AUGUST 3, 2023, NEW YORK - A Ludwig Cancer Research study has identified a pair of genes whose expression by a type of immune cell within tumors is predictive of outcomes for cancer patients and is linked to a vast network of gene expression programs, engaged by multiple cell types in the tumor microenvironment, that control human cancers. Researchers led by Ludwig Lausanne's Mikaël Pittet report in the current issue of Science that patients with higher expression of the gene CXCL9 in their tumor-associated macrophages had far better clinical outcomes than those with higher expression of a gene named SPP1 by the immune cells.

With the victory of his National Congress for Timorese Reconstruction (CNRT) party in the May 20 elections, and his ability to form a strong coalition with a smaller party, Timor-Leste's independence hero Xanana Gusmao is moving closer to realizing his ambition to integrate the young nation into the globally influential Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), with the strong backing of its former colonizer Indonesia. Initially, other Asean members, notably Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, were reluctant to accept a new member, as it was feared it would slow Asean's quest to establish a regional economic community.

INQUIRER.net stock image MANILA, Philippines — The farm-gate price of palay (unmilled rice) averaged P22.16 per kilogram in August, an increase of 25.8 percent from P17.61 per kg in the same period a year ago. In a report, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said all regions registered year-on-year growth rates in average farm-gate prices. On a monthly basis, the farm-gate price rose by 14.3 percent from P19.38 per kg in July.'[This is] probably correct but there would have been very little palay being harvested in August since the dry season harvest is between March to May, and then farmers start planting again when the rains come in June or July,' Federation of Free Farmers national manager Raul Montemayor said when asked to comment on the PSA data.

Much like Angadi how is dubbed the 'Okinawan doughnut,' 'Sanguwachi Guwashi (sweets of March)' should be called the 'Okinawan financier' in my opinion. This Okinawan sweet has a rectangular shape and a smooth, sweet taste just like a French madeleine. Searching for a perfect beach treat, I found this simple Okinawan recipe to try. Sanguwachi Guwashi has a close tie to the Okinawan tradition of beach picnics and, better yet, it only requires ingredients you might already have in your pantry like flour, sugar, and oil.

NEW YORK: The biggest US banks are planning to bolster reserves in a move tied to their unusual effort to shore up ailing lender First Republic Bank last month. Some of the banks that contributed the largest chunk of the US$30bil in deposits are planning to set aside about US$100mil each, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The group included JPMorgan Chase & Co, Wells Fargo & Co, Citigroup Inc and Bank of America Corp, which each put up US$5bil . Accounting rules meant to ensure banks stockpile provisions to cover potential losses for a wide range of assets are dictating the move, two of the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information.
