General / Off-Topic An early version of progenitor cells

Yeah, i guess it can do this, but also don't forget the telomere caps at the end of a chromosome with every cleavage became shorter, and although time gracious with progenitor cells, but they can still suffer some genetical damage. So i don't think the answer can be this simple, and easy for practical application.

I afraid the results of something like this can have genetical, organic, and biological "glitches". But non the less it's promising.

Edit; fast replacement and killing the "building block" cells can have negative side effect. Resolution? Do it slowly, and also to use a more refined method, than simple reactivation, is necessary. Give time the body to rebuild itself correctly. And we also don't know how an this extensive "biologically unplanned" use can affect the progenitor cells. By common sense? Without precaution, it can be a one time shot.

Yep... thats the problem in there! Our biology and genetical programming are not prepared to this kind of trick. Simply kick in the progenitor cells are just not good enough, but this method can be used.

Well the Headline is a bit Misleading on that.
If you read it right.

Its Research on Reversing some Age related Disorders coming from Failures building up in your cells.

They are also going to test if this might have a use for Age Extension.
But its not the Primary Target of the Research and nobody talks about living Forever :p

Bump! new developments, in this front anti aging and more importantly radiation damage reversing / blocking pill trials within 6 months began.
Want to reach mars or stay in space for years? :) Seems like we can do it, and this can be even better if we add the Tardigrades trick.

As always? Religion promises, and science delivers. ;)
