We're learning how to control our immune system and cure some patients with autoimmune diseases, like lupus and multiple sclerosis. After CAR T (vs protein on B cell surface, CD19 or CD20) the new B cells are rebooted, no longer self attack

It was a gladdening and moving experience for me to witness a performance of the South African Girmitiya song ‘Ganga Maiya’ in Johannesburg. Another special part of this performance was the rendition in Tamil! This song carries with it hope and unbroken spirit of those who came here many years ago. They faced numerous hardships on the way but that did not deter them. They kept India alive in their hearts through songs and prayers. Thus, it is commendable to see this cultural connect kept alive.

A new study estimates the radiation from CT scans could eventually account for 5% of all new cancers

This would even be similar to rates from alcohol (5.4%) or excess weight (7.6%)

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

Antidepressants can affect the normal or proper functioning of the body's organs. However, the degree to which these physiological effects occur in treatment with various antidepressants is unclear.

On the cover, a new study compared and ranked antidepressants based on physiological side-effects.

89% of organ transplant recipients report personality changes following their procedure.

Perhaps cognition is not just localized to the brain.

Al Pacino on Diane Keaton at the AFI Life Achievement Award in 2017: "You’re an artist, Di. And I love you, forever".

The two actors met while filming Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘The Godfather’ in 1973, and later had an off-screen relationship.
