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.
Probably worth adding “in mice” to the title
Mice are really living in a golden age. They have never been so healthy.
Well they did pay for it.
The only downside is the never ending genocide at the hands of scientists
Is it still genocide if the ones killing are also reproducing them?
It’s kinda worse. Imagine if aliens came here and not just killed us all, but bred us only to be experimented on and then horribly dying with less than 1% living a bit longer and maybe experience some odd things the others didn’t. Like a factory where the first machine is making us have children before we get killed then doing the same for our kids ad infinitum.5
The mice need a floatilla and a few celebrities to turn on the red carpet and go “Yeah but what about the genocide of mice? – Chekmate, deuces.”
Did they test sildenafil on mice
And simultaneously unhealthy (otherwise how are we"curing" them)
Uhhh you do know what happens to them at the end of the experiment right?
They turn into a soup-like homogenate. As is natural in the life cycle of a lab mouse.
And if they weren’t euthanized they would almost certainly die of horrible horrible cancerous tumors. Not because of anything the labs do, but because it’s a crime against nature for a mouse to live past maybe 2 years.
Now we only need a drug to turn humans into mice and back.
Cindarellazine.
And human tissues, and it’s been shown to be safe in phase I trials.
So saying “in mice” undersells where they are at.
The language I see is regeneration in mice, less breakdown in humans
Yeah looks like poster either didn’t read the article or just didn’t read it sufficiently but decided to be reactionary anyways.
They started with mice. As does all experiments.
Did you only read half way through before reaction posting?
Weird.
