Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, stands with arms crossed and a calm, confident smile, wearing a black blazer over a red top, shoulder-length silver-gray hair, and wire-rimmed glasses. Behind her is a blurred, vibrant red-and-orange abstract backdrop. A pioneering woman in STEM who reshaped our understanding of aging and DNA.

Scientists win Nobel Prize for groundbreaking immune system work

The prize-winning discovery explains how the immune system attacks hostile infections, but not the body's own cells.

Research led by Dr. Kayvan Keshari, a biochemist and bioengineer at MSK, found that immune cells might be reprogrammed to use the body’s #fructose — a naturally occurring sugar — as an energy source that supercharges them to fight #cancer.

I AM DEPRESSED. The anxiety of my wife's #cancer diagnosis is wearing on me. Holding both perspectives in my mind leaves me breathless, at times. The best I can do is to try not to think about it. Just be in the moment with her. But that's hard, too. Thanks for listening. #BoxCatTwilight

Vaccine for Pancreatic Cancer and CRC Sparks Early Hope

While phase 1 data suggest the novel vaccine can boost immunity and reduce relapse in pancreatic and colorectal cancer, experts remain cautious at this initial stage.

Molecular biologist Carolyn Greider was born #OTD in 1961. She shared the 2009 #Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of the enzyme telomerase & how chromosomes are protected by telomeres. This has 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 implications for the fields of #aging and #cancer research. #WomenInSTEM

A vibrant color studio portrait of Carolyn Widney Greider, the American molecular biologist and Nobel laureate who discovered the enzyme telomerase and shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for revealing how chromosomes are protected from shortening during cell division. In this warm, professional head-and-shoulders photograph, she faces the camera directly with a bright, genuine smile that reveals her teeth and lights up her eyes, conveying warmth, intelligence, and quiet confidence. Her shoulder-length, wavy blonde hair frames her face softly. She wears a bright turquoise ribbed knit cardigan with a draped collar over a black top, accented by small blue stud earrings. The background is a soft, out-of-focus gradient of blues and greens that keeps the focus entirely on her approachable presence. The overall composition is clean and intimate. The mood is one of joyful accomplishment and scientific dedication, powerfully symbolizing Greider’s groundbreaking contributions to molecular biology, our understanding of aging, cancer, and cellular immortality, and her role as a trailblazing woman in STEM.

Good news! Gut bacteria in reptiles and amphibians have #cancer fighting properties and a specific one attacks tumor tissue while amping up the immune response, enlisting extra help from T cells, B cells, and neutrophils to shrink tumors, sometimes completely. www.sciencealert.com/powe….

Update on my wife's cancer diagnosis and pathology report. The surgery to remove the tumor was successful. It was determined that it was stage 1 renal cell carcinoma localized in the kidney and was not the return of nonhodgkins lymphoma which she beat 16yrs ago. She's 2 and 0 against #cancer
