Doctors in China have used lab-grown insulin-producing cells to treat a woman with type 1 diabetes. The cells were made from her own tissue, reprogrammed into stem cells, and then grown into tiny clusters that release insulin. A year after the transplant, her blood sugar remains normal without medication. It’s the first time in history that a person with type 1 diabetes has been freed from insulin injections using cells made from their own body. https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(24)01022-5?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

It’s November. I need to make sure I can at least get through the last grueling months of the year. I have a decent buffer to hold me at least for a week or two but bills still need to get paid and I still need to eat.
That’s pretty much it, unless something pops up.
The links are below, you can help me or boost to folks who can. just help a disabled boy get by
(I’m gonna have to change my stuff soon, as my move has been put on hold for about a year bc of landlord hand wringing)

Google cancels plans to require Android application certification outside of the Play Store
Only a few months ago, Google announced it was going to require that all Android applications - even those installed outside of the Play Store - had to be verified. This led to a massive backlash, and it seems our protests and complaints have had effect:
