Yeah, Trump is making a mockery of the White House. Biden Christmas 👇

Ok wealth tax fans Elon Musk paid $11bn tax in 2021 Why wasn’t homelessness & world hunger solved?

Dear President Trump, please let the Kennedy Center rot. Thank you.

Genetically modified worms can now produce and deliver drugs inside a living body, scientists say | Victoria Atkinson, Live Science In a proof-of-concept lab experiment, scientists demonstrated that intestinal parasites could make and release therapeutic agents inside a living host. Scientists genetically tweaked a tiny, worm-like parasite to produce a life-saving antitoxin from inside a living host. In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers modified the hookworm Ancylostoma ceylanicum so that it produces antibodies that partially neutralize the potent pufferfish poison tetrodotoxin. The approach has so far been tested in hamsters, but the ultimate aim is to use it in people. In fact, the study was funded by the U.S. Department of Defense with a view to developing protective treatments for military personnel exposed to chemical or biological threats, such as tetrodotoxin, study co-author Alex Loukas, director of the Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine at James Cook University, told Live Science. That said, future work could see these worms engineered to produce a variety of other medications and excrete them inside the human body, the study authors wrote in a report published June 3 in Nature Communications. For instance, they could deliver long-term treatments for chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes or inflammatory bowel syndrome, Loukas suggested. From parasite to antitoxin factory Hookworms are one of humanity's oldest parasites and infect upwards of 400 million people globally, primarily in tropical regions. Like an internal leech, these small intestinal worms latch on to the inner wall of the gut to feed on blood, simultaneously releasing a variety of anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant compounds to prevent the body from flushing them out. Each worm is about 0.4 inches (1 centimeter) long and consumes less than two drops of blood a day, and healthy hosts often don't experience any symptoms of infection. The hookworm used in this study, A. ceylanicum, infects humans, dogs and cats. "The hookworm has spent millions of years perfecting how to assure long-term survival inside a human host and how to get molecules out of its body and into ours," study co-author Makedonka Mitreva, professor at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, said in a statement. The cocktail of compounds produced by these parasites has already shown some promise in treating metabolic disorders such as metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, as well as celiac disease. However, studies so far have been restricted to molecules produced by the hookworms naturally. The new work pushes this concept one step further. "We asked: What if we could add one more molecule to the roughly 1,000 things the worm already secretes, something therapeutically useful to people?" Mitreva said. "This study shows that's not just a concept. It works." Using CRISPR gene-editing technology, the team inserted a gene coding for an antibody known to counteract the deadly pufferfish poison tetrodotoxin into the hookworm's genome at the egg stage. Mitreva's team had to carefully consider the placement of the gene, ensuring it didn't interfere with other critical regions of DNA, yet still promoted production and secretion of the new protein. The team then infected hamsters with 80 to 100 of the modified parasite larvae. Upon maturation, the adult worms containing the newly inserted gene were able to produce the antibody and then secreted it into the hamster's bloodstream. Blood samples later taken from the infected hamsters partially neutralized the tetrodotoxin poison in lab experiments, showing compounds produced by the worm were active in the hamster. On paper, the same approach could be used to secrete other antibodies or peptide drugs — which are short bits of protein — to directly treat gastrointestinal disorders, Loukas said. "We're thinking about actively introducing antibodies that neutralize inflammatory hormones or cytokines," to treat conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, he said. "You can also think about the possibility of a worm that secretes very very small quantities of food allergens to desensitize the host for childhood food allergies,” he added. Looking forward, the team wants to extend the durability of the therapeutic molecules the worms release, since they can only make so much at a time, he noted. While it may sound counterintuitive to infect a person with a parasite to help them feel better, hookworms actually have an excellent safety profile, Loukas said. A quirk of their biology means there is no chance of the infection getting out of control. Hookworm larvae enter the body through the skin and migrate to the small intestine where they mature into adults, often living for years without noticeably impacting the host. Any eggs the adult parasites produce must hatch outside of the host; they exit in the host's stool. That means the number of adult worms in the body remains fairly constant. What's more, with a single dose of a standard anti-worming treatment, the infection clears within 24 hours. So any hookworm-based treatments could be easily cleared from a person's system. "It's exciting and it's really opening up an entirely new way of delivering and producing therapeutic molecules," Loukas said. Read more: livescience.com/health/medic…

I thought AI was going to wipe out all our jobs? So far it’s only been Hollywood, h1b’s and scammers. The world is healing.

“There were a lot of women behind [Platner] on stage last night.” “Good thing they were behind him and not in front of him.” ☠️

I'm not here trying to change the world, I'm just trying to make you laugh at it. Me love you long time. Thanks for the support.

I was Paxton’s lead lawyer in the fraudulent impeachment. Our team consisted of more than twenty lawyers. I understand that my friend Dan Cogdell publicly supports AG Paxton’s opponent. I’m not surprised by this. Mr. Cogdell is a life-long Democrat. I also understand that Mr. Cogdell recently got crossways with AG Paxton concerning some real estate development that Paxton opposed and Cogdell represented. AG Paxton (and Governor Abbott) alleged that the developer sought to impose Sharia law. Now you know the rest of the story. I firmly support AG Paxton for US Senate.

The #climateclowns cannot get their heads around the fact that CO2 is both plant food and a greenhouse gas.

Democrats Push For Death Certificates To Be Accepted As Voter ID buff.ly/3rFXKIi

The Dems have all confessed that they were willing to lie about a President in order to hold onto power. No one can believe them with regard to any defense they offer now about Platner. They are all lying in their defense of him.

"Honest" -- like in her dishonest piece about Ron DeSantis and the Publix Supermarket chain, linking Publix being given a COVID vaccine contract in exchange for a $100,000 contribution to DeSantis? Deceptive Editing: Alfonsi confronted Gov. about the Publix deal, but 60 Minutes edited his response by omitting the portion of his answer explaining that CVS and Walgreens were tied up administering vaccines in long-term care facilities at the time, and that Publix was simply the first pharmacy to volunteer and prove it was ready for the larger roll-out needed. Florida's emergency management director -- a Democrat -- publicly stated that the decision to use Publix was made by his office, not the Governor, and that undermined entirely the conspiracy narrative that was the foundation of the 60 Minutes story. Other Democrats in Florida and Publix pushed back against the story. But that didn't slow Alfonsi or 60 Minutes down since De Santis was, at that time, considered to be the frontrunner for the GOP POTUS nomination in 2024. "In a Sunday night tweet directed at “60 Minutes,” Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz wrote, “I said this before and I’ll say it again. [Publix] was recommended by [Florida Division of Emergency Management] and [Florida Department of Public Health]. Period! Full stop!” “No one from the Governors office suggested Publix,” Moskowitz added. “It’s just absolute malarkey.” Is it that kind of "honest" journalism you are referring to??
