Cool, can’t wait to never hear about this again, or have access to it.
I get it, but we actually have made substantial progress over the last several decades in numerous medical fields. Look at the long term improvement in cancer outcomes. Every time a new treatment comes out, there are always people saying that only the rich will ever be able to afford it. And yet, in the long term, they’re wrong every time.
Researchers at Stanford Medicine report that blocking a protein linked to aging can restore cartilage that naturally wears away in the knees of older mice.
In mice.
That puts a damper but it’s still an exciting prospect
I’ll take two, please.
cells? cartilage doesn’t have cells.
That’s more interesting that a lifting. But I could do the same by doing slow stretch and avoid alcohol. But if someday a doctor tells me to slow down on the cheese I’ll remember that solution.
I work with hundreds of knee replacement patients a year. Stretching and teetotaling isn’t necessarily going to prevent knee cartilage from diminishing. It’s certainly healthy, and will benefit multiple aspects of your life and well-being, but you give it way too much credit in this instance.
