barely touched.

The breakthrough came from Dr. Ciara Duffy and her team at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, working alongside the University of Western Australia.
They tested venom drawn from 312 honeybees and bumblebees across Australia, Ireland, and England.

The target: triple-negative breast cancer and HER2-enriched breast cancer. Two of the deadliest, most stubborn forms of the disease.
The weapon: melittin. The same tiny peptide that makes a bee sting burn.

At one specific dose, melittin tore through cancer cell membranes completely within an hour. Within just 20 minutes, it shut down the chemical signals cancer cells need to grow and multiply.
Bumblebee venom, which lacks melittin, did nothing. Zero effect, even at high concentrations.

Scientists then recreated melittin synthetically in the lab and got almost identical results, meaning no bees need to be harmed to develop the therapy.

Published in the peer-reviewed journal npj Precision Oncology, the findings are still early-stage. Human trials haven't happened yet.

But one thing is clear. Nature has been hiding answers in plain sight all along, sometimes inside the smallest creatures on Earth.

BYD just unveiled a new SUV in China that uses a fully active hydraulic suspension system.

The system is able to individually lift a corner so you can change a tire without any jack.

As long the reliability is near 100% Im on board.

So, how big is a microreactor?

Our MARVEL reactor will be roughly the size of an average sedan and produce enough energy to power 10 U.S. homes.
