New @INSSIsrael #polling shows #Israelis are split on #recognizing #Somaliland: most see no #security impact or a positive one, but sharp divides emerge b/t #Jewish & #Arab communities & across political camps.

Is #Recognizing #Somaliland illegal under #InternationalLaw? Legal scholar @EranSthoeger examines whether #RecognizingSomaliland violates international law, #TerritorialIntegrity, or @un #Principles—and why it may be lawful.

#Recognizing #Somaliland won’t trigger war—it may prevent one. Appeasing #SomaliIrredentists today risks a far broader regional conflict tomorrow, writes @mrubin1971.

Within tumors in the human body, there are #immune #cells ( #macrophages ) capable of fighting cancer,
but they have been unable to perform their roles properly due to suppression by the tumor.

KAIST researchers have overcome this limitation by developing a new therapeutic approach that directly ⚠️converts immune cells inside tumors into anticancer cell therapies.

KAIST President Kwang Hyung Lee announced on the 30th that a research team led by Professor Ji-Ho Park of the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering has developed a therapy in which,
when a drug is injected directly into a tumor, macrophages already present in the body absorb it, produce CAR
(a #cancer-#recognizing device) proteins on their own...
and are converted into anticancer immune cells known as "#CAR-#macrophages."

❌Solid tumors—such as gastric, lung, and liver cancers—grow as dense masses, making it difficult for immune cells to infiltrate tumors or maintain their function.

As a result, the effectiveness of existing immune cell therapies has been limited.

✅ CAR-macrophages,
which have recently attracted attention as a next-generation immunotherapy,
have the advantage of directly engulfing cancer cells while simultaneously activating surrounding immune cells to amplify anticancer responses.

⛔️However, conventional CAR-macrophage therapies require immune cells to be extracted from a patient's blood, followed by cell culture and genetic modification.

This process is time-consuming, costly, and has limited feasibility for
real-world patient applications.

To address this challenge, the research team focused on "#tumor-#associated #macrophages" that are already accumulated around tumors.

⭐️They developed a strategy to directly reprogram immune cells in the body by loading lipid nanoparticles
—designed to be readily absorbed by macrophages
—with both mRNA encoding
cancer-recognition information
and an immunostimulant that activates immune responses.

In other words, in this study,
CAR-macrophages were created by
👉"directly converting the body's own macrophages into anticancer cell therapies inside the body."

#Israel broke the taboo by #Recognizing #Somaliland. @mrubin1971 explains why #India should seize the moment, counter #China, & secure its strategic future in the #HornOfAfrica.

@realDonaldTrump says he won’t follow #Israel in #Recognizing #Somaliland — for now. “Everything is under study,” the president said, signaling hesitation despite pressure from @netanyahu & some #MAGA-aligned #Republican #lawmakers.

#Blackandwhitethinking is hard to overcome but it can be done. The first step is #learning to recognize it for it is as well as to accept that our #limitations aren't what define us. Not everyone hates you. Why is that? They know a different version of you. First #recognizing our #patterns we can then see ourselves from different angles, too. We can then try to treat ourselves like a #friend would even if we feel we don't deserve it because we're observing from an outside #perspective.

#Recognizing #Somaliland is a swift, impactful win achievable via executive decision within presidential authority. As argued in this article by @haadka, it aligns with a focus on clear narratives & offers stability to the #HornOfAfrica. #ForeignPolicy

#Recognizing #Somaliland & cutting aid to #Somalia could weaken #AlShabaab & promote regional #Stability, argues @mrubin1971. Somaliland's self-sufficiency should serve as a model for Somalia. Somalia's corruption fuels the terror group. Read more in his latest article.
