Thank you for illustrating my point.

Imagine being this willfully ignorant and taking such pride in it that you post for all the world to see.

"Bout fucking time you got here!" - that bird

Honestly that probably doesn't even crack the top 10 list of crazy things they believe.

>Cellular repopulation has been used for years, a process that injects healthy liver cells into the patient’s damaged organ through a portal vein where they adhere themselves to the existing cellular scaffolding and grow into new, functional liver tissue.

>Creating an immediately available and inexhaustible supply of functioning liver cells from autologous tissue would allow early intervention in patients with hepatic failure and would allow liver cells to be infused over a longer period of time,” the 2016 study’s authors note. “Combined with recent advances in genome-editing technology, such liver cells could be used widely to treat devastating liver-based inborn errors of metabolism and to eliminate the need for a life-long regimen of immunosuppressive drugs and their complications.” The downside to this technique is the pace at which the donor cells proliferate, making it a poor tool against acute liver failure.

>Extracellular Vesicle-based therapies, on the other hand, leverage the body’s intracellular communications pathways to deliver drugs with, “high bioavailability, exceptional biocompatibility, and low immunogenicity,” according to 2020’s Extracellular Vesicle-Based Therapeutics: Preclinical and Clinical Investigations. “They provide a means for intercellular communication and the transmission of bioactive compounds to targeted tissues, cells, and organs” including “fibroblasts, neuronal cells, macrophages, and even cancer cells.”

>EVs are the postal letters that cells send one another. They come in a variety of sizes from 30 to 1000 nm and have exterior membranes studded with multiple adhesive proteins that grant them entry into any number of different types of cells. Exploiting the biological equivalent to a janitor’s key ring, researchers have begun tucking therapeutic nanoparticles into EVs and using them to discreetly inject treatments into the targeted cells. However, these treatments are still in the experimental stages and are most effective against acute liver failure and inborn metabolic diseases rather than end-stage liver failure.

Where do you think those pet stores are getting their pets. hint it is those puppy mills.

>When computers go wrong, we tend to assume it's just some software hiccup, a bit of bad programming. But ionising radiation, including rays of protons blasted towards us by the sun, can also be the cause. These incidents, called single-event upsets, are rare and it can be impossible to be sure that cosmic rays were involved in a specific malfunction because they leave no trace behind them.

>And yet they have been singled out as the possible culprits behind numerous extraordinary cases of computer failure. From a vote-counting machine that added thousands of non-existent votes to a candidate's tally, to a commercial airliner that suddenly dropped hundreds of feet mid-flight, injuring dozens of passengers.

>As human society only becomes more dependent on digital technology, it's worth asking how big a risk cosmic rays pose to our way of life. Not least because, with the continuing miniaturisation of microchip technology, the charge required to corrupt data is getting smaller all the time, meaning it is actually getting easier for cosmic rays to have this effect.

Depression is an all-too-common psychiatric condition that can profoundly affect a person’s well-being. While there is a huge range of medications available to treat depression, many people don’t respond to the first or even second medications they are prescribed. As a result, doctors must often take a trial-and-error approach, meaning it could take months or even years to find an effective medication.

In the search for better approach, some researchers are exploring the use of machine learning to predict which patients will respond to a specific antidepressant medication. In a study published 12 September in IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, one team describes a machine-learning algorithm that analyzes the electrical activity of people’s brains and could predict response to the antidepressant Sertraline with 83.7 percent accuracy.

So if I eat enough garlic mashed potatoes I’ll live forever right?

Amphotericin B deoxycholate, a polyene antibiotic, was the first antimycotic agent introduced in 1958 to treat systemic mycoses..

I grew up on a family farm so I have smelled a lot of bad things... rotting potatoes are easily in the top three. My sister lost one in her kitchen once and when I found it it was mostly liquid.

>Most therapeutic antibiotics actually come from soil microbes, so this discovery broadens the search for new compounds to plant-based microorganisms.

>“We have to look more expansively across much more of the microbial populations available to us,” said Dr. Rita Monson a microbiologist at the University of Cambridge and one of the study’s authors.

Yes. Literally how science works. It debunks stuff that people have "known to be true" all the time. Some times it confirms them. Until science examines them they are just untested observations.

Nobody knows you are a dog on the internet.

The control group was a stuffed animal so...

“If patients with deficits in motivation, attention, and socioemotional functioning show higher emotional involvement in activities connected to a dog, then such activities could increase the chance of learning and of achieving therapeutic aims,” she said.

This is what happens when Republicans are allowed to defund public education.

I seriously hope you dropped this "/s"

>In July, an HIV-positive man became the first volunteer in a clinical trial aimed at using Crispr gene editing to snip the AIDS-causing virus out of his cells. For an hour, he was hooked up to an IV bag that pumped the experimental treatment directly into his bloodstream. The one-time infusion is designed to carry the gene-editing tools to the man’s infected cells to clear the virus.

>Later this month, the volunteer will stop taking the antiretroviral drugs he’s been on to keep the virus at undetectable levels. Then, investigators will wait 12 weeks to see if the virus rebounds. If not, they’ll consider the experiment a success. “What we’re trying to do is return the cell to a near-normal state,” says Daniel Dornbusch, CEO of Excision BioTherapeutics, the San Francisco-based biotech company that’s running the trial.

Ah good catch as it wasn't mentioned in the article. Link to the gofundme page.

Clearly they need to keep the other half to take care of their new kitty! /s

I don't think you are reading the same article... nowhere do they mention 50k or that only half goes to the Humane Society.

> As of noon Monday, the couple raised over $20,000.

No no, we are not stuck in 1953, we are being drug back to it by the Regressives and their illigitamate Supreme Court.
