I’ve never told how much Apple did to help evacuate my grandmother from the hell that was happening in Kharkiv in 2023. They hired security contractors to get people out. The level of coordination on the ground and online was insane—translators, drivers, everything. Grateful.

I love this story In 2003, it was reported that the stress response protein, MIC-1 (aka GDF-15), is raised in cancer patients with muscle wasting and weight loss (cachexia): In 2007, a monoclonal antibody that blocks MIC-1 (GDF-15) was found to boost appetite and weight gain in

I did some reading on high-dimensional data spaces recently and this explanation was the most enlightening one explaining the curse of dimensionality.

What if we used accelerated (biological, epigenetic clock) aging for cancer screening instead of chronological age? Example for early-onset colon cancer aacrjournals.org/cancerpreventi…

Totally agree! These paywalls are one of the biggest impediments to scientific progress! So fed up with these gatekeeper journals. We do the work, taxpayers fund it, we write the papers & then we have to pay to publish them. Yet we & tax payers have to pay again to access them!

Apparently, current TNF-a inhibitors will be nothing but dust in the history, extraordinary period of scientific progress. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In the ASPEN phase 3 trial involving patients with noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, the rate of pulmonary exacerbations over a 52-week period was lower with brensocatib (10 mg or 25 mg per day) than with placebo. Full trial results: nej.md/4lBHwUr Editorial:

Good news in cancer screening!!! A new blood test detects early-stage colorectal cancer with 95% accuracy by analyzing RNA modifications—a more stable and sensitive marker than RNA or DNA levels alone. In a study of 27 CRC patients (including stage 0–I) and 36 matched controls,

Son zamanlarda gördüğüm en yaratıcı işlerden biri, hasta gizlilik konusu ABD’de çok önemli, hasta sayı kısıtlılığı ise büyük problem. Bizim gibi ülkelerde overdose sağlık hizmeti sebebiyle yüksek sayıda hasta sayısına erişilebiliyor. ABD bu engeli aşmış 😱 linkedin.com/posts/umit-top…
