Spectrum Rebrands Cox Footprint After Charter Acquisition

Charter Communications’ Spectrum has fully replaced the Cox cable TV brand in former Cox markets in a rollout dubbed Spectrum Day, expanding Spectrum service to more than 11 million homes and businesses and to over 70 million in 45 states. The $34.5 billion merger positions Spectrum as a leading internet and video provider with multi-gig fiber; it offers new packages including Internet without data caps, Spectrum Mobile (one year of mobile service for eligible Internet customers) and a savings guarantee. Cox customer-service jobs are moving to U.S.-based centers, with 24/7 support and same-day technician dispatch promised; the corporate entity will eventually be renamed Cox Communications, while the consumer-facing brand remains Spectrum on products and billing. Integration work will continue in the coming months.

Charter’s acquisition brings Cox under the Spectrum banner with an auto-transition by mid-September; existing Cox accounts and pricing stay the same unless customers switch plans, and promotions remain. Spectrum adds value with free streaming apps (Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Paramount+), a first year of Spectrum Mobile for eligible Cox Internet customers, and a Savings Guarantee for bundling Internet and Mobile.

Unveiling the Secrets of Aspirin's Power.

New research has revealed important information about how aspirin works, shedding light on its mechanism of action and cellular targets. Aspirin inhibits the cyclooxygenase enzyme (COX), which creates messenger molecules that are crucial in the inflammatory response. The study found that aspirin controls transcription factors required for cytokine expression during inflammation while also influencing many other inflammatory proteins and noncoding RNAs that are critically linked to inflammation and immune response. Aspirin also slows the breakdown of the amino acid tryptophan into its metabolite kynurenine by inhibiting associated enzymes called indoleamine dioxygenases, or IDOs. The researchers predict that COX inhibitors might also be useful as drugs for immunotherapy.

They also showed that aspirin slows the breakdown of the amino acid tryptophan into its metabolite kynurenine by inhibiting associated enzymes called indoleamine dioxygenases, or IDOs. Aspirin's potential interplay between COX and IDO1 during inflammation suggests that COX inhibitors might also be useful as drugs for immunotherapy.
