Ich war heute zur Hautkrebsvorsorge. Die Ärztin hat mir mitgeteilt, dass ich mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit schwarzen Hautkrebs am Bein habe. Am 6.5. ist meine Operation. 🤢 Ohne diese Vorsorge hätte ich das noch lange nicht erkannt! ⤵️

Scientists just built a delivery system that drops HEALTHY MITOCHONDRIA directly into sick cells — and it rescued dying neurons. As a medical school professor, I've argued for years that mitochondrial dysfunction sits at the root of chronic disease. This Nature paper moves the argument from theory to therapy. The system is MitoCatch. Built by Botond Roska's team at IOB Basel, it uses protein binders to target donor mitochondria to specific diseased cells. What they showed: - Donor mitochondria fuse with the native network and function normally - Rescued retinal ganglion cells from an LHON patient - Improved neuronal survival after optic nerve crush in mice - No detectable immune response If giving a cell fresh mitochondria rescues it from death, the broken mitochondria were the disease. Not a symptom. The cause. Parkinson's. Alzheimer's. Heart failure. Different labels. Same ground zero — the mitochondrion.

NEW episode! Drug development has never been more expensive, in terms of output per dollar spent. This trend, called Eroom’s law, is surprising, considering the incredible technological advances in drug discovery, from genome sequencing to engineering to microscopy. On a new episode of the Works in Progress podcast, @bswud and I talk to @RuxandraTeslo about why this has happened and what can be done about it. We discuss how: • AI isn’t a magic bullet for drug discovery. Predictive models lack the physical human data, like individual variation and rare side effects, that can only be generated by actually running real-world clinical trials. • As scientists invent more effective drugs, it becomes harder to discover new treatments that can surpass past successes. This is known as the "Better than the Beatles" problem. • Biotech companies are increasingly moving their "first-in-human" trials to Australia because its simpler regulations allow researchers to test drug safety faster and cheaper than in the US. • Clinical trials can be made more efficient with various reforms including: embracing platform trials, allowing researchers to select from independent ethics boards, expanding the funding and validation of surrogate endpoints, increasing transparency by releasing regulatory correspondence from failed companies, and much more. Timestamps: 00:00:00 Eroom’s law and the paradox of drug development 00:08:03 How clinical trials actually work 00:10:23 The power and controversy of surrogate endpoints 00:14:01 How historical patent laws influenced trial timelines 00:22:46 The Australia advantage and regulatory drag 00:29:08 Institutional review boards (IRBs) and bureaucratic drag 00:32:21 Open science and successful reforms 00:41:49 Our wishlist for clinical trial reforms, and which reforms we *don’t* like 00:53:48 Why AI isn’t a magic bullet for drug discovery

Von @jmwell auf Facebook: „Was für eine traurige Nachricht: Andreas @Hallaschka_HH ist tot. Der ehemalige Merian-Chefredakteur, engagierte Christ und Bruder des Stern-TV-Moderators Steffen Hallaschka ist am Wochenende überraschend gestorben, mit gerade einmal 63 Jahren. Nun haben seine Angehörigen seine Facebookseite mit einem Trauerflor versehen. Wir kannten uns über unsere Kinder, die zusammen in Hamburg-Niendorf groß geworden sind. Ich habe Andreas als sehr herzlichen, klugen und humorvollen Menschen erlebt, der dabei aber zugleich sehr streitbar war. Mit viel Elan kämpfte er auch in den sozialen Medien gegen Dinge, die ihm nicht passten. Ende 2013 gründete er nach Übergriffen auf Polizisten die Facebookseite "Solidarität mit den Beamten der Davidwache", die binnen kürzester Zeit mehr als 50.000 Unterstützer fand. Bei Twitter/X lieferte er sich bisweilen auch härtere Debatten z.B. ums Gendern oder den Nahostkonflikt. 2014 habe ich einmal über Andreas und sein Engagement einen Artikel in der WELT geschrieben, der sein Wesen ein wenig beschreibt (Link im ersten Kommentar, frei lesbar). Seine Lebensfreude wird fehlen, auch seine Freude am Streiten. Ich hoffe, dass Andreas' Glaube sich erfüllt hat und er nun an einem wunderbaren Ort ist. Mein herzliches Beileid gilt seiner Familie. Ruhe in Frieden, lieber Andreas Hallaschka.“ Wir verlieren einen wunderbaren Freund des jüdischen Volkes und einen grandiosen Freund Israels. So ein guter Mensch. Ich bin wirklich unfassbar traurig. 😢 Möge Andreas die Erde leicht sein. 🕯️ Baruch dayan ha‘emet.

Bemerkenswert: Jahrelang wurde der katholische Glaube aus linksliberalen Milieus (Hallo @derspiegel) belächelt oder abgewertet - und plötzlich erscheinen solche Texte. Unabhängig davon gilt: Jedes verlorene Lamm, das den Weg zurück zur Herde findet, ist ein Grund zur Freude.

@YannickBuccella I think a lot of it is anxiety inducing. All the things that can go wrong. Of course in some cases it makes sense to test genetics to find the reason for a disease but sometimes it doesn’t.

From a technical POV this is obviously amazing, but - maybe an unpopular opinion - what do you do with those results? Let’s say you find a mutation, which is associated with an increased Alzheimer’s disease risk. Do you go get an MRI every time you can’t find your keys? It’s technically super impressive, but what do we actually achieve with a majority of the data, that we generate by doing this on a high scale?

This is AWESOME... Some guy just sequenced his entire DNA genome on his kitchen table 🧬🧪 It tells his cancer risk, drug responses, what his kids will inherit, and which diseases are coming decades before the symptoms. Your genome is a 3.2 billion letter source code that predicts more about your health than any other test in existence. Almost no one has ever read their own. This used to require a hospital, a specialist, and a referral that most doctors won't write. The raw data would sit in a medical record you'd never see. Until now. Here's how he did it: → Rubbed a cheek swab against the inside of his mouth for 60 seconds → Extracted the DNA from his cells using a $150 kit → Prepped the DNA for sequencing with enzymes that attach a motor protein to each strand → Loaded the sample onto a nanopore device the size of a highlighter, plugged into a MacBook The device works by pulling single strands of DNA through holes one atom wide. As each letter passes through, it changes the electrical resistance in a tiny but measurable way. A neural network listens to the signal and reconstructs the sequence. 48 hours later, he had his full genome on his hard drive. The data never touched a server. No spit kit in the mail. No company owning his most sensitive biological information. No risk of the whole thing getting auctioned off in a bankruptcy, which is exactly what happened to 23andMe's 15 million customers earlier this year. AI is unlocking personal health in a way that has been impossible. We're still so early.

Merke: Sie machen immer genau das Gegenteil von dem, was demographisch nötig wäre. Anstelle junge Familien zu fördern und insbesondere jungen Müttern zu ermöglichen, zu Hause bei den Kindern zu bleiben und auf dieser Basis dann ein zweites, drittes oder viertes Kind zu bekommen, zwingen sie auch noch die letzte Frau durch Streichung der Familien-Privilegien vollzeit an die Supermarktkasse, ins Callcenter oder ins Büro. Und natürlich geht es am Ende nur darum, weitere Migrationsströme zu rechtfertigen.

Please pray for a friend of mine sick with COPD who is in her end of life because she has refused a lung transplant and now in hospice care at home. Her name is Corinna. Thank you. 🙏

@cremieuxrecueil We need stories like this for other rare diseases and there are so many. We need cures. We need Pharma plus research and AI to come together to divide disease modifying drugs. There is such a huge unmet need and millions suffering.
