Scientists have turned blood cells from an 80-year-old into neural stem cells with a molecular age of less than 20, effectively reversing more than 60 years of cellular aging in the laboratory. The discovery offers a new way to investigate how cells become younger and could help researchers better understand age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's.

      Maybe they will finally live long enough to actually suffer the consequences of their actions?

      i like to think of boomers as guinea pigs. they will likely die and not get much benefit from all of this new tech. rich millenials / gen x will be the undying boomers. hope youre ready for 1000 years of being cucked by zuck

        I like to think that we won’t all be dead by 2040 due to accelerating unstable climate catastrophes and crop failure but I think it’s wishful thinking

          Hey the rich people will be fine, they’ll just move to the places with the least bad climate like some random valley in Norway or something

            It’s not like they’re utterly dependent on every part of the global economic supply chain functioning lol

            Yeah I go back and forth between revolutionary optimism and acceptance that our species deserves to die out for the betterment of the rest.
