"In a first-ever human clinical trial, an mRNA cancer vaccine developed at the University of Florida successfully reprogrammed patients’ immune systems to fiercely attack glioblastoma, the most aggressive and lethal brain tumor.
The results in four adult patients mirrored those in 10 pet dog patients suffering from brain tumors whose owners approved of their participation.
The discovery represents a potential new way to recruit the immune system to fight treatment-resistant cancers using an iteration of mRNA technology and lipid nanoparticles, similar to COVID-19 vaccines, but with two key differences: use of a patient’s own tumor cells to create a personalized vaccine, and a newly engineered complex delivery mechanism within the vaccine.
“Instead of us injecting single particles, we’re injecting clusters of particles that are wrapping around each other like onions,” said senior author Elias Sayour, M.D., Ph.D., a UF Health pediatric oncologist who pioneered the new vaccine, which like other immunotherapies attempts to “educate” the immune system that a tumor is foreign.
“These clusters alert the immune system in a much more profound way than single particles would.”
Among the most impressive findings was how quickly the new method spurred a vigorous immune-system response to reject the tumor, said Sayour, principal investigator at the University’s RNA Engineering Laboratory and McKnight Brain Institute investigator who led the multi-institution research team.
“In less than 48 hours, we could see these tumors shifting from what we refer to as ‘cold’—very few immune cells, very silenced immune response—to ‘hot,’ very active immune response,” he said.
“That was very surprising given how quick this happened, and what that told us is we were able to activate the early part of the immune system very rapidly against these cancers, and that’s critical to unlock the later effects of the immune response,” he explained in a video (below).
Glioblastoma is among the most devastating diagnoses, with median survival around 15 months. Current standard of care involves surgery, radiation and some combination of chemotherapy.
The new report, published May 1 in the journal Cell, is the culmination of seven years of promising studies, starting in preclinical mouse models.
In the cohort of four patients, genetic material called RNA was extracted from each patient’s own surgically removed tumor, and then messenger RNA (mRNA)—the blueprint of what is inside every cell, including tumor cells—was amplified and wrapped in the newly designed high-tech packaging of biocompatible lipid nanoparticles, to make tumor cells “look” like a dangerous virus when reinjected into the bloodstream to prompt an immune-system response.
The vaccine was personalized to each patient with a goal of getting the most out of their unique immune system...
While too early in the trial to assess the clinical effects of the vaccine, the patients either lived disease-free longer than expected or survived longer than expected. The 10 pet dogs lived a median of 4.5 months, compared with a median survival of 30-60 days typical for dogs with the condition.
The next step, with support from the Food and Drug Administration and the CureSearch for Children’s Cancer foundation, will be an expanded Phase I clinical trial to include up to 24 adult and pediatric patients to validate the findings. Once an optimal and safe dose is confirmed, an estimated 25 children would participate in Phase 2."

Summary of Dream's livestream with Techno's father if people can't or are unable watch:
youtube
Most importantly, please support Techno's family and the Sarcoma Foundation by buying merch here: (You can also donate directly to the Sarcoma Foundation here)
Dream is streaming with Techno's father & staying with the family
Techno's father met Skeppy, for the Sarcoma Foundation Gala he asked for Skeppy's favorite video with Techno and Skeppy said it was the "skeppy tries to troll me but i troll him first" video
Techno's father has been intentionally pulling up memories and stories of Techno's whole life which was "a speedrun" and full of joy and happiness, rather than just focusing on the last week
When Techno and his younger sister were diaper age, she fell down the final 2 steps of the staircase (completely fine) and while their father was trying to explain to their mother what happened, Techno walked in and said "baby fall down CRASH"
The first message that Dream sent to Techno was trying to Trojan horse his way into Minecraft Monday by playing with Techno. Techno's reply was "maybe next time" and Techno kicked his ass in Dream's first MCM. Sapnap thought Techno was overhyped but then Sapnap watched the next Techno MCM and changed his mind
Techno's father didn't really watch or understand Minecraft, he watched Techno 1v1 tons of people without losing any hearts and asked him "Do the other players even know you're there?"
Techno vs. Dream $100k duel: Techno's father never saw him stress about anything in his career except for the duel. Techno's father was competitive on Techno's behalf like "who is this green smiling man gaining subscribers faster than my boy?!" Techno texted his dad as soon as he knew it was at least a tie and he couldn't lose.
Dream saw Techno release "death merch" and thought that was the coolest, most Technoblade thing he had ever seen
Techno's entire family loved the "no one took the news harder than my health provider. they're the real victim" joke
Dream did an elbow reveal in honor of Techno
Techno's father made a joke to Dream about getting ready to do his (Techno's father's) own face reveal
Techno's father made this joke: "This video today is sponsored by cancer, without which this video would not have happened" and Dream called him an idiot
Techno's father thinks Techno would have done a proper face reveal. There were a couple of months where doctors were saying the next step would be to amputate his entire arm and shoulder. Techno joked that it was going to be the most epic elbow reveal ever and that they'd "traumatize millions." Techno's father was as positive as he could be without being fake and he got Techno a present ahead of the surgery (which never ended up happening), a 1st edition printing of Hemingway's "A Farewell To Arms."
Dream and Techno teaming in MCC: This is when they really started becoming friends, before that they had been more rivals/frenemies. Techno also never said or joked about giving Dream his first MCC win.
Techno was whitelisted for way longer before he actually joined the server, back when it was just a few people (Tommy might have asked him to whitelist Techno).
Techno had a Minecraft account called "Whitelisted" when he didn't want to be recognized, just to make the joke "You can't do this if you're not whitelisted"
Techno's dad has GOTTA tell dad jokes
When Techno was young, he would always talk to his dad about being a gaming Youtuber and Techno's father would tell him "no one would want to watch someone else play a video game" lmao
When Techno was young and he'd be building for hours in Roblox and they'd have a power failure, Techno would complain to his dad about all of his work being wasted and Techno's dad would say "all of that PLAY wasted"
Techno talked to his dad about what circumstances would lead to him face revealing, he would have wanted it to be funny and memorable but he never had a clear plan for it
Techno had a front bedroom with a TERRIBLE desk. Techno's dad told Techno to come to the studio to pick out any chair he wanted, Techno went into his dad's office and picked his dad's chair LMAO. Techno's dad offered for him to work on a soundstage because their house had horrible acoustics but Techno said "eh." At 2am when the family was trying to sleep they'd hear him screaming and yelling, it was so annoying when it happened but so painful when it stopped
Techno's dad would text him a meme and Techno would call him a loser, he'd ask him to watch Hunter x Hunter together. Techno couldn't eat without watching TV at the same time
Techno's dad sometimes sees posts on Reddit and his instinct is to send them to Techno. Techno's dad has come close to making a reddit account, he said hello and thanks to Techno's subreddit and he reads their posts a lot when he can take it.
Techno's dad knew Techno had a big audience, but he didn't and still kind of doesn't understand how he meant a lot to people in ways that have nothing to do with PvP or funny jokes. He's proud of Techno and grateful to everyone. The executive director of the Sarcoma Foundation told Techno's family they haven't seen anything like this before with regards to fundraising, she told them that a little kid ran a lemonade stand and raised $150 for the Sarcoma Foundation in honor of Techno.
Techno's dad: "If we do the call-to-action (to donate to Sarcoma Foundation) 10 times, I should get 6 of them" (referencing Techno beating Dream in the duel 6-5). Dream: "I see where he got his humor from"
There has been a refresh today of the merch store so GO BUY THE MERCH!!!! Techno didn't like when there were delays in people receiving merch, so you can only order when it's in stock so GO BUY NOW
Dream will be signing some unreleased merch concepts to include as an extra in some orders
Techno's father thanked Dream and he appreciates everything Dream did for them, he also loves Skeppy
Dream wants to get everyone together and do a massive fundraiser

Cancer vlog - week 1
youtube
Monday July 15th, I found out that Oreo has a mass in his small intestine. We had gone back and forth to the vet for weeks after a bowel obstruction and an Ultrasound resulted in the finding of this mass. The mass is most likely lymphoma of the GI tract, which is one of the most common cancers for cats his age. This week has been an emotional rollercoaster. We're waiting to see the oncologist this coming Wednesday to find out exactly what we're dealing with and how I can help Oreo. This is week 1 of our journey.

Critical Role actor Sam Riegel shares about his cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery. This is so devastating because it affects his talent and work - voice acting. But fortunately, he is in recovery because they caught it early and treated him. Please get vaccinated against HPV - people in our generation didn't have this option, but it's such an important way to prevent several horrible types of cancer.

Astrology Observations🤍7
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Libra women I meet have never fail to impress me with their beauty and also surface level assets and choices. That venus speaks so loudly. If you want to have more of that venusian vibe in your aura and aesthetic learn from A libra sun moon or rising.
Anyone else noticed Aries can be compulsive liars?
Aquarius risings aren’t too good at reading the room
Scorpio sun kids (mostly referring to boys) can be so volatile, but I’ve noticed when they grow up they then tend to compartmentalise things and have multiple faces going on depending whom they’re dealing with. Example: extrovert with friends introvert at home.
Man… Pisces, applies to Pisces venus too,, will love the idea of you more than the actual you. Applies to both men and women
Sagittarius sun will be much more upfront and honest than a Sag rising.i really think that Sag rising is much more calculating when it comes to what they show people compared to a Sag sun.
Sagittarius sun= what you see is what you get
Scorpio Sun + Sag rising combo will be some of the most vengeful and agenda oriented people ever. Seriously if you meet someone with this combo they’re so sweet until they’re not and will mess you up just because you don’t include them in something. You have been warned.
I notice Capricorn sun women tend to be holding their houses together and take on so much responsibility, but at the same time can be quite submissive when it comes to their husbands. They may seem a bit feisty but I feel in the end they like it when they can trust someone enough to make decisions for them
Love a Gemini sun when I need some downtime fun time
Men with that earth sign air sign combo really love extroverted women who embody a free spirit ~or they love a girl who seems mysterious but still is outgoing

So Sam has come out with why he's been gone, and is encouraging everyone who's in the right age groups to get the HPV Virus vaccine because cancer sucks, and he's just had first hand experience as to it sucking.

😳˚₊‧19 & 23: The Toughest Years of Your Life (Based on Astrology)˚₊‧😳

If you’re turning 19 or 23, you are entering one of the most challenging years of your life. Welcome to your 8H & 12H profection year. You may experience significant shifts in your life & major endings. You’ll reevaluate your identity, purpose, and personal power.
When you turn 19, you step into an 8H profection year. The 8H is all about change, often occurring in a profound & intense manner. During this year, you may experience significant shifts in your life. You are like a caterpillar preparing to turn into a butterfly.
This marks a time when you’ll focus on addressing your traumas, coping with loss, reinventing yourself, setting boundaries, and dealing with cycles of death and rebirth. Being in an 8th house profection year is not a walk in the park, it can be life-changing & transformative — that’s the whole point! I’m not surprised most people have challenging experiences when they turn 19. Trauma, loss, and profound change step to the forefront. That’s tough stuff to deal with.
When you turn 23, you enter a 12H profection year. The 12H emphasizes solitude & introspection. You might find yourself feeling more isolated or withdrawn during this period. You may also confront deep-seated fears, or unresolved issues that have been buried within you.
This means that the upcoming twelve months will help you focus on self-reflection, withdrawing, slowing down, addressing underlying mental health concerns & self-destructive patterns. The 12th house is a compelling area in the birth chart because it’s the place of solitude, the subconscious, secrets being kept or uncovered, release, and letting go.
Dealing with a 12th house profection year can be a challenge for many people because unconscious patterns step to the forefront. The key is holding yourself accountable & being willing to change. Additionally, the feeling of being isolated and alone can pervade your life, which can make coping a bit harder.

The Ashlesha Nakshatra, the Snake Princess, and Amazon Lily🐍
‼️Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault, Human Trafficking ‼️
Based on: One Piece, Amazon Lily Arc (episodes 408-421). “Island of Women”
Hello everyone! I just want to say that I am NOT a Vedic astrologer, however I have been researching my own placements. I’m an Ashlesha lagna, so of course I saw the similarities in the Pirate Empress and this arc. This is my analysis on the connection between the Ashlesha Nakshatra, Boa Hancock, the Kuja Pirates, and Amazon Lily.
Tumblr media
“Snake Princess”: Snake symbolism on the island and in this arc are very prevalent. You can see this with the Gorgon sisters (Boa’s younger siblings), the use of snakes as weapons, and the use giant of snake monsters to travel. The Jolly Roger of the Kuja pirates pictures a skull with nine snakes. Snakes are connected to Ashlesha because it ruled by the Nagas (divine serpents).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Kuja tribe also has qualities like a snake. Their island, Amazon Lily, rests on the Calm Belt. This makes them a fairly isolated island that is hard to travel to. Ashlesha is known to be a guarded and private nakshatra.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Boa Hancock: Boa Hancock has two nicknames, the Pirate Empress and the Snake Princess. Her first title comes from being the ruler of Amazon Lily, which also makes her the strongest person on the island. She possesses a “devil fruit” called the mero mero no mi (aka the love-love fruit). This fruit gives her the power to turn people into stone when they become enamored by her beauty, and sometimes lust after her. She is also known as the most beautiful woman in the world, which makes her power even more potent. The snake princess has her own snake weapon named Salome, who is a giant snake. There is currently debate about what nak is connected to Medusa symbolism and I think it is the Ashlesha nak. You can especially see this in Boa’s character arc. She has a hard, intimidating appearance to protect herself and her tribe. However, on the inside she is the complete opposite.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gorgon Sisters: The Gorgon sisters are Boa Hancock’s younger sisters. They both ate the hebi hebi no mi (snake devil fruit), but they possess different models. The middle sister, Boa Sandersonia, ate the anaconda model. The youngest sister, Boa Marigold, ate the cobra model.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Over-sexualization: Amazon Lily is only inhabited by women, thus it catches the attention of predatory and perverted men. The island is an almost impenetrable fortress and with the help of the Kuja warriors who also protect it, predatory behavior is a reason why. Boa Hancock and her younger sisters were also victims of human trafficking and sexual assault (SA has been speculated but fans believe that this is what the anime was alluding to). Not only is this nak heavily sexualized in real life, this trope is seen many times in film and television with characters played by Ashlesha women. You can see this further explained in Claire Nakti's Youtube video about Ashlesha.
Claire Nakti Ashlesha Youtube Video:
youtube
Since I am on the Claire Nakti video, I would like to also include one very specific thing she talks about here. Claire talks about how Ashlesha women are attracted to people they cannot dominate, people who have more control over themselves. Boa Hancock falls in love with the main protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy, because he didn’t immediately lust after her. They believe that strength is tied to beauty and the more strong you are the more beautiful you are, and Luffy is one of the strongest men in the world. Once she realized he was genuine with a good heart she immediately fell in love.
Tumblr media
The Kuja tribe are very skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to poison and medicine. When Luffy first landed on the island, he ate poisonous mushrooms. Some Kuja members rescued him and healed at a river. The Gorgon sisters also fight with poison, which they used to fight Luffy. The Ashlesha nakshatra has a strong connection to alchemy, poison, medicine, and chemistry.
Tumblr media
Also, it’s funny how Ashlesha is ninth in the order of the nakshatras. Kuja means “nine snakes” and their Jolly Roger has nine snakes.

Another article on the topic: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/29/congress-is-killing-bidens-cancer-moonshot-00154718
Republican controlled Congress cut the funding to Biden's Moonshot Cancer Initiative -- Biden's plan for funding research for a cure for Cancer -- because they didn't want Biden to have a win to run on for November. Republicans show that they care more about their politics than the health of the people. Republicans are cartoonshily evil.
