Chinese Scientists Just Reversed Aging With 'Super' Stem Cells

Excerpt:
"Key Points:

"Super Stem Cells" boosted memory in monkeys and offered protection against neurodegeneration.
They halted age-related bone loss and restored vitality in more than half of the 61 tissues examined.
The therapy also cut back harmful inflammation and reduced the burden of senescent cells — the aged, non-dividing cells that drive aging throughout the body.
In a discovery that may have profound impacts on aging, scientists in Beijing have taken a dramatic step toward what once seemed impossible: making old animals biologically young again. The study was published last month in the journal Cell."

    ...and just in time for this summer's Frankenstein movie. Coincidence?

    I haven’t researched this, so I don’t know whether or not it’s a good thing. I know for myself, I’m going to expire on my natural timeline. I don’t think I really want to walk down the path the world is taking.

    I believe the point was that they found a way to make normal cells "convert" to super stem cells. (but it could have been NORMAL stem cells).

    In general, for human use, yourself, friends and relatives could donate.

    For the "owner class" above us. This is the only reason they keep us alive. (My sicker version includes that it required some of the mRNA stuff to make work, so they had to kill off any "herd" members that could not handle that technology first. Either that, or haven taken mRNA it prevents it from working. LMAO)

    The same kind of genetic engineering that brought us COVID. Any new technology can be used for good or ill.

    My only question at this point is where did the super stem cells to make this possible come from?

    There has been talk about doing this for about 10 years. Congratulations to those who made it work!
