The Montana Tech women do it, erase a 19-point deficit and defeat top-seeded Dakota State 76-72 to earn their first title since '83. Hometown product Brooke Badovinac delivered the go-ahead triple to lock up one of the biggest victories in this program's history. #mtscores




We've spent 50 years trying to kill cancer cells. What if the answer was never to kill them but to remind them who they are? Cancer cells aren't foreign invaders. They're your own cells that lost their identity. They stopped differentiating, stopped maturing, and started growing without limits. Cancer doesn't create anything new. It hijacks normal biology. Researchers at KAIST in South Korea identified three master regulators, MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2, keeping colon cancer cells locked in a malignant state. When they silenced all three? The cancer cells differentiated back into normal, healthy tissue. MYC and WNT pathways shut down. In mice, tumors shrank significantly. No chemo. No radiation. Just reprogramming. Here's what most people will miss: HDAC2 is a histone deacetylase. It compacts DNA and silences tumor suppressor genes. We already use HDAC inhibitors in our protocols. This isn't new to us. But it's powerful validation. Cancer and aging are the same problem. Cells that no longer serve the body but learned to hijack the immune system to survive. The answer isn't bigger bombs. It's restoration. Still preclinical. But the direction is exactly right. Kudos to the @kaistpr team. 👏

Steve Nash on the issues with basketball development in the USA "Its pay to play in the states. Capitalism is wonderful, not great for player development. In Europe the playing is free. Theres no hidden motives and we have to win or the kid is leaving for the next club.... Here its just been totally commercialized"
