Tomorrow is #RareDiseaseDay! Did you know that a disease is considered rare when it affects fewer than 1 in 2,000 people? But with 7,000+ rare diseases worldwide, they collectively affect 300M+ people.

Study section I was scheduled to serve on Thursday and Friday this week, countless hours spent in preparation by me and the rest of the members, canceled today with no explanation given. Why would Putin have ordered this?

It’s an open secret among medical professionals: Many drugs maintain their ability to combat ailments well after their expiration date. One pharmacist says he sometimes takes home expired OTC medicine so he and his family can use it.

(Published 2017, but there's no expiration date for this story)
The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates
Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.

Great overview on risks and reasons for secondary malignancies post-CAR-T therapies. Contribution of the CAR itself is minimal, despite the FDA's black box warning. Great work by Sylvester's Jay Spiegel.
