Tylenol use is safe in pregnancy, lowest effective dose. Don’t listen to the utter nonsense emanating from the highest office in the land today. Speak to your medical provider.

Funny how two of the more interesting pieces of data at #ASCO25 have little to do with extraneous medications per se, but rather the body’s circadian rhythm and physiology: 1: Exercise after surgery 2: Checkpoint inhibitors in the morning

One tiny, scientifically pathetic, and downright fraudulent and retracted paper claiming MMR vaccine is linked to autism. 25 large studies looking at MILLIONS of kids showing no link at all. But sure go ahead and waste millions of dollars of taxpayers money to study it again.

Help it make sense? Supposed to review for @NIH study section tomorrow-Wednesday. 1000s of hours of work by dedicated scientists and physicians trying to find cures for #cancer. As of 2 pm, we’re “still on hold” to see if we are going to hold the study section TOMORROW MORNING!!

Several years in the making (and aging), @Xueqian_Zhuang 's study on aging is out today @Nature. She finds, surprisingly, that aging suppresses tumorigenesis and stemness in the lung by promoting a functional iron insufficiency in the alveolar epithelium. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Ageing limits stemness and tumorigenesis by reprogramming iron homeostasis

Nature - Studies using mouse models of lung adenocarcinoma identify an association between age, iron homeostasis and tumour initiation potential that involves NUPR1 and lipocalin-2.

Excited to share our newest pre-print by Xueqian Zhuang on how aging suppresses tumorigenesis and stemness in the lung by promoting a functional iron insufficiency in the alveolar epithelium. Interestingly, this renders aged cells resistant to ferroptosis: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Aging limits stemness and tumorigenesis in the lung by reprogramming iron homeostasis

Aging is associated with a decline in the number and fitness of adult stem cells[1][1]–[4][2]. Aging-associated loss of stemness is posited to suppress tumorigenesis[5][3],[6][4], but this hypothesis...

New in @CR_AACR from @Valentina_PitaG & @ZCMlab - this labor love took a while so I am happy to see it published! Physical Activity Decreases Inflammation and Delays Development of Obesity-Associated #PancreaticCancer aacrjournals.org/cancerres/a… In addition to reiterating the role of IL-15 /IL-15r axis in mediating the beneficial effects of physical activity, this study also reinforces the importance of using the labor intensive autochthonous models to gauge the full impact of lifestyle prevention studies.

In my mind, if confirmed in the planned Ph3, this would be the most significant HN trial in decades. Kudos to Nancy, Eric, and Nadeem for spearheading this. Brilliant work. #radonc #hncsm @imrtlee @xrtGenomics #EricSherman
