Scientists discovered the source of multiple sclerosis to be the mononucleosis family of viruses.
Do you have a source for that? As I have close friends affected by MS I’d be really interested in reading a paper about it and sharing it with them.
From my initial searches I can’t seem to find anything else than this being a proposed theory among others.
Edit: I’ve found this article https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/study-suggests-epstein-barr-virus-may-cause-multiple-sclerosis suggesting it’s at least one of the factor but not the source of it.
Is there a non youtube source? It’s not in the description.
This seems so out of left field that I wouldn’t have believed it save for me actually looking it up myself
I mean that does prove it fits the OP well, doesn’t it?
Going to need you to actually link a source for that because I don’t know if your bullshitting or not
JWST’s observations seem to have made “the crisis in cosmology” worse. i.e two of the most well known proxies for the expansion rate of the universe are diverging from one another: https://youtu.be/hps-HfpL1vc?si=DOEv2DWQ6vya6NI6
And the followup: https://youtu.be/-kTe0xRAU1w?si=wVZrva1mQYUeTS-A
Lol, I read “cosmetology” instead of “cosmology” and for a second was thinking there was some sort of cosmetic student crisis happening.

The begginings of the cures for human blindness
New space station was launched and has people living there.
I discovered that follistatin gen therapy is available to the general public (for $25.000). Basically you can have a body builder body for $25.000.
Great, we’re gonna have re-incombinate dna juicers. This will go well.
That’s very interesting, I did a Google search for it but couldn’t find much discussion around $25,000 therapy sessions, do you know more that you could share?
Don’t fucking tell me that. Prions scare the shit out of me and so does dementia. It’s like now they are evil super friends.
For software engineers; you can make an executable that runs ANYWHERE. Same file, executes on windows and on Linux and on mac, x86, arm doesn’t matter.
Seems OP is Vsauce2 preparing a new mindblowm
We can revert normal human bloodcells into stem cells and then into specialized cells like neurons. It was an incredible breakthrough several years ago that nobody seems to know. There’s been recent developments too
I only found out about it when I was talking to Hon (the lead on this project), and asked him where he got the neurons for playing pong, and he said “I got them from myself”.
Do you have a link for the paper that describes the process for converting blood into stem cells? Curious how they went about it because making red blood cells into stem cells would be hard since they have no nucleus and no DNA. I googled but couldn’t find anything about how they do it.
Fair warning, I was only taking Hon’s word for it in my original comment.
That said, the magic term that will get you a flood of journal articles is “induced pluripotent stem cells ( iPSCs)” and this article a good overview/context to the work.
I’ll edit my comment to include the link
Thanks, that looks legit, especially considering they got a Nobel for the process. Red blood cells wouldn’t work though, no genetic material to tell the cell what to do. Skin cells sure but deeper layers before they ditch their nucleus. The bottom layer of your epidermis is already made of stem cells that continuously produce new keratinocytes (skin cells). That’d make sense as a starting point for what they did. I’ve been in medicine for seven years and there have been all kinds of crazy claims made but researchers so I’m always skeptical.

I found some lint in my belly button. Nobody’s given it much attention at all.
More after the weather - how’s it looking this weekend Todd?
