Miriam González stated that Dr. Paloma Cejas's laboratory at Dana-Farber in Boston had analyzed her liver and bone metastases cell by cell using a technique called single-cell. She explained that, unlike the usual analysis of a whole biopsy, this method allows for the separate study of thousands of cells and the comparison of their active genes. According to González, the test is not usually requested in consultations and is typically conducted in research projects. Flex, a technology from 10x Genomics that can analyze tissue preserved in paraffin, was employed. She added that the study could help identify targets for a potential personalized vaccine and that the next step would be to sequence the entire exome and compare it with her healthy DNA. González thanked those who had supported her with donations, which, she said, financed the Zurich biopsy from which the analyzed bone tissue came and the shipments to Boston. She also noted that sharing her story had contributed to reaching further. #InvestigaciónMédica #Cáncer #Biopsia (translated)

Jones Manoel stated, on Teacher's Day, that the date should also serve to demand better conditions for the category, of which he is a part as a historian. He said that fewer and fewer people wanted to work in education and attributed this to overload, low salaries, what he considered excessive targets, devaluation, and threats to the safety and integrity of professionals. Manoel stated that in 2027 he would be in Congress advocating for a 30-hour work week without a salary reduction, decent working conditions, career plans, physical and mental health and safety, more public competitions, and the end of precarious contracts. He also advocated for the repeal of the New Spending Cap and all austerity policies, saying that this was fundamental for the future of education and teachers in Brazil. He stated that he wanted to make teaching again a profession desired by young people and emphasized its importance for history, national memory, and the development of the country. #Educação #Professores #DiaDosProfessores (translated)

SARA Nilsson wrote that she felt grateful to still be able to breathe after her cancer illness. She attributed a crucial role in her fight to her children and Patrik, and also thanked her colleagues, people who raised money for the drug ENHERTU, Douglas, those who prayed for her, and the surgeons who removed tumors. She wrote that the treatment had shrunk the tumors and that the fight continued, but that she was no longer afraid. Nilsson also talked about Fredrik Vikström, whom she said had helped her navigate the healthcare system. According to Nilsson, Vikström had himself been palliative in 2018 after colorectal cancer and later reached a state of NED, “No evidence of disease.” She wrote that he had researched, sought solutions, and demanded changes within the healthcare system, and that he had become involved in the same way when she discovered a tumor under her skin last year. Vikström's book “Under varje sten” was, according to Nilsson, set to release at midnight. She wrote that it chronicled his journey from palliative care to NED and contained advice on making demands and finding one's way in Swedish healthcare. The book, according to her, made no promises of miracle cures or guaranteed recovery. She also stated that there was a free cancer manual and an app on Vikström's website. #cancer #tacksamhet #livskraft (translated)

Andris Velps questioned the justification for granting Latvian citizenship outside the general naturalization procedure. He pointed out that a highly qualified specialist does not need citizenship to work in Latvia. Velps added that he has no objections to the specific scientist, but believed that everyone should obtain citizenship equally—by demonstrating loyalty and fulfilling naturalization requirements. https://t.co/OMicP9bcko #LatvijasPilsonība #Naturalizācija #Lojalitāte (translated)

Through the PCP, Sofia Lisboa considered that an activity with the economic, social, and territorial weight of tourism "requires responsibility in the use of public resources, transparency in the allocation of support, and a strategy that takes into account the interests of those who live and work in Lisbon," while António Morgado Valente from PAN emphasized that ATL "acknowledges the negative effects of tourism on housing, transport, and cleanliness, but does not set targets that allow for the assessment of the recovery of those effects." #Turismo #Lisboa #DesenvolvimentoTurístico (translated)

Marats Kasems wrote that the first instance court of Latvia has sentenced Sergejs Ņikitins, a citizen of Russia and Germany, to seven years in prison. According to Kasems, Ņikitins explained that the night vision devices and binoculars brought to Russia were intended for animal shelters, but the court did not accept this explanation. Kasems claimed that after the verdict was announced, Ņikitins accused Latvia and court officials of fascism, Nazism, and Russophobia. He also wrote that Ņikitins was comforted by Aleksandrs Giļmans and Alla Berezovska and that Ņikitins repeated allegations of hatred against Russians in Latvia, as well as appealed to the Kremlin for help in rescuing him. Kasems claimed that Ņikitins had already served a sentence in Germany for killing his wife while intoxicated and pointed out what he considered a characteristic prison tattoo of thieves on Ņikitins' finger. He asked whether Ņikitins would appeal the verdict and whether the realization that such people are not needed in Russia would come to him at the beginning or closer to the end of his sentence. #vatņiki #LatvijasTiesa #spriedumi #ņikitins #cietums #LatvijasTiesa #spriedumi #cietums (translated)

PlayStation News reported that Cyberleek claimed to have a build of GTA 6 over 200 GB and said that its size could give a rough idea of the final weight of the game. It also noted that Cyberleek presented a roadmap to publish leaks as the capitalization of its currency increased: a mini tank upon reaching 5M, a tank with 9M, a confrontation with the police with 13M, a beach massacre with 17M, a fighter jet with 21M, a train versus train with 25M, and the release of the complete build with 30M. PlayStation News added that Cyberleek's currency had barely grown in recent days and suggested that if the trend continued, the targets might not be reached and the leaks would end there. #GTA6 #Cyberleek #filtraciones (translated)

Eduardo Bolsonaro celebrated Sachsida's statement that he would not privatize Banco do Brasil, Caixa, and Petrobras. He asserted that in a scenario he described as "post-liberalism," each country had its own view on which sectors were strategic, citing JD Vance as an example. Bolsonaro said he did not advocate for statism but believed that energy and the control of sectors capable of boosting the economy and the quality of life for Brazilians should not serve interests other than public ones. For him, the discussion involved sovereignty and the ability of Brazilians to decide their own future and how to achieve their goals. #Privatização #Soberania #Economia (translated)
