A sneak peak of a complex and technically challenging... experiment that my lab developed: Super proud of PhD candidate Hannah Johnson for showcasing our Whole-gut spatial genomic analysis in #zebrafish. This video illustrates one landmark in the protocol after multiple rounds of sequential #HCR and 3D imaging in zebrafish larvae to reveal spatial expression of numerous mRNAs in the same specimen. Data from these imaging data sets are then computationally analyzed for spatial cell groups, spatially variable genes, and differentially expressed genes along 3D. We are leveraging this systems-level SGA to uncover unappreciated mechanistic insight at the cell and tissue levels into #ENS construction. Stay tuned for our work that exploits this pipeline within various mutant and perturbation conditions. Reach out if you are interested in trying this! #fruitypebblesshow more

🚨 REALITY UPDATE Humans may already have hidden regenerative... abilities. Scientists are now discovering that the body’s inability to regrow tissue may not come from missing biological machinery… but from repair systems being “switched” into scar mode instead of regeneration mode. That changes the entire question. Because for decades scientists assumed mammals simply lost regenerative capability entirely. But new research suggests the regenerative programs may still exist underneath normal healing processes. Researchers studying tissue regeneration found they could partially redirect mammalian healing away from scarring and toward structural regrowth using specific signaling pathways. In experiments, scientists regenerated: • bone • ligaments • joint structures • connective tissue inside injured mammalian tissue. The deeper shift: Human biology may contain dormant regenerative instructions that are normally suppressed. That means the future of medicine may not be: “adding artificial replacement parts”… but: reactivating biological repair programs already hidden inside the body. And this is not isolated anymore. Researchers are now uncovering regeneration-related mechanisms across: • skin healing • heart tissue • stem cell systems • cartilage repair • aging biology The line between healing and regeneration is beginning to blur. If this scales: • scar-free healing may become possible • organ repair could accelerate • regenerative medicine may fundamentally change surgery • aging research could shift dramatically • future medicine may focus on “unlocking” dormant repair pathways The deeper implication: Humans may not lack regenerative power. We may simply lack the signals that activate it fully. Question to audience: If dormant regeneration pathways already exist inside the human body… how much hidden biological capability are we still unaware of?

Stop trading time for rest. Start using light for... recovery. The biggest mistake athletes make in 2026? Thinking "recovery" only happens while you’re asleep. What I’m holding here is a Photobiomodulation (PBM) device—and the data behind it is a total game changer for anyone trying to stay on the field and out of the doctor's office. THE SCIENCE OF THE "BIO-HACK": Most recovery tools just mask pain. PBM actually repairs tissue at the mitochondrial level. Here’s the data-driven truth on how it works: 1️⃣ The Mitochondrial Battery: Red and Near-Infrared light photons are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase. This triggers a massive spike in ATP production (cellular energy), effectively "supercharging" your body’s ability to repair micro-trauma in half the time. 2️⃣ Inflammation Shutdown: PBM dissociates Nitric Oxide from your mitochondria, allowing oxygen to flood back into the tissue. Result? A 50% reduction in DOMS and faster clearance of metabolic waste. 3️⃣ The Ergogenic Edge: Running this over a non-injured muscle before a workout increases muscle workload capacity and fatigue resistance. It’s essentially a legal "biological cheat code" for endurance. THE DATA 📊: Injury Recovery: Speeds up soft tissue healing by up to 2x. Performance: Studies show a measurable increase in power output and reps to failure when used as a "pre-conditioning" tool. Safety: Non-invasive, drug-free, and now the "Gold Standard" in professional locker rooms from the NFL to Special Forces. Stop waiting for your body to heal itself slowly. Use the light. 💡 Save this for your next rehab session and share with an athlete who is tired of being sidelined.show more

As a gynecologist, one of the most frequently asked... questions is about the ''hymen''. The hymen is not a structure located deep inside the vagina. It is a thin, flexible fold of tissue situated very close to the vaginal opening, anatomically at the entrance of the vaginal canal. It is typically found about 1–2 cm inside the vaginal opening, but in many women, it is almost at the surface. Therefore, the common belief that it is located deep inside is incorrect. One of the most important points is this: The hymen is not a closed membrane. It naturally has openings that allow menstrual blood to pass. Additionally, the structure of the hymen varies from person to person. Its thickness, elasticity, and shape are not standard. In some women, it may be very thin and elastic, while in others, it may be minimal or barely noticeable. This is completely a normal anatomical variation. A common misconception is that changes in the hymen occur only due to sexual intercourse. In reality, factors such as certain physical activities or tampon use can also lead to stretching or changes in this tissue. Therefore, the hymen is not a reliable indicator of a person’s sexual history or “virginity.” In summary, the hymen is a small and variable anatomical structure. The meanings attributed to it are largely shaped by sociocultural beliefs rather than medical facts.show more

🚨 SCIENTISTS MAY HAVE FOUND A WAY TO STOP... BLINDNESS BEFORE VISION IS LOST. Researchers have developed a new laser-based treatment that gently heats the back of the eye not to destroy tissue, but to activate the eye’s own repair systems. The target is dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Around one in three people over 80 develop it, and until now there have been almost no ways to stop it early. Why this matters: Instead of waiting for vision loss and then trying to replace damaged cells, this treatment uses precisely controlled near-infrared laser pulses to raise retinal temperature by just a few degrees. That tiny heat signal triggers: • heat shock proteins • cellular repair mechanisms • autophagy (the cell’s own waste-removal process) In simple terms: the laser may help aging eye cells clean and repair themselves before permanent damage occurs. The deeper implication is enormous: Future medicine may not always work by replacing broken parts. It may work by reactivating the repair systems evolution already built into us. What if many age-related diseases, including blindness, begin when our cells simply lose the ability to clean up after themselves? Follow for more frontier medicine and future science.show more

Today I received my 4th infusion of SGF (Stem... Cell Growth Factors) at Edogawa Hospital in Tokyo, Japan. What is SGF? 🦷 SGF is derived from the dental pulp of children's naturally shed baby teeth. No stem cells are injected. Instead, the infusion contains the signaling molecules, growth factors, cytokines, and regenerative proteins that stem cells naturally produce. These biological messengers help coordinate communication between cells and are believed to support tissue repair, immune regulation, blood vessel health, and nerve regeneration. These growth factors are small enough to cross the blood brain barrier and reach the brain and nervous system directly. For someone like me with confirmed neuroinflammation, white matter atrophy, and small fiber neuropathy destroying my nerves from the inside out, the goal is remyelination. Rebuilding the insulation around my damaged nerve fibers.💯 Researchers have studied SHED (Stem Cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth) for their regenerative potential in areas such as nerve repair, neuroinflammation, tissue healing, and age-related degeneration. Some people have nicknamed therapies like this the "Fountain of Youth" because the goal is not to replace damaged tissue, but to activate the body's own repair and regeneration pathways. Whether that nickname is deserved remains to be seen, but the science behind cellular signaling and regeneration is fascinating. Japan has become a global leader in regenerative medicine and allows access to therapies that are not currently available in the United States under its regenerative medicine framework. As Patient #27 in the McCairn–Edogawa Protocol, I am grateful to have the opportunity to experience this emerging science firsthand. 🧬🦷🇯🇵 #SGF #SHED #RegenerativeMedicine #StemCellScience #Neuroinflammation #SmallFiberNeuropathy #EdogawaHospital #Tokyo #MedicalInnovationshow more

The three-body problem is a classic and notoriously difficult... question in physics and mathematics. It asks: How do three objects, such as stars, planets, or moons, move under the influence of each other’s gravity? Unlike the simpler two-body problem, which has precise and predictable analytical solutions (like the Earth orbiting the Sun in an ellipse), the three-body problem quickly becomes chaotic and unpredictable. This complexity arises because each object's motion constantly affects, and is affected by, the other two. These gravitational interactions form a tangled and unstable system. In fact, there's no general formula that can solve all three-body scenarios exactly. This was first demonstrated in the 19th century by Henri Poincaré, whose work laid the foundations for chaos theory. While exact solutions remain elusive, scientists have discovered certain special cases where the motion is stable or periodic. One well-known example is the Lagrange points, where three bodies can maintain a stable triangular configuration. However, such neat solutions are rare. Today, thanks to powerful computers, researchers can simulate three-body systems with remarkable accuracy, helping us study triple-star systems, exoplanets, and asteroid dynamics. Yet even small changes in the starting conditions can lead to dramatically different outcomes, highlighting the sensitive dependence on initial conditions that defines chaotic systems. The three-body problem is actually a specific case of the broader n-body problem, where n can be any number of interacting bodies. As n increases, the complexity and unpredictability rise even further. The three-body problem serves as a vivid example of how simple laws of nature, like Newton’s law of gravity, can produce behavior that is intricate, unexpected, and profoundly difficult to predict.show more

as a former professional skater, I can say the... technique here immediately reminds me of upper body positioning in speed skating. specifically the way the arms move across the body while the hips and torso rotate underneath them In skating that goofy motion helps manage the lateral shift of the center of mass and counter the angular momentum created by each leg it’s interesting is that the robot wasn’t explicitly taught to run this way the gait emerged through reinforcement learning as it searched for a faster, more stable and less thermally demanding way to move. yet it is not copying a speed skater It seems like two very different systems arrived at a similar solution to the same basic dynamics problem Convergent biomechanics ™ lol video is of an old competitor of mine who is currently crushing everyone in skating at the moment GUZMANshow more

It is important that the Mark Rutte is with... us in Ukraine at such a brutal moment of this war, when the Russians have once again disregarded the efforts of the American side. Today, Russia carried out a record strike in terms of the use of ballistic missiles. There were 28 cruise missiles, as well as 43 missiles of various types that approach their targets along a ballistic trajectory and can be intercepted only by Patriot systems. This means that missiles for these systems are needed and that deliveries must be prompt. I discussed this with Mark today, and I hope we will be able to implement everything we agreed on.

RULE #18 OF THE PRIMAL DIET Drink raw milkshakes.... The raw milkshake is a recipe and one of the most important items on the Primal Diet. It reinforces the body, in particular the mucous linings, which are essential to protect bodily tissues from toxin damage. It strengthens parts of the body that other foods cannot, most of the time, as it is the best combination of foods to help the body restore mucus. Mucus protects the mucous membranes in the intestines, kidney, etc. Contrary to certain beliefs, mucus is not toxic. It is part of the body and remains internally. When mucus is expelled, is during detoxification, as a vessel that contains the toxins, but it is not a toxin itself, it protects from them. Toxins can deplete the mucus lining in the body, exposing tissues and organs to damage. This manifests in heartburn, being constantly drained, and other ways. So it is important to reconstitute the mucus layers that buffer those toxins, with milkshakes. Eating raw meat, raw fat, etc., should in theory give everything the body needs to make anything it needs. However, for most people, because of limitations induced by toxicity and long-term deficiencies, it often takes the combination of foods in raw milkshakes to let the body generate the appropriate amounts of mucus. It takes a whole raw egg, raw milk, and extra raw cream (that extra fat is necessary), with a bit of unheated honey to facilitate the digestion of this complex mix. Blend them together.

💜 One Last Update! 💜 Last week when we... were in Minnesota for Clark’s 6-month follow-up for his clinical trial, of all the tests they ran, the one we were both most anxious and most eager to see results from was his brain MRI. For children with untreated Sanfilippo Type A, it’s typical to see 2–5% loss of brain volume each year, along with enlargement of the ventricles (the fluid-filled spaces in the brain). This is one of the most heartbreaking parts of the disease — watching the brain slowly lose tissue and function over time. We were so nervous that Clark’s MRI might show some loss compared to his baseline scan 6 months ago. But the results came back and… ✨ ZERO change. ✨ His brain volume and ventricle size were completely stable — no loss at all. This is such an incredible sign that the treatment may be doing exactly what it’s meant to: clearing the toxic waste from his brain cells and protecting his brain from further damage. If feel that it is SO important for us to share these results as they come because people need to be FULLY aware that these treatments that are out there WORK. These children with Sanfilippo do not need to regress and they DEFINITELY do not have to have their lives cut short. We just need the FDA to say yes. We are so close to a reality where Sanfilippo syndrome is as manageable as a disease like diabetes. P.S. Enjoy this video of our little sunshine having the best time singing!show more

Facial reconstruction of a likely 5,500-year-old man from Chiatura,... Darkveti, Georgia The “Chiatura man” is well known in anthropological literature for his massive cranial dimensions. Without soft tissue, the skull, first described by Alexandre Javakhishvili, exhibits a massive cheek breadth of 153 mm, a very large cranial width of 156 mm, and a very long cranial length of 199 mm. Most notably, it stands out among contemporaneous Caucasian crania for its overall size and massiveness, showing a closer affinity to the Caucasionic type, which is otherwise thought to have first appeared in the Caucasus during the Middle Ages. The Caucasionic type, which now dominates the Greater Caucasus region, is characterized by very large cheek width and very large cranial breadth. This Caucasionic-like morphology led some anthropologists -- most notably Malkhaz Abdushelishvili -- to describe the Chiatura man as proto-Caucasionic, using him as evidence for a much earlier presence of Caucasionic morphology in the Caucasus. Other anthropologists, such as Ilya Gokhman, questioned this interpretation, expressing doubts about the proposed dating of the individual and suggesting that he may instead belong to a period much closer to modernity. The individual is attributed to the Kura-Araxes culture, whose languages are generally associated with Northeast Caucasian speakers. The Upper Imeretian variant of the Kura-Araxes culture (to which the Chiatura man belonged), however, differs from other Kura-Araxes groups. Genetically, it was likely influenced by local Darkveti populations, while culturally it is distinguished by the presence of kurgan burials and by rich metal assemblages, such as those found in the Sachkhere kurgans, setting it apart from most other Kura-Araxes communities. Middle Bronze Age individuals from Imereti, such as the sample from Sagvarjile, can be genetically modeled as a mixture of Proto-Kartvelian-like/ancient Svan-like profile and Kura-Araxes ancestry, likely reflecting mutual interaction and admixture between Imeretian Kura-Araxes populations and local Kartvelians. The Chiatura individual also exhibits artificial cranial deformation, a practice well documented within the Kura-Araxes cultural horizon. Such practice is also observed among Kura-Araxes populations in Armenia and Dagestan. This custom may have been transmitted by Kura-Araxes groups to the Catacomb culture. Crania from Chiatura dating to Late Antiquity also display artificial cranial deformation.show more

🚨 Scientists discover wisdom teeth contain stem cells capable... of repairing the heart, brain, and bones. Wisdom teeth contain dental pulp, a soft connective tissue threaded with blood vessels and nerves. Inside that pulp lives a dense population of mesenchymal stem cells, a class of undifferentiated cells that researchers classify as among the most therapeutically valuable biological material a human body produces. These are not ordinary cells maintaining routine tissue. They are blueprint cells, capable of receiving chemical signals from damaged environments and reshaping themselves into whatever the body needs most, neurons, cardiomyocytes, osteoblasts, even hepatic cells under the right conditions. The brain operates under a brutal rule: most of its neurons do not regenerate after damage. A stroke, a traumatic injury, a neurodegenerative disease removes cells the brain cannot replace through normal biological processes. Researchers have spent decades attempting to solve this through synthetic means, engineered cell therapies, growth factor injections, gene editing approaches that cost extraordinary resources and produce inconsistent results. What dental pulp stem cells demonstrated in laboratory conditions is that they can migrate toward neural damage sites, integrate with existing tissue architecture, and begin producing neurons and glial support cells. The mechanism involves neurotrophic factor secretion, essentially the cells releasing signaling proteins that stimulate the surrounding neural environment to repair itself from within. Cardiac muscle operates under a similarly unforgiving rule. After a heart attack, the dead muscle tissue becomes fibrotic scar material. The heart compensates by making surviving muscle work harder, a process that gradually leads to enlargement, weakening, and eventual failure. Dental pulp stem cells introduced into cardiac tissue in multiple studies produced measurable reductions in scar formation and demonstrated the ability to differentiate into functional cardiomyocytes, beating in synchrony with native heart cells. Some studies recorded improved ejection fraction in animal models, the core measurement of how effectively the heart pumps blood. Bone regeneration represents the most clinically advanced application already moving toward human trials. Dental pulp stem cells express high levels of osteogenic markers and respond rapidly to bone morphogenetic proteins, the chemical messengers that trigger skeletal repair. Their application in craniofacial reconstruction, spinal fusion, and long bone defect repair is being studied across multiple institutions simultaneously. What separates these cells from other stem cell sources is the combination of accessibility and biological youth. Bone marrow aspiration requires sedation and produces significant post procedure pain. Umbilical cord blood requires planning around birth. Wisdom teeth emerge between 17 and 25, during peak cellular vitality, and come out during a procedure most people already schedule. The extraction window is permanent. Once the teeth are gone and the pulp degrades, that specific population of young, highly potent cells is irretrievable from that individual. Cryogenic preservation protocols now exist that maintain dental pulp stem cell viability for over two decades. Several countries have commercial dental stem cell banks operating with the same institutional model as cord blood banking, long term frozen storage, indexed against future therapeutic need. The science supporting the value of preservation is no longer speculative. What lags behind is public awareness and clinical infrastructure in markets where this remains obscure. The wider pattern is worth recognizing. Medicine has repeatedly discovered that profound biological tools were present in tissues it previously categorized as vestigial, unnecessary, or inconvenient. The appendix was considered evolutionary junk for over a century before researchers identified its role in gut microbiome preservation. Wisdom teeth carried the same dismissal, a developmental relic from ancestors who needed extra molars for coarse diets, relevant only in their capacity to cause orthodontic problems. The pulp inside them was never junk. It was a repair system the body built during youth and stored in one of the most protected anatomical locations, surrounded by enamel, the hardest substance the human body produces. Evolution rarely wastes that kind of architecture.show more

E11 Bio is excited to unveil PRISM technology for... mapping brain wiring with simple light microscopes. Today, brain mapping in humans and other mammals is bottlenecked by accurate neuron tracing. PRISM uses molecular ID codes and AI to help neurons trace themselves. We discovered a new cell barcoding approach exceeding comparable methods by more than 750x. This is the heart of PRISM. We integrated this capability with microscopy and AI image analysis to automatically trace neurons at high resolution and annotate them with molecular features. This is a key advance towards economically viable brain mapping - 95% of costs stem from neuron tracing. It is also an important step towards democratizing neuron tracing for everyday neuroscience. Solving these problems is critical for curing brain disorders, building safer and human-like AI, and even simulating brain function. In our first pilot study, we acquired a unique dataset in mouse hippocampus. Barcodes improved the accuracy of tracing genetically labelled neurons by 8x – with a clear path to 100x or more. They also permit tracing across spatial gaps – essential for mitigating tissue section loss in whole-brain scaling. Using molecular annotation, we uncover an intriguing feature of synaptic organization, demonstrating how PRISM can be used for systematic discovery 🧵show more

You Can Heal Yourself With Nature Movement - By... moving our body we give strength to our muscles, promote blood flow and lymphatic flow enhancing the delivery of nutrients and the removal of waste products. We also create a piezoelectric effect that energises the system. Breathing - The delivery of air into the body through intentional conscious breathing is one of the most powerful modalities for nervous system renewal, mental peace and the delivery of oxygen to the body and the removal of carbonic acid buildup from the system Sunshine - It’s my belief that the more sunlight we absorb without sunscreen, the healthier we will become. A tan looks good because it is healthy and every part of your body thrives when sunlight touches it delivering blood flow as well as a high frequency and energy Grounding - Existing in connection with the earth’s electrical fields resets everything about our energy, reduces inflammation and promotes the movement of proper channels such as detox - it’s a fantastic practice to be connected to nature. Green light - When sunlight moves through trees and leaves we receive Green light by which is very healing and high in near infrared light, in fact it is one of the most healing modalities to absorb in your skin particularly if you have any abrasions or wounds - even more powerful than red light . Fresh air - The first nutrient, having fresh air that is rich in oxygen is absolutely imperative to health and you should always have all of your windows open in the house if possible when not outside. Positive thinking - Whatever you think, shall become and having and cultivating a positive mindset that intentionally brings you positive energy is one of the cornerstones to great health. You can think yourself into sickness and you can think yourself into health so choose to view the world in a positive light and so it’ll be for you.show more

Mel Gibson's physical depiction of evil in The Passion... of the Christ mirrors an organism in a state of biological entropy, devoid of warmth and light. While likely an unconscious choice, Gibson’s stated goal is to represent evil as a distortion of good and order. Visually, the devil he portrays mimics the structural collapse of a biologically stressed organism. The devil's lack of eyebrows and hair is a manifestation of hypothyroidism. When the thyroid is underactive, overall energy production drops, forcing the body to forgo energy-intensive processes like hair growth and prioritize its remaining fuel for vital organs. The gaunt face reflects cortisol dominance. During periods of chronic stress, the body releases cortisol, which breaks down skin, muscle, bone, and connective tissues to provide emergency energy. This catabolic process dissolves structural proteins, leading to thinning skin and sagging, a sign of tissue wasting. Also, elevated cortisol levels forcibly redirect fat away from supportive areas like the face and deposit it in the abdomen. The devil’s pale, bloodless skin results from reduced peripheral blood flow. A hypothyroid body produces heat at a low rate, causing blood sugar levels to drop. To prevent hypothermia, the body secretes massive amounts of adrenaline, sometimes up to 30 to 40 times the normal amount (Peat, 1992). This adrenaline surge forcibly constricts blood vessels in the skin, conserving the little heat left around internal organs and leaving the skin cold and pale. The devil's androgyny is an expression of what happens to a developing organism under severe stress. A healthy, fully developed body relies on protective, differentiating hormones like progesterone and specific androgens to build structure, while a stressed organism relies on primitive emergency hormones like estrogen and cortisol (Peat, 2015). This stressed state halts proper cellular specialization and destroys the delicate hormonal ratios required for proper sexual dimorphism, pulling the organism toward an undifferentiated, amorphous, or "unisex" phenotype. The devil's behavior, especially during the manic state after Christ's resurrection, shows a reversion to the "lizard brain," or serpentine/snake-like behavior. In chronic stress, higher-order traits, such as love, creativity, empathy, cooperation, altruism, etc., are seen as expensive luxuries. When the brain lacks the ATP required to sustain these higher functions, it forcibly shuts them down to conserve fuel for basic survival. What remains is only the primitive brain stem, operating entirely on reactive survival instincts. In this low-energy, fat-oxidizing state, the devil, as shown here, becomes withdrawn, cold, angry, cancerous, and perceives the demands of the world, and the light of creation, as an active threat rather than an opportunity for expansion.show more
