I remember when I was a senior in high school back in the late 90s, my biology teacher mused one day that ours might be the first generation to not die of old age. I don't know if I'm anywhere near as optimistic now as he was then, but it is incredibly exciting to think about. There have been a slew of discoveries over the past 20 years that have been building towards this, and it's all been very fascinating. No idea if this is the grail or not, but it certainly seems like an important piece of the puzzle.

This is just epic news. Well done all the scientists for making this happen. :)

[–] teslasdisciple@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Finally some good fucking news.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (14 children)

This and then the new about regrowing teeth. Its a very exciting time in medicine.

I'm glad to hear that stuff like this is still going on. Nice!

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.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She's still got hips and shoulders too I hope.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

They can rebuild her. They have the technology

Americans, we get it, you have no healthcare system worth the name. Stop assuming nobody else worldwide can get the meds either.

[–] orioler25@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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'.

[–] CybranM@feddit.nu 1 points 2 months ago

Maybe orioler25 will figure out that there's more to the world than only the US and EU :D

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

[–] plyth@feddit.org -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)
[–] plyth@feddit.org -1 points 2 months ago

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.

Ready for someone to tell me why this unfortunately won't work / become mainstream

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Well, this same drug (working name MF-300) is a PDGH-15 inhibitor and has already been through phase 1 human trials for a separate condition.

Because PDGH-15 also causes age related muscle weakness.

Now, PDGH-15 also plays a role in cancer prevention, and there may be a few other less obvious functions.

I don't know if the results of the phase 1 trials have been published yet, but it's been a while since I checked.

I've been hearing about MF-300 for a little under a year, and with these same claims about restoring cartilage.

Probably worth adding "in mice" to the title

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Mice are really living in a golden age. They have never been so healthy.

The only downside is the never ending genocide at the hands of scientists

[–] Phantaloons@piefed.zip 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The mice need a floatilla and a few celebrities to turn on the red carpet and go "Yeah but what about the genocide of mice? -- Chekmate, deuces."

[–] Aatube@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

the very purpose of the floatillas is to get the mice out of the war-torn area to safety

This is not the xkcd I thought you were going to use

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Which one did you have in mind?

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] kamen@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So "xkcd" is now a genericised noun for any comic? Also, is this xerox a Canon?

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are you really that offended I linked to a relevant comic that wasn't xkcd?

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I take it you didn't read the conversation to get the markers about the topic before posting that.

Lots of reading comprehension problems in these science posts

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Protip, being abrasive makes people not want to talk to you.

And human tissues, and it's been shown to be safe in phase I trials.

So saying "in mice" undersells where they are at.

They started with mice. As does all experiments.

Did you only read half way through before reaction posting?

Weird.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

it's weird to comment "weird" on everything

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

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.
