Scientists identify fructose as a surprise driver of cancer spread.
A new study from The Wistar Institute has uncovered an unexpected link between fructose—a common dietary sugar—and the spread of an aggressive form of ovarian cancer. Published in Nature Aging, the study found that cancer cells not killed by chemotherapy send signals to neighboring tumor cells, helping them become more capable of spreading. The researchers identified fructose as a key messenger in this process, revealing a previously unrecognized way that treatment-surviving cancer cells may promote the spread of cancer. The researchers are also looking into how this mechanism might extend beyond ovarian cancer. "We think other cancers that spread within the torso—pancreatic, colon, liver—could behave similarly. We can't call it universal yet, but we think the effects are not just limited to ovarian cancer," said Aird.Paper here.
Also, a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet can curb glioblastoma growth. It's not going to cure the condition, but every little but helps.

Privacy Thing. This project looks to defeat browser fingerprinting. I wondered when someone knowledgeable would take this on. Looks difficult, but he has a MVP that you can download. It may breaking things, but maybe not. Give it a spin.

People are complaining about the homeless shelter in NW Portland. I imagine that what happens in these shelters, is like what they're doing in the harm reduction California shelters. This is why you don't want shelters to be built in your neighborhood.
