Why do I say “pregnant people” sometimes?
Bc #AmericaHatesWomen. And I think “maybe if I can get Americans to think of anyone pregnant as an actual person & not just an incubator, then maybe they won’t stand for the eroding of reproductive freedoms?”
Oh also it’s inclusive of transmen & that’s ok.

NEW: In an unprecedented move, the NIH will soon disinvite dozens of scientists about to take positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant funding.
NIH staff were told to select others aligned with the Trump administration and told to expect placements by political appointees.

Aspirin limits 90% of cancer deaths by preventing metastasis, boosting T cell immunity, and countering platelet TXA2. PMID:40044852, Nature 2025, @Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-08626-7 #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA @geneticssociety @eshg 🧪
Aspirin prevents metastasis by limiting platelet TXA2 suppression of T cell immunity | Nature
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from primary tumours to distant organs and is the cause of 90% of cancer deaths globally1,2. Metastasizing cancer cells are uniquely vulnerable to immune attack, as they are initially deprived of the immunosuppressive microenvironment found within established tumours3. There is interest in therapeutically exploiting this immune vulnerability to prevent recurrence in patients with early cancer at risk of metastasis. Here we show that inhibitors of cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1), including aspirin, enhance immunity to cancer metastasis by releasing T cells from suppression by platelet-derived thromboxane A2 (TXA2). TXA2 acts on T cells to trigger an immunosuppressive pathway that is dependent on the guanine exchange factor ARHGEF1, suppressing T cell receptor-driven kinase signalling, proliferation and effector functions. T cell-specific conditional deletion of Arhgef1 in mice increases T cell activation at the metastatic site, provoking immune-mediated
