Fucking hell. We gotta stop dumbing shit down.

Published in Cell at https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(24)00956-5.

They loaded t-cells with extra mitochondria. This seemed to get them to better fight cancer in mice.

Really great. I hope it safely translates to humans.

You’re too late, I’m already shoving AAAs up my nose to prevent cancer.

Agreed. The original explains it in two sentences.

Also, how often do you guys charge your T cells?

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 6 points 4 days ago

Seems really great that they are not editing DNA or adding drugs that could have hard to predict side effects. (I don't fucking know though.) Just putting different types of cells near each other.

It will cause Rheumatism. $500.

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 1 points 4 days ago

Well fuck.
I don't think Rheumatism kills people, so better than cancer.
(Hearing about how Rheumatism kills people below...)

It certainly can. It won't be the official cause of death, but like cancer, it will ravage your body. If you can't keep the immune system in check, shit gets wild.

Futurology was a consistently dumbass-ed subreddit. I haven't blocked the lemmy one yet because it's a great idea if the quality can be there.

But if it's like the old one, fuck no.

Thanks for this comment!
