I've been sad lately, watching the creaky old mice shuffling around my yard, so it's nice that there's something coming down the pipe to help them regain mobility.
They need to redeem themselves because Stanford also gave us pedo parasite Peter Thiel
I think a part of getting older is just watching medical science get better as the world gets shittier and realising the two cancel each other out so a natural death is still the preferred option. This is probably how people felt off the back of a world war, the depression, and then in the middle of another world war, someone's like,
"Check out penicillin! I accidentally discovered it like a decade ago."
"Nah, I'm good, thanks."
Yeah my dad was discussing MAID (medically assisted death) recently, he is in his late 70s.
He lost his heel in a motorcycle accident in the 1970s and they butchered up his right inner thing taking a chunk out and putting it on his foot. So now both his legs are in constant pain and he spends most of his day high as a kite to deal with the pain. He can barely walk anymore. He got through cancer a few years back which made matters worse and he lost his sense of taste so he gets to be in pain all day and not taste anything enjoyable.
Nothing medical is going to improve his life drastically so if MAID is what he wants then I will support him.
man all the shit that works on mice
we must have made super jacked non-aging bio mice by now
seriously though hope this transfers, shitty joints just suck, no fun at all - signed an algae oil drinker
This drug has already gone through Phase 1 human trials for a separate condition.
Phase 1 trials only test safety in healthy adults, but this drug passed. (Still awaiting the paper on the trial)
The delivery method was a once a day pill.
Some of us already do bro.. just the other day I told off a fella “never speak to me or my super jacked non-aging bio mouse again”
Right? After a lifetime of walking, I'm gonna need some work soon -- feet, mainly. Please let this get to an applicable fix before it's too late!
Oh shit this is awesome. I’ve got some stuff that’s wrong with my knees, and this would be fantastic.
My wife recently had her knee replaced. After seeing her recovery, hopefully this is available before I need mine done. Otherwise, it's gonna have to hurt like hell non stop before I consider getting mine done.
There is hope for my hands and wrists, maybe!
Semaglutides and other weight loss drugs will hopefully make this treatment less needed in the future. I hope this somehow gets funding, testing, and approval before then to help all the folks with existing damage.
Too bad insurance in the US doesn't cover them for weight loss.
It will in 2032 when the cheap stuff is allowed here.
Arthritis causes bone damage too. So. Idk how it's going to regrow bone joints by repairing cartilage but I'm not a medical doctor.
I realize bone can repair itself but there are limits.
Doesn't bone damage start after cartilage is gone?
God damn no one here can let anything just be good
