Cancer cells spread aggressively in the body, using cholesterol as building material.
Sildenafil blocks access to stored cholesterol. Cancer cells then adapt and try to manufacture new source of cholesterol and statins block that too.
Sildenafil was used for this study but the mechanism applies to taladafil as well.
Study was preclinical (lab dishes and mice). Human data is observational.
The ships that won Greek independence in 1821 were crewed and partly commanded — by Albanian-speakers. On Hydra and Spetses, the islands’ Arvanite elite even wrote to each other in Albanian to keep their letters secret from their own side. So much so that one of them served as wartime president.
A major mistake Albania didn’t do was expel the Rhomioi elements in southern Albania in 1944, as retaliation for the Greek cleansing of Cham Albanians.
A tit-for-tat sort of situation. But because communists were cucks, they kept them in Albania.
clusIBD Run of Modern Gheg, Tosk and Tirana Albanians against a plethora of Ancient samples, mainly Paleobalkaners of the Iron Age.
The method is mostly based on Li et al. 2025 (https://t.co/l4ZfpzGVkn) which makes computing IBD data easier without the need of imputation or having to scramble for the original BAMs. Unlike ancIBD it computes IBD in Megabases (Mb) which then have to be converted into cM manually, which can be done using each results chromosome #, start and end pair to yield the amount of total cM's.
This is mainly inspired by the 2026 Nature article on the Ancient origin of Albanians, by @LeonidasDav. Results are very similar to the paper with the only difference being the inclusion of 2 outliers from Iron Age Etruria and Latium with clear Balkan origin.

On January 17, 1982, Jusuf Gërvalla, Bardhosh Gërvalla, and Kadri Zeka were gunned down outside a political meeting in Germany. The assassinations are widely attributed to the Yugoslav Secret Service.
The regime hoped to silence the movement. Instead, their deaths helped galvanize the Albanian diaspora and strengthen the cause of Kosovo’s independence.
