a convergence of associative thinkers creates a powerful Hive mind

 

Think of your brain as a vast network of ideas connected to each other. These ideas can be concrete or abstract. The ideas can involve memories, emotions, and physical sensations.

 

When one node in the network is activated, say by seeing a word or image, it automatically activates its surrounding nodes, rippling outward like a pebble thrown in water. This is associative thinking.

considering vaxxx rates, how did countries with socialized medicine fare compared to partially socialized systems like in the US? not that statistics can be trusted, but I assume such countries fared worse.

In the study, the researchers experimented with four well-known proteins that regulate the expression of DNA โ€“ Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc โ€“ known collectively as "Yamanaka factors" after the man who pioneered the technique in stem cells.

 

Although this technique can be used to turn adult cells back into stem cells, the current team had previously shown it can also be used to 'partially reprogram' the cells by reverting them into a more youthful state, but not completely becoming a stem cell again.

 

If the same thing were done to enough cells in an animal's body, this could potentially make the whole organism's body clock seem youngerโ€ฆ.

"Overall, this study provides provocative hints that long-term partial reprogramming holds promise as an intervention that might restore and rejuvenate the functions of some tissues," researchers Arianna Markel and George Q. Daley from Boston Children's Hospital, who weren't involved in the study, explain in an accompanying commentary on the research.

 

"It is especially notable that partial reprogramming successfully elicits systemic transcriptomic, metabolomic, and lipidomic changes, and alters the epigenetic clock. Moreover, observing these results in a normally aging mouse model provides further evidence that this approach may be beneficial beyond disease states."

 

Although the method is likely many years away from providing a human 'fountain of youth', it's still an exciting development in anti-aging science, and one that just might help ease the pain and damage of getting old one day.

 

The research has been published in Nature Aging.
