Researchers mostly from Kyoto University found the impaired function of a specific gene contributes to the malignancy of pancreatic cancer, which is hard to treat using chemotherapy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/25/japan/science-health/pancreatic-cancer-mechanism/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sciencehealth #kyotouniversity #health #pancreaticcancer #cancer

"Si nous sommes si peu pour l’instant et que nous dérangeons autant, eh bien c’est que nous sommes au bon endroit. J’ai autant le droit de vivre que tous ces ultrariches, et on n’a pas à m’imposer la maladie pour la seule souveraineté alimentaire. C’est un mauvais calcul, et c’est mal nous connaître que de croire que nous allons nous laisser faire."
Voilà ce que m'a dit, entre autres, Fleur Breteau pour @mediapart . Nouvelle figure de la lutte contre les #pesticides, cette femme atteinte d'un #cancer a fait irruption le 8 juillet à l'Assemblée, à l'issue du vote de la loi "Duplomb".
This is beyond the invasion of privacy that I'm now accustomed to.
For example, when I have to go to the Cancer Hospital for another blood draw or CT scan as part of my Oncology care....if I have to keep my phone on, or turn it on?
I start getting a new wave of Cremation services ads.
It's just not ok.
Researchers at the National Cancer Center Japan say they have discovered how a previously unknown group of gut bacteria can boost the efficacy of a class of anticancer drugs. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/15/japan/science-health/japan-anticancer-drugs/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sciencehealth #cancer #medicine #drugs

Citizen Science is All Fun and Games - You are probably familiar with initiatives like Seti@Home, where you donate unused... - https://hackaday.com/2025/07/13/citizen-science-is-all-fun-and-games/ #citizenscience #science #cancer #games
So what you're saying is 'Pigeons are smarter than what we call AI these days', yeah?

Bon, je lance une annonce pour ma collègue qui a un #cancer : un #logement le moins cher possible en région parisienne qui permettent d'accéder facilement à #Paris pour ses nombreux RDVs, propre et sain (contrairement à son dernier logement). Studio, deux pièces...elle est indemnisée car en arrêt maladie longue durée. 800€ max, moins c'est mieux.
Si vous entendez parler d'un truc avec un proprio pas complètement cinglé, let me know !
About half of people who died of cancer in Japan in 2021 are seen to have consulted with doctors about where they wanted to spend the end of their lives, the National Cancer Center has said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/03/japan/science-health/japan-cancer-place-of-death-wishes-survey/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sciencehealth #cancer #surveys #health#covid19

@UlrikeHahn
We as researchers are just super naive. If you ask me, those things go back to Big #Tabacco vs #Science
Ironically, they demanded what we in #OpenScience demand nowadays, but with a very different aim... :(
I touch upon that in a recent #preprint on open data: https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/hk786_v1
"Long before today’s #Open #Science movements, the Executive Committee of the Sound Science Coalition (1994; cited in Ong & Glantz, 2001) published guidelines that align with what Open Science practices advocate today. For example:
(1) The study design should inform about all hypotheses,
(2) after the study was conducted, the data should be analyzed as described in the study design, and
(3) if the data does not support the hypotheses, no further analyses are necessary.
Shockingly, in #1994 these recommendations were motivated by the fact that parts of the #tobacco industry aimed to #discredit research and researchers on a large scale, with the goal that it could not be legally established that smoking increases the risk of lung #cancer (Drope, 2001; Muggli et al., 2001; Ong & Glantz, 2001). Along this line, one may accuse researchers as having been naive to the vested interests aligning with scientific rigour by non-researchers."
