A new treatment that blocks an aging-related protein restored lost cartilage in old mice and helped prevent arthritis after knee injuries. Human cartilage samples showed similar signs of regeneration, raising hopes for a future drug that could repair joints instead of replacing them.
Probably worth adding “in mice” to the title
Now we only need a drug to turn humans into mice and back.
Cindarellazine.
Mice are really living in a golden age. They have never been so healthy.
Did they test sildenafil on mice
The only downside is the never ending genocide at the hands of scientists
The mice need a floatilla and a few celebrities to turn on the red carpet and go “Yeah but what about the genocide of mice? – Chekmate, deuces.”
Uhhh you do know what happens to them at the end of the experiment right?
They turn into a soup-like homogenate. As is natural in the life cycle of a lab mouse.
And if they weren’t euthanized they would almost certainly die of horrible horrible cancerous tumors. Not because of anything the labs do, but because it’s a crime against nature for a mouse to live past maybe 2 years.
And simultaneously unhealthy (otherwise how are we"curing" them)
And human tissues, and it’s been shown to be safe in phase I trials.
So saying “in mice” undersells where they are at.
Yeah looks like poster either didn’t read the article or just didn’t read it sufficiently but decided to be reactionary anyways.
They started with mice. As does all experiments.
Did you only read half way through before reaction posting?
Weird.
it’s weird to comment “weird” on everything
Yes it would be. Good thing that’s not happening. How’s the spread of the misinformation? I see I’m hitting a few nerves.
GOOD.

This is not the xkcd I thought you were going to use
Which one did you have in mind?
This one
So “xkcd” is now a genericised noun for any comic? Also, is this xerox a Canon?
“four letter science comic”
Are you really that offended I linked to a relevant comic that wasn’t xkcd?
I take it you didn’t read the conversation to get the markers about the topic before posting that.
Lots of reading comprehension problems in these science posts
Protip, being abrasive makes people not want to talk to you.
