This and then the new about regrowing teeth. Its a very exciting time in medicine.
Probably worth adding “in mice” to the title
Mice are really living in a golden age. They have never been so healthy.
Well they did pay for it.
Now we only need a drug to turn humans into mice and back.
They started with mice. As does all experiments.
Did you only read half way through before reaction posting?
Weird.
it’s weird to comment “weird” on everything
Yes it would be. Good thing that’s not happening. How’s the spread of the misinformation? I see I’m hitting a few nerves.
GOOD.
Ready for someone to tell me why this unfortunately won’t work / become mainstream
Money, usually. Or cancer. God i sound depressing 😄
Americans, we get it, you have no healthcare system worth the name. Stop assuming nobody else worldwide can get the meds either.
Exactly. Functional public health systems will assess patient outcomes and the expenditure in money and resources to determine what treatments get approved.
The odds are pretty good that - if this works out - this will be on the list of approved treatments straight away. Surgery is an expensive and high-load pathway for public health systems. A non-surgical treatment that gives good outcomes is such a win-win for both patients and public health systems that it almost doesn’t matter how much it costs.
Sorry, is this not meant to sound like you’re a Eurocentrist douchebag? Medical care and resources are already not distributed proportionately throughout the world exactly because a small number of nations benefit from a brutally extractive colonial system that requires the dehumanization of other groups to exist.
The US doesn’t have a fucking healthcare system because it is a settler-colonial, imperialist military power that holds up the capitalist system that Europeans are such proud benefactors of. They violently enforce a system that inflicts as much precarity and vulnerability as possible on its people because it depends on preventing as many unprivileged people as possible from gaining enough resources to muster an effective challenge to its power within the metropole while maintaining its legitimacy to its more privileged working classes.
So, what the fuck are you bitching about? Americans saying that people won’t be able to afford it? They’re correct, most people will not have access to it so that fucks like you can thanks to the US guarding the loot. Fuck’s sake with you people.
Edit: Before any Euros try to bitch and whine about how unfair it is that you’re still colonizers, I do not care. I don’t fucking care. We are not going to do this thing where you can bitch about the US and pretend like you aren’t world destroyers for the same exact fucking reason it is. If you are not critical of how many EU and European settler nations have the wealth to sustain a healthcare system and quality of life that makes access to medicine an entitlement instead of a privilege, you’re not a serious person.
I’m Asian. My country was colonised by Europeans till half a century ago.
Keep going, this is funny. We’ve gone from ‘America is the only nation on earth’ to ‘oh yeah, Europe exists too’.
I’m Eastern European, my country was exploited by USSR until less than 40 years ago. My bad for getting excited about the prospect of being able to walk in old age, it’s all my fault for -checks notes- joining a freedom of trade and movement organisation
You imperialist coloniser superpower douchebag!
my country was exploited by USSR
Do you have a source for that? The inefficiencies of Communism and the lack of cheap third world resources is not the same as being colonised or post-colonised like a third world country.
Not necessarily what you’re looking for, but provides some interesting context for others
Why not? It shows that the USSR was doing the opposite.
However, especially by the end, the USSR was effectively paying to keep satellites afloat.
The first comment mentions as exploitation the dismantled production lines from East Germany. Counting war reparations as exploitation is not a honest argument.
The author shifts the tone latet-on.
It doesn’t necessarily mean it was a benefit for the satellites either, though. There’s a case to be made it was mutually detrimental to both parties.
I’m not entering the exploitation olympics here, feel free to disregard my argument if Eastern Europe doesn’t clear the suffering threshold in your book.
Maybe orioler25 will figure out that there’s more to the world than only the US and EU :D
Doubtful
Reread the comment and tell yourself that a criticism of EuroAmerican global imperialism is without consideration of colonized peoples. This history happened, sorry it compromises whatever power fantasy you have.
Reread the comment.
Australian here
Fuck off with your whining
You idiots did this to yourselves, ironically as a collective, because of your worship of the individual over society
Suck it, yank.
Says the guy that just let the trojan horse of age controls behind the walls of their liberal democracy. Get off your high horse mate, it’s time for your colonoscopy to prove you can use the internet so they can craft your social score off of all your information on half baked palantir ai models. Oi oi oi!
Not USAmerican. I’m willing to bet your colonizing ass doesn’t even know about Australia, look up Patrick Wolfe.
I would like to order one new left knee cartilage please!
Wow, this is really exciting. I guess it’ll take years more research before we’ll know if this can benefit humans, but if they can replicate the results with humans then it could potentially prevent chronic pain and mobility issues in millions of people.
Hopefully not just humans. Many dogs for example suffer from the very same issues when they get older.
it’s always seemed weird to me that aging takes 20 years in dogs but 80 years in humans. i mean, if it’s a physical hardware failure, then you would expect it to be independent of age and only dependent on past physical load.
Not a scientist, but from what I know it’s all linked and proportional to a species’ lifespan, so dogs are growing up faster, but also aging faster than humans in general. If a human reaches sexual maturity at 15, a dog does so at 1 or 2.
Take a drug to regrow cartilage and get w vaccine for the cancer it allows.
With enough science, anything is possible.
… potentially prevent chronic pain and mobility issues in
millions oftens of ultrarich people.FTFY
I’m in this thumbnail and I want that right now.
This is just epic news. Well done all the scientists for making this happen. :)
i have femoral head necrosis, though so technically not arthritis but that is absolutely great news for everything else
Just in time for me to get old!
This would be amazing for my wife. I mean I guess it would have been amazing if she still had her original knee. Maybe it’ll be amazing for the other knee one day.
She’s still got hips and shoulders too I hope.
They can rebuild her. They have the technology
Does she ever.
It inhibits the development of osteoarthritis following knee replacement too, so it might benefit both.
🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎉🎊🎊
Good news.
Statically, I’ll probably need this type of therapy within the next 10-15 years. I hope it’s ready for general clinical use by then.
Amazing!
Wrong end of the stick, as usual
