A new treatment that blocks an aging-related protein restored lost cartilage in old mice and helped prevent arthritis after knee injuries. Human cartilage samples showed similar signs of regeneration, raising hopes for a future drug that could repair joints instead of replacing them.
This drug can be delivered via pill. It has a range of effects in reversing age related damage.
I’m not sure if it will be kept to the rich, or given out widely to justify the removal of social security, or at least jacking up the retirement age.
They openly want to reduce the population in the US by over 100 million. It will absolutely be kept to the right kinds of people, which are the wrong kinds of people.
Maybe, but if PGE2 signaling is disrupted in non-cartilage tissues, it could promote abnormal growth or inflammation. For example, PGE2 has complex roles in cancer and fibrosis. And if the drug isn’t perfectly specific, it might inhibit other enzymes or pathways. This is because 15-PGDH is active in other tissues (e.g., liver, muscle, bone). Inhibiting it systemically might affect these tissues, though the study suggests localized joint injection could minimize this I suppose…
If the worker-slaves live longer, you don’t have to indoctrinate & capture new ones quite as often!
I’d like my partners knees to work again so they can do the things they like as they age, like riding bikes or hiking.
I’d like my partner’s knees to work again so they can do something I like. On their knees. To me.
There’s also some riding somewhere in there I suppose.
