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.

    Mice are really living in a golden age. They have never been so healthy.

      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?

        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.”

        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.
