Reply to comment by PhilosophusFuturum in Any hope for future therapies on Neural Regeneration/Brain Injury Repair? by 94746382926

That's good to hear but also kind of a bummer. But it's to be expected though I guess. Shit ain't easy and even two or 3 decades would be a crazy achievement.

Personally I'm hoping ISRIB which is being licensed to Calico will work and be a nice stopgap measure if not a complete cure. Seems very promising although it's still in animal trials as far as I know.

Don’t get your hopes up about animal trials. Only about 3% of medicines go from passing animal trials to doctor’s desktop. And that’s probably a high number.

I do believe that technological process is indeed accelerating quite a lot. We need to reform our institutions to be able to integrate progress into society. If we do that with our medical institutions we could see actual cures for so many disorders released way sooner.

Yeah ik translation rates are pretty low. Didn't realize it was that low though lol.

Now that I think about it ISRIB may be in phase 1 now but not sure how that's going.
