I teach this in my GMO lecture, something to think about before banning all GMOs.

From a surgeon in my family:

No. But old enough to have forgotten a lot of things... yeah 4 kingdoms. Boozeheimers helps to do that too. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I tip my hat to you. We NEED science. I'm glad Sam Neill is cancer free.

CAR-T destroyed the cancer that had attacked my aunt but as a consequence it also destroyed her immune system and that is what killed her.

CAR-T is also being studied for potential usage in treating autoimmune conditions iirc! Very exciting stuff.

Oh, I think my Dad had the same treatment!

GO CAR-T! That rocks, not only for the pun opportunities!

well why we used to

I had a fun time learning what CRS and ICANS were during my first MICU block as an intern 😵‍💫

It's very cool how it works. Imagine taking a patients blood, arming the t cells with some new and improved limbs for latching on to cancer, and then releasing them back into the patient as robocop t- cells. Some science fiction level type of moves 😎

I read about this when my dad was diagnosed in 2016. Unfortunately the trials were small and we couldn’t get him in one.

you sure it wasn’t from peptides?

I just learned about this today in microbio!

Yep CAR-T is essentially a miracle drug. Cured my (young, early 30s) brother's stage 4 lymphoma when nothing else worked at all.

🤗💝

Is 5 when it counts as a cure for all cancers? I just cleared 4 and my oncologists have been saying since my treatment started that 5 is when they'll call it a cure. I don't know about all cancers, just my personal devil, so I'm just curious honestly.

It’s incredible isn’t it? UPenn is where the tech was first developed here in Philly. Some of the new research shows it can be used to target autoreactive immune cells to treat/maybe cure some autoimmune diseases!!

Excellent! Too bad that the Trumpsters and RFK Jr. have puta stop to all new research on MRNA-related treatments and cures....

You practice a little while, and sooner than you realize there’ll start being a bunch of *old* txs you didn’t learn about in med school

I’m only I’ve done venous cutdowns on cadavers old

I'm gonna get 7 doctorates using AI. I'm so so smart

just because I have grey hair and use a walker,

💓

I learned about it from med students studying for Step

Showing cancer the CAR-T Dor

He prolly found that cancer in Event Horizon.

The speed of medical breakthroughs is wild — CAR-T literally reprograms your immune system to hunt cancer like a custom-built assassin. Makes you wonder what other "impossible" treatments are brewing in labs right now.

This being the prologue of how Event Horizon becomes a prophecy is why we invest in science fiction.

I've read of a few examples of use for autoimmune conditions as well but ai don't remember them.

My husband has been diagnosed with bladder cancer and the new treatments are incredible. And they already have FDA approval so they can’t be fucked up. Fuck Cancer Yay Science.

I was on a waiting list for a CAR-T study just in case my BMT didn’t take.

Why we used to

I hope he truly is cancer-free.

Science fucking rules.

Fair.

Science is great! Especially medical advances - the news about pancreatic cancer that just came out? ♥️

I learned about it while in treatment, but it’s not very accessible in most of Canada, because provinces don’t cover high cost. I did get an autologous stem cell transplant, which kept the chronic lymphoma in check for 7 years. But I think if it came back, that would have to be the direction to go.

I know about it because I used to work at Penn Med and Carl June was featured in newsletters at least once a month.

Wish Sam knew how pleased people he's never met are that he is cancer free.

It's amazing what CAR-T is capable of!
