Meteora is a monastery complex in Kalabaka, Greece, perched on rock pillars, once accessible only by frayed ropes. The name Meteora means “suspended in the air” or “suspended rocks” and it is appropriate. Wind, water, and the harsh temperatures have carved out the series of gigantic sandstone pillars on which these buildings were constructed, some of them hundreds of meters high. To gain access to the monasteries one originally had to climb a series of ladders tied together or be dragged up via a large net. According to the monks the ropes up to Meteora were only replaced “when the Lord let them break.” Today steps have been carved into the rock and a bridge built from a nearby plateau. 📸: Photo by Vaggelis Vlahos.

New Technique Could Reveal Immunotherapy Targets

Researchers at Stanford Medicine have developed a new way to determine targets for cancer treatments based on a patient’s immune system. The team used years of structural and protein engineering studies to better understand how the immune system “sees” antigens. Based on this knowledge, they developed a technique to identify them. 

The technique could serve to identify potential antigens relevant to other immunotherapies, such as those that combat autoimmune or infectious diseases.

The whole foundation of immunotherapy depends on immune cells recognizing specific antigens on tumor cells. That’s the basis of the actual killing event — where the rubber hits the road,” said Christopher Garcia, PhD, professor of molecular and cellular physiology and of structural biology. “But currently we know very few tumor antigens, and there’s just been no good way of discovering them.” Here, he said, is where he sees potential for a new biochemical screen to expedite the identification process.

my mind is a palace with the walls of a fortress and the tenderness of a garden it has thoughts that hold the moon in high regard and sings songs that smell of synesthesia. in this dream you are a train heading straight towards me with no regard for how I hold the moon and how I tend to my garden and how I fortified my mind. ______________ words and art by @james.r.eads.art motion by @theglitch.og this is one of five prints that will be a part of a series dropping at the top of 2018. more info coming soon.

Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
