Fetterman's chance to cure his conservatism!

    Is there some kind of interview to find a mouse that suffered from stroke?

    Actually, I maybe don't want to know the reality

    Biotech companies breed mice for specific models. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that they offer a mouse that has high probability to stroke.

    Or just they just use magnets apparently (How do they work?)

    Any progress in stroke research is helpful. After seeing the aftermath of a couple family members having strokes, to say it’s life changing isn’t adequate. Truly terrible.

    related research:

    https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3368614/chinese-drug-loberamisal-extends-stroke-treatment-window-6-hours-2-days

    Chinese drug loberamisal extends stroke treatment window from 6 hours to 2 days

    "The large-scale multicentre phase 3 trial found that 70 per cent of patients who received loberamisal intravenously within two days of a stroke regained complete functional independence – an increase of 13 percentage points over standard care alone."

    wow. now imagine we made this discovery in 2006 and stemcell research wasn't hindered by christofascists.

    I would like to see a how long scientists can keep a mouse alive using all the medical breakthroughs they have tested for mice.

    A lot of things seem to work on mice.

    A lot of money being wasted to find cures for mice. Maybe they should work on finding cures for people instead.

    I always thought that the /s was a stupid thing, but judging from the down votes on your comment, I guess it's a necessity

    They have a point. Mouse model research translation to human disease has a poor track record. Mouse model labs spin in circles between models and never try to translate into humans. Some diseases stall for decades in models.

    The mouse's brain plasticity is orders of magnitude higher than a human's.

    I spent a career in research and I can tell you that mice are excellent models for discovery, AMA

    mice are excellent models for discovery

    Not really. What's the translate rate to humans? 9%?

    Mice can model some diseases well, but they are not universally good models.

    Not universal, for example we use zebrafish for spine defect models since mouse spine has an odd curve/hunch that doesn't line up as well. But for general metabolism/pathology/embryonic development they do a great job of mimicking human disease under the microscope. Its not always 1:1 but we learn a lot from these little guys.

    It's a good time to be a sick mouse.

    Nice, still waiting for teeth regrowth, colonoscopy not involving fingers up my ass or a diet drug available for me tho. Feels like this shit wont hit market until the planet has been literally cooked.

  • If they can perfect the saftey switch they talk about in the article. Then maybe stem cells for the brain will be like vitamins. Cause damage to like the blood brain barrier is hard to detect, but seems to be present in a decent number of "syndromes". Like autism for one. It would be nice if they understood the why and how's, but that could be decades away.

    Yet another thing the Christian fascists have ruined for everyone.
