Pushing the accelerator and the brake at the same time is rarely a good idea. But researchers are using this approach to treat leukemia. The first study in mice shows very promising results.

More bullshit about mice. Dude, I'm working on a brand new type of propulsion system on my desk right now. One based on paper.... Headline : "New paper spaceship to go where no man has gone before".

Give us something available at target for $5.99.

My unpaid interns keep burning out from starvation and overwork. I wonder if we can do the same to cancer cells?

Just hope cancer doesn't discover Onlyfans or it will be able to survive grad school.
