Don't you guys love recycling? It's recycled plastic! /s

Showing provable results is way more difficult than it seems and these new info is only to attract investors and money. It's way more difficult than altering a buch of genes (which we still can't do in a super secure, efficient and safe way) and call it a day. Most of aging also comes from food, exercise, pollution etc..good luck removing microplastics and pfas from the body even if you're a billionaire.

Mice it's waaay easier than humans though..it's all marketing for now.

Yep..all fake buildings like the ones demolished when evergrande went bankrupt

Yep. Main issue is synthesis, cost, delivery, elimination rates and see if there is a therapeutic interval that make these molecules a viable treatment over the citotoxic effect. Plus you ideally want a lot of testing, from vitro to vivo. There is a lot to work on, but this could be an useful way to design molecules in a way faster way, then slim down to the most promising ones to test.

Oh, must have missed that! Can you provide and article or something for me to read about this?

In the next news, helium is going to finish in less than 100 years and we won't be able to do MRIs anymore lmao but we prefer wasting it in stupid baloons

With how shitty soil is becoming, how poor biodiverity there is, how pollinators are dying and how expensive fertilizers are getting, food could easily become a thing of the past in the coming decades..so don't worry.

Graphene has only a purity and price issue, nothing else.

Or they could just...change materials? IBM already build a graphene transistor. I think they could find way better materials to use which could bring higher performance with better efficiency.

UVA can penetrate the skin up to the derma which is not ideal. UVB are the ones that stop in the epidermis.

I don't really know tbh, never actually studied a lot of viruses in detail, I only know the general mechanism of the HIV one but I don't really know anything as far as clinical data goes.

Yeah np lol. I cannot stress enough that it's my personal opinion. I am a student so my knowledge and qualification is limited and estimates on treatments and such are always a bet. But I think we're taking the right steps with technlogies like genetic editing and mRNA vaccines (which are already being tested for HIV). The issue is that the virus, even if it comes in 2 main variants HIV-1 and HIV-2, shows a huge genetic variability even in the same patience; it's like having 10.000 covid variants in one person. This make targeting and treatment very difficult as you need either a "universal" target or a system that can evolve and adapt with the virus. Now you can see why it's extremely difficult to eradicate. Huge steps were made though so I am optimistic about this.

Looks like the same argument against nuclear fusion. Oh that's wrong, too.

Student in biomedical and diagnostic biotechnology here. Rough estimate I would PERSONALLY say about 5 years to have something that works. Getting it to scale both in volume and costs will be different. We are really getting closer though, that's right.
