My review of Bruce Ratner's book "Early Detection", it details the profound impact of #cancer screening tests, like the PAP smear, which almost eliminated mortality from cervical cancer - what if we can do that for more cancers ? linkedin.com/posts/proximity…?

Another major advance vs cancer! @ASCO #ASCO26 Personalized neoantigen mRNA vaccine 5 year follow-up vs metastatic melanoma reduced recurrence and death by 49% (on top of Keytruda) ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO…

Another major cancer treatment advance with a personalized mRNA vaccine for melanoma, on top of immune therapy, >70% survival! This fully mobilizes the immune system to destroy the tumor. In fact, it could potentially be applied to most cancers that have specific mutations!

Standing ovation for @RevolutionBio after presenting their data from #KRAS inhibitor in #pancreatic cancer - the hardest to treat and the toughest target - just wow @DrSamuelBHume congratulations
One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen: a standing ovation for the full Daraxonrasib results I feel inspired and energised, to put it mildly — we have a targeted therapy for pancreatic cancer now, and nothing is undruggable anymore

🧠 SCIENTISTS MAY HAVE FOUND A SURPRISING WAY TO REVERSE MEMORY LOSS What if one tiny element already found in the brain could help fight Alzheimer's disease? Researchers discovered that restoring natural lithium levels in the brain reversed memory loss and improved brain function in experimental studies. The findings suggest that a shortage of lithium may play a role in Alzheimer's, opening a new path for future treatments. It's still early research, but the results are giving scientists fresh hope that memory loss may not always be permanent. Source:

Presented at #ASCO26: Among patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the RAS(ON) inhibitor daraxonrasib led to significantly longer overall survival and progression-free survival than chemotherapy. Full phase 3 RASolute 302 trial results: nej.md/4nWaxvM @ASCO

The story of the “undruggable” #KRAS
🧬 New paper out in @Nature! We used CRISPR to selectively kill cancer cells based on a single-letter mutation in their RNA. The story I want to highlight: KRAS — one of the most notorious drivers of human cancer. A short thread on what we found 🧵

David Sinclair that is very interesting - always thought that there was a link to infectious agent but had not guessed gum bacteria #alzheimer
Would be shocking if bacteria that cause gum disease also contribute to Alzheimer’s. Either way, to reduce overall inflammation, maintain oral heath by: 1. Flossing daily 2. Using an electric toothbrush 3. Seeing a dentist >2x a year 4. Chewing oral probiotics 🦷🧠💪

Uplifting story thank you Chaz for sharing #ovarian #cancer
I am reminded once again that research matters. My wife’s friend was diagnosed with metastatic ovarian cancer, resistant to our favorite drug Cis/Carboplatin. Genetic testing revealed, among other things, KRAS G12A mutation. She was started on a KRAS inhibitor but unfortunately developed massive myopathy to the point she could barely walk. At that point, she needed bilateral nephrostomy tubes for renal blockage and was given weeks to live. But her mutation panel had also revealed modestly elevated tumor mutation burden (TMB) and CHEK2 mutation, which is involved in DNA damage response. Based on this (though the evidence was limited), she was started on immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) as a last-ditch effort. Since then, her tumors have melted away, and our friend is now strong enough to clear the snow during LAST NIGHT's blizzard in Northeast. Below is a photo she just sent us. I share not just because this is a miracle, but a SCIENCE IN ACTION! #SpartansWill #ResearchSavesLives @MSUMD, @MSU_Medicine, @HFH_MSU_HS

Your body has a master clock hidden deep in the brain, and it quietly controls almost everything you feel during the day. This chart shows what that clock is actually doing, and why your sleep, hunger, hormones, energy, and mood follow the same 24-hour rhythm every single day. Here’s the simple breakdown: ⏰ The “master clock” lives in the "SCN" (as its abbreviated) Located in the hypothalamus, it takes in light from your eyes and uses it to reset your entire system. • Light in the morning tells your brain: wake up, raise cortisol, increase alertness. • Darkness at night flips the switch: make melatonin, lower body temperature, prepare for sleep. 🌙 Melatonin rises only when the SCN says it’s dark The pineal gland releases melatonin to start the sleep process. If light hits your eyes at night (phones, TVs, bright LEDs), that signal can shut off or slow down. 😴 Serotonin and melatonin are linked During the day, serotonin helps regulate mood and alertness. At night, the system converts part of that serotonin into melatonin to drive sleep timing. 🧠 Your organs follow the brain’s schedule Every major organ has its own “clock genes,” and they all sync to the SCN. That’s why timing matters: Daytime: • Muscle: glycolytic metabolism and strength performance peak • Liver: glycogen and cholesterol synthesis • Pancreas: insulin secretion • Fat: lipogenesis and adiponectin production Nighttime: • Muscle: oxidative metabolism and repair • Liver: gluconeogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis • Pancreas: glucagon secretion • Fat: lipid breakdown and leptin release (signals satiety) In other words: Your biology isn’t the same at 8 AM as it is at 8 PM. 🍽️ Food and activity act as “secondary clocks” Eating late, irregular sleep, shift work, or inconsistent light exposure can confuse these clocks and throw off hormones, metabolism, and mood. This is why: • Morning light improves sleep • Regular mealtimes stabilize metabolism • Late-night eating increases glucose spikes • Consistent sleep strengthens hormone rhythms • Exercise timing can shift circadian signals Your circadian rhythm isn’t just about sleep. It’s a full-body timing system coordinating hormones, temperature, digestion, metabolism, and repair. Get your light, food, and sleep aligned… And the rest of your biology starts working with you instead of against you. Graphic citation: Unknown Research citation: PMID: 11584554
