SYMBIOTE - Vivid Shadows 2024

She had expected the fusing process to hurt. How could it not? The Specimen grafted itself through every cellular wall, every muscle and nerve fiber. The pain was a price she was ready to pay for her revenge. But this wasn’t just pain. What she felt as the specimen tore through her body was white hot ecstasy. Electric, shuddering, and all consuming.

Kept this one exclusive for a while to help promote the PDF! If you liked Vivid Shadows this year, consider picking up a copy of the art book ;)

So what you want Kate to not get chemotherapy so that she gets even more worse and more unwell? Who even thinks like that and William doesn’t smoke

First off, it's well known that William smokes. Just because he hides it better than Harry doesn't mean he doesn't do it. He clearly has smoker skin. That's why his skin looks so terrible & dry. So dry that soon we might be able to grate cheese on it.

"You want Kate to not get chemotherapy so that she gets even more worse and more unwell?"

Your ignorance is clearly showing.

This is how people die from cancer:

Catabolism: the body breaks down on a cellular level; substances released by tumor cells are strong anorexics.

Secondary infection due to immune system suppression.

Blockage of vital structures: trachea/esophagus, superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome, impacts to the spinal cord, pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, etc.

Side effects of medication/treatment: immune suppression, pulmonary fibrosis, Graft-versus-Host-Disease (GvHD), etc.

You do not die from cancer just because you have "cancer."

I wrote a long post yesterday differentiating that different people have different physiology. Just because you have "cancer" does not mean that it poses a threat to your life or health. Plenty of people have "cancer" that does not progress at all or affect them in any way. Just because you have "cancer present" does not mean it will affect your life or health in any significant way.

The situation is really like the anon said:

"Catherine has a much more serious cancer than they are letting on, hence, the decision to have chemo is not even a discussion point,"

"she’s not having chemo and there’s another reason why she’s missing in action,"

"she and William are panicking and she’s receiving chemo regardless"

My bets are on numbers two or three.

Kensington Palace is clearly lying. Can't wait for it to be revealed! KP's strategy before Kate's cancer announcement was to release the news that her medical records had been breached and paint Kate as a victim. After the cancer announcement, it was those pesky conspiracy theorists and the axis of evil who was to blame for Kate's reputation being slagged around the world, not the utter incompetence of William and KP.

Let's not forget that William is an emotionally damaged, thin skinned, control freak with a privacy fetish.

Let's also not forget that next Monday, 01 April 2024, begins a new fiscal year for the BRF.

rev my man my hal i am having THOUGHTS ABOUT THE MI-GO

so

i was thinking about Affini stuff and realized that a lotta what im trying to figure out would work better for something FUNGOID (more akin to Terran fungus) than for something FLORAL (more akin to Terran plants) or FAUNAL (MEAT), and the MI-GO fit that roll perfectly

anyway anyway anyway

GRAFTS

the idea

your average MI-GO starts off as an awkward gestative mold that acts like a halfway between a slimemold and an egg, before it hatches out a gross little grub-nymph stage that eventually develops into an adult, with only a couple legs and arms and stuff

this is PROBABLY the best you'd get, like, evolutionarily. natural adaption REALLY doesn't like having too many limbs or organs unless you can justify it through segmentation like a millipede or some shit

SO

since MI-GO are, on a cellular level, fungoid, they take grafting REALLY REALLY WELL

where you'd need to attach a million different connections of nerves and veins and arteries and muscles and everything for a faunal organism, the MI-GO's body can grow around it, redirecting circulation and nerves and growing all the proper structures to support it

which is FUCKING MASSIVE when it comes to bodily modification! you don't need to have an extensive cybernetic surgery that fundamentally alters your body if you want wings

instead, you just graft on a set of lab-grown wings, give it a couple weeks to make the proper connections, and then exercise with them enough to grow the muscles and muscle-memory you'd need to fly!

why specifically the mi-go? dunno! probably just using them as an example

Hera you are so on to something that i am DELIGHTED to inform you that Chaosium's A Time To Harvest campaign ALSO implied some of this!!!!

Truth Serum

[read on ao3][masterlist]Febuwhump prompt: truth serum

The two clones—for that is what they are, despite their opposite natures, just two samples of altered genetic material of the same human man—have been secured to the table, head-to-head. From above, they look like a bacillus cell halfway through division. The little blonde female is crying again, as though she thinks it will help her.

Characters: Crosshair, Omega, Doctor Hemlock, Emerie Karr Wordcount: 1309 Warnings: Major Character Death, Medical Torture, Drug Overdose

The two clones—for that is what they are, despite their opposite natures, just two samples of altered genetic material of the same human man—have been secured to the table, head-to-head. From above, they look like a bacillus cell halfway through division. The little blonde female is crying again, as though she thinks it will help her.

Emerie stands in the corner, obediently waiting for instructions. "Everything has been prepared, Doctor Hemlock," she says softly, her eyes on the tiled floor.

"Excellent." Hemlock pats Emerie's cheek. "And I am happy to see that your attitude has improved. You've been so… different since Omega arrived. I should have disciplined you sooner."

Emerie gives a half-hearted smile and nods, absently rubbing the bruises that the restraints left on her wrists.

Hemlock gives the clones a smile as he approaches the table. "Omega. Crosshair. How are we doing today?"

Omega turns her head as best she can in her restraints and glares at him. Crosshair doesn't bother.

"I'll take that as a 'very well, Doctor Hemlock, thank you for asking.' Strange how your manners are becoming worse since rejoining civilized society, Omega." 

"Kark off," she says with a sniffle, turning away from him.

He smiles. He doesn't mind when she gets feisty. It gives him ideas. "Omega, have you ever heard of a drug called Skirtopanol?" He circles around the table and leans down to whisper the question directly in her ear. 

"Yes," she whimpers. "It's truth serum."

"Good girl. Skirtopanol is indeed known colloquially as 'truth serum,' though I find the saying a bit gauche. And also a misnomer. It doesn't compel one to tell the truth so much as it makes it a great deal harder to lie. It's almost impossible to keep anything to yourself as it quickens your thought processes." He picks up the hypospray from the assortment Emerie has prepared and carefully adjusts the dosage to her weight. "The dosage must be carefully monitored, lest it cause permanent neural impairment, or even a stroke." Hemlock leans in until his lips are touching the delicate shell of her ear. "Do you think your brothers would still want to save you if they knew they'd have to change your diapers for the rest of your life?"

"Am I just here for emotional support, or can I go back to my cell?" Crosshair snaps, struggling in his bonds.

Hemlock chuckles. "Oh, Crosshair, who do you think you're fooling? Do you believe that I can't tell that you're trying to distract me from hurting her?" It's almost adorable how protective the clones are all of each other, even more so of the cadet-aged ones. It's also convenient in interrogations. The soldiers tend to overreact when the little ones are hurt.

Omega gasps in pain as Hemlock shoots the hypospray into her neck. He hands the spent device to Emerie to dispose of. When he turns back to Omega, her eyes have filled up with pained tears. Understandable, given the known stinging effect of the drug flooding her veins.

"Now, let's talk Clone Force 99." Hemlock brushes Omega's overgrown blonde hair out of her face in an imitation of tenderness. "Named after CT-9900, the first member of the so-aptly nicknamed Bad Batch."

"I'm aware," Omega says flatly. "I was Nala Se's lab assistant my entire life. Her idea was to tweak his cellular turnover in an attempt to grant him a rapid healing factor, but it backfired and caused progeria instead. He was kept alive in order to harvest stem cells for skin grafts since he did in fact exhibit some accelerated healing, but he was killed in the attack on Kamino by the Separatist Army and—"

"Yes, yes, focus." Hemlock snaps his fingers. "Almost every single second of your childhood with Nala was recorded, and I have access to it all. What I want to know from you now is what the future brings." He leans down again. "Where does the Bad Batch hide out?" 

"Cid's parlor on Ord Mantell." Omega twitches in her restraints and grimaces. "We… we went there for the first time right after Order 66, and—"

Hemlock snaps his fingers again. "I know about Cid's parlor, Omega, that's where I collected you. I want to know about the other places."

"Pa—" Omega twitches. The left side of her face doesn't move when she speaks. "Pa. Pa. Pa. Paaaaaaaa." 

Crosshair freezes, then jerks his head as far back as he can in his position. "Omega?" he asks in a fearful pitch.

Hemlock stands up. "I believe she's having a stroke," he mentions to Emerie, stroking his chin curiously. 

Her eyes go wide. She darts for the collection of hyposprays. "I'll get the—"

Hemlock yanks her away from the cart and pushes her back against the wall where she belongs. "Don't bother. It's already too late." He frowns. "How odd. I know I gave her the right dose." He turns to his assistant, who's watching the little girl seize, drool, and wet herself with a horrified expression. "You prepared the correct concentration of Skirtopanol, did you not?" he asks her suspiciously.

Crosshair desperately tries to look back at Omega, thrashing even harder than she is in his efforts. "Omega? Omega, can you hear me?" 

Emerie's eyes look visibly offended behind her spectacles. "Of course I did, Doctor," she spits out angrily. "I also put in her notes that she has exhibited sensitivity to several of the drugs used on her in the past." She turns her datapad and shows him Omega's notes like a recalcitrant schoolgirl being accused of cheating on her coursework. 

"Hmm." Hemlock cannot argue that she did, in fact, notate that fact in bold print at the very top of her medical profile. He doesn't know how he missed it.

"Are you going to kriffing do something?" Crosshair roars, struggling in his bonds as the young clone goes into violent convulsions. "She's dying, you bastard!"

"Yes, she is, but it can't be helped. " Hemlock shrugs. "If she's having a stroke, it's already too late to reverse the effects of the overdose. There's an unfortunately small window with Skirtopanol, you see. Her frontal lobe has already begun to break down. It's kinder to let it continue."

"No!" Crosshair screams, throwing himself back and forth in his restraints hard enough to dislocate his shoulder with an audible pop! of wet cartilage ripping. "No, no, Omega! Omega, please!"

The younger clone stops twitching, most likely unconscious from hypoxia. Hemlock retrieves the Skirtopanol's dissolution agent and shoots it into the other side of her neck. Her brain may still be salvaged once the chain reaction stops, even though it's too late for her nervous system to reactivate.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Crosshair scream-sobs, lunging for his hand with his teeth. "GET OFF… get off…" 

Omega's heart monitor lets out an annoying, extended beep as she flatlines. Emerie turns it off  wordlessly.

"Put her on ice immediately," Hemlock orders. "I'd like to dissect her brain. And pass on my apologies to Nala Se."

"Yes, Doctor." Emerie gently transfers the braindead clone to a repulsorcot. She pauses to squeeze the sobbing older clone's hand, then quietly exits.

Hemlock rolls his eyes at the display of sympathy. "Well, that was unfortunate." He selects an autonomic activation agent from Emerie's drug cart and turns. "Now, Crosshair, I hope you're—" 

He reels back stumbling, and falls with a crash of metal and breaking glass as he takes his cart down with him. He grasps at his throat with slippery fingers, fruitlessly struggling to hold the wound closed; despite his best efforts the blood pours out from between his fingers in a boiling rush. His vision fading, Hemlock watches Crosshair furiously saw at his remaining restraints with a laser-scalpel, and realizes far too late that Emerie had given the clone more than just her sympathy.

Pear

after Susan Stewart No one ever died for a bite of one, or came back from the dead for a single taste: the cool flesh cellular or stony, white as the belly of the winter hare or a doe's scut, flicking, before she mates. Even an unripe one is delicious, its crisp bite cleaner almost than water and its many names just as inviting: Bartlett and Comice, Anjou, Nashi, Concorde and Seckel, the pomegranate-skinned Starkrimson, even the medieval Bosc, which looks like it dropped from an oil painting. It is not a sin to eat one, though you may think of a woman's body as you do it, the bell-shaped swell of it rich in your hand, and for this reason it was sacred to Venus, Juno, all women celebrated or dismissed in its shape, that mealy sweetness tunneling from its center, a gold that sinks back into itself with age. To ripen a pear, wrap it in paper, lay it in cloth by an open window or slip a rotten one beside it on a metal dish: dying cells call always to the fresh ones, the body's siren song that, having heard it once, we can't stop singing. This is not the fruit that will send you to hell nor keep you there; it will not give you knowledge, childbirth, power, or love; you won't know more pain for having eaten one, or choke on a bite to fall asleep under glass. It has no use for archer or hero, though anything you desire from an apple you can do with the pear, like a dark sister with whom you might live out your secret desires. Cook it in wine, mull it with spices, roast it with honey and cloves. Time sweetens and we taste it, so gather the fruit weeks before ripeness, let summer and winter both simmer inside, for it is a fall fruit whose name in China means separation, though only the fearful won't eat one with those they love. To grow a tree from seed, you'll need a garden and a grafting quince, bees, a ladder, shears, a jug; you'll need water and patience, sun and mud, a reverence for the elders who told no true stories of this fruit's origin, wanting to give us the freedom of one thing that's pleasure alone. Cool and sweet, cellular and stony, this is the fruit I'll never die for, nor come back from the dead for a single taste. The juice of the pear shines on my cheeks. There's no curse in it. I'll eat what I like and throw the rest to the grasses. The seeds will find whatever soils they were meant for.

Aplastic Anemia | Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatments

Aplastic anemia (AA) is the syndrome of chronic primary hematopoietic failure caused by injury, which results in decreased or absent hematopoietic precursors in the bone marrow and accompanying pancytopenia.

Aplastic anemia is classified as either moderate, severe (SAA), or very severe (vSAA).

Three primary mechanisms can result in the development of AA: –

1. Direct injury.

2. Immune-mediated.

3. Inherited or acquired bone marrow failure.

Usually, AA is idiopathic, however, it can be attributable to: –

- Radiation.

- Toxic chemicals (like Benzene, solvents, and glue vapors).

- Cytotoxic drugs (chloramphenicol, gold).

- Immune-related disorders (Eosinophilic fasciitis, SLE, Graft versus host disease).

- Thymoma.

- Viral infections (Epstein-Virus Infection, Parvovirus B19, Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and Hepatitis virus).

- Anorexia nervosa and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).

Patients typically present with non-specific symptoms caused by associated cytopenia, such as: –

- Low energy levels, pallor, and headaches with anemia.

- Mucosal bleeding.

- Bruising/petechiae.

- Menorrhagia with thrombocytopenia.

- Fever with or without evidence of infection with neutropenia.

The most common complications of aplastic anemia are bleeding, infections, and transformation to lymphoproliferative disorders.

Aplastic anemia has the following diagnostic criteria: –

The presence of bone marrow hypocellularity and two or more cytopenias (reticulopodia less than 1% or less than 40,000/microliter, neutropenia less than 500/microliter, or thrombocytopenia less than 20,000/microliter).

The bone marrow cellularity in moderate disease is less than 30%.

The severe disease has less than 25% cellularity or less than 50% cellularity with fewer than 30% hematopoietic cells.

Very severe meets the severe criteria in addition to neutropenia less than 200/µL.

Aplastic anemia treatment focuses on the underlying cause.

If possible, remove the offending agent(s).

Treatment is dependent on the patient’s age, disease severity, donor availability, and performance status when there is no distinctive reversible cause.

Young patients (less than 50 years old) with severe disease who are in good health should receive an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) before starting immunosuppressive therapy.

Older patients (50 years and older) in good health, as well as young patients without an HCT donor, are given full-dose immunosuppressive therapy using: –

- Eltrombopag.

- Horse/rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG).

- Cyclosporine A.

- Prednisone.

Bone Grafting: How It Works and Why It’s a Game-Changer

Bone grafting is a revolutionary procedure in modern medicine. It helps repair and rebuild damaged bones. This process is essential for patients with bone injuries or defects. Advanced technologies like iMRS 2000 and PEMF devices improve recovery. These tools are making bone grafting even more effective. Let’s explore how bone grafting works and its incredible benefits.

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure. It replaces missing or damaged bone with new material. The material used can be natural or synthetic. Natural grafts often come from the patient’s body. This is called auto grafting. Synthetic grafts use artificial materials like ceramics.

Bone grafting stimulates bone growth and regeneration. It is common in dental, orthopedic, and spinal surgeries. Bone grafts act as a scaffold. They provide structure for new bone cells to grow. PEMF machines like Omnium1 enhance this healing process.

How Does Bone Grafting Work?

Bone grafting involves several steps. First, the surgeon cleans the damaged bone area. Then, they place the graft material in the space. Over time, the graft fuses with the existing bone. The body’s natural healing process strengthens this connection.

Using tools like a PEMF mat boosts the outcome. PEMF devices stimulate cells and improve blood flow. This promotes faster bone regeneration. Devices like iMRS 2000 are widely recommended for post-surgery recovery.

Types of Bone Grafts

There are four main types of bone grafts:

Autografts: Taken from the patient’s own body. These are highly effective but may cause discomfort.

Allografts: Taken from donors. These are sterilized to ensure safety.

Xenografts: Taken from animals, usually cows. These are used in some specialized cases.

Synthetic Grafts: Made from man-made materials like ceramics or polymers.

Each type has its benefits and risks. The choice depends on the patient’s condition and needs. Advanced recovery tools like the Omnium1 PEMF machine help patients heal efficiently, regardless of the graft type.

Why Is Bone Grafting a Game-Changer?

Bone grafting is life-changing for many patients. It restores function to damaged bones. It prevents amputation in severe cases. In dental treatments, it improves the success of implants.

Innovations in PEMF devices are revolutionizing bone graft recovery. Devices like the iMRS 2000 and PEMF mat speed up healing. They reduce pain and inflammation, improving the overall patient experience.

Applications of Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is used in various medical fields:

Orthopedics: To treat fractures and joint issues.

Dentistry: For implant support and jawbone repair.

Spinal Surgery: To stabilize vertebrae and treat deformities.

Trauma Care: For injuries from accidents or surgeries.

In these applications, PEMF machines like Omnium1 ensure faster and better outcomes. The non-invasive nature of PEMF devices makes them an ideal complement.

How PEMF Devices Help in Bone Grafting?

PEMF devices use electromagnetic fields to boost cellular activity. They improve bone regeneration by stimulating osteoblasts. Osteoblasts are cells responsible for bone formation.

The iMRS 2000 PEMF machine is a leading tool in this field. It delivers targeted therapy to the graft area. This reduces swelling and enhances healing. Patients using a PEMF mat report less discomfort and faster recovery.

Benefits of Using PEMF Machines

PEMF machines offer several benefits for bone grafting patients:

Faster Healing: Boosts bone growth and reduces recovery time.

Pain Relief: Eases discomfort after surgery.

Improved Blood Flow: Enhances nutrient delivery to the graft site.

Non-Invasive Therapy: Safe and easy to use at home.

The Omnium1 PEMF machine is compact and user-friendly. It is a popular choice for both patients and healthcare providers.

Recovery Tips for Bone Grafting Patients

Recovery from bone grafting requires proper care. Here are some tips to ensure a smooth healing process:

Follow Medical Advice: Stick to your doctor’s instructions.

Use PEMF Therapy: Incorporate tools like the iMRS 2000 PEMF mat for better recovery.

Eat a Healthy Diet: Focus on calcium and protein-rich foods.

Avoid Strain: Limit physical activity during recovery.

Advanced devices like PEMF machines simplify recovery. They reduce downtime and improve overall well-being.

Why Choose PEMF Therapy for Bone Grafting?

PEMF therapy is a proven method to support bone healing. Devices like the Omnium1 PEMF machine offer precise treatment. They are portable and easy to operate.

The iMRS 2000 is especially effective. It delivers electromagnetic pulses to the graft site. These pulses activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Patients recover faster and experience less pain.

Final Thoughts

Bone grafting has transformed medical treatments. It offers hope for patients with bone damage or defects. With tools like the iMRS 2000, recovery is easier and faster.

PEMF devices like the Omnium1 and PEMF mats are game-changers. They reduce pain, speed up healing, and improve outcomes. These advanced technologies make bone grafting more effective than ever.

If you are undergoing bone grafting, consider using PEMF therapy. It is a safe, non-invasive way to enhance your recovery journey.

Comprehensive Hair Transplant and Hair Loss Solutions in Hyderabad

Hair loss is a widespread issue that affects millions of people across all age groups, causing not just physical changes but emotional stress as well. With advancements in medical science, it is now possible to combat hair loss effectively and regain lost confidence. Hyderabad has emerged as a hub for hair transplant procedures and hairloss treatments, offering world-class facilities and affordable solutions. Whether you’re facing early signs of hair thinning, excessive hairfall in teenagers, or advanced baldness, Hyderabad’s specialized clinics provide tailored treatments to address every concern.

The Problem of Hair Loss: Causes and Effects

Hair loss can occur due to a variety of reasons, including:

Genetics: Hereditary baldness or androgenetic alopecia is one of the leading causes of hair loss in men and women.

Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like PCOS, thyroid disorders, or post-pregnancy hormonal changes can contribute to thinning hair.

Lifestyle Factors: Stress, improper diet, and environmental pollution can weaken hair follicles, leading to shedding.

Hairfall in Teenagers: In younger individuals, hair loss is often linked to poor scalp care, excessive use of styling products, or nutritional deficiencies.

The emotional toll of hair loss can be significant, impacting self-esteem and confidence. However, with the rise of advanced hair treatment options in Hyderabad, patients can now find effective and lasting solutions tailored to their unique needs.

Hair Transplantation: A Permanent Solution to Hair Loss

For individuals dealing with severe hair loss or baldness, hair transplantation offers a permanent solution. Hyderabad boasts some of the most advanced clinics in the country, staffed by highly skilled surgeons who specialize in the latest techniques. Here are the most common types of hair transplants performed in Hyderabad:

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): FUE is a minimally invasive technique where individual hair follicles are harvested from the donor area (usually the back of the scalp) and implanted into the balding regions. This method is highly popular due to its natural-looking results, minimal scarring, and shorter recovery time.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): Also known as the “strip method,” FUT involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area and dividing it into follicular units for transplantation. FUT is ideal for patients with advanced baldness, as it provides a higher number of grafts in one session.

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI): An advanced technique similar to FUE, DHI uses a specialized tool to directly implant hair follicles without creating incisions beforehand. This method ensures higher precision and quicker recovery.

The hair transplant hospitals in hyderabad are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, ensuring precision and safety in every procedure. The results are long-lasting, giving patients the natural appearance they desire.

Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatments in Hyderabad

While surgical options like hair transplants are ideal for advanced cases, non-surgical treatments are highly effective for early-stage hair loss or temporary shedding. Hyderabad’s clinics offer a variety of innovative hair treatment options, including:

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy is one of the most popular non-surgical treatments for hair loss. It involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, extracting the platelet-rich plasma, and injecting it into the scalp. PRP stimulates dormant hair follicles, improves blood flow, and promotes natural hair regrowth.

Mesotherapy: Mesotherapy delivers a blend of vitamins, amino acids, and growth factors directly into the scalp to rejuvenate hair follicles and encourage healthy growth.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): LLLT uses laser energy to stimulate hair growth at the cellular level. It is a painless, non-invasive treatment that improves hair density and thickness over time.

Medications and Topical Treatments: Dermatologists in Hyderabad often prescribe FDA-approved medications like Minoxidil and Finasteride to slow down hair loss and promote regrowth. These treatments are customized to suit each patient’s condition.

Addressing Hairfall in Teenagers

The rise in hairfall in teenagers has become a growing concern for families and dermatologists alike. Teenagers face hair loss due to hormonal changes during puberty, unhealthy diets, stress, or excessive use of heat styling tools and chemical products.

Hyderabad’s specialized clinics offer non-invasive and preventive treatments tailored to teenagers, such as:

Nutritional Counseling: Addressing deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals that are critical for hair health.

Scalp Treatments: Cleansing therapies to remove buildup and maintain a healthy scalp.

Lifestyle Guidance: Advice on stress management, reducing chemical exposure, and adopting healthy hair care routines.

Timely intervention can prevent long-term damage and restore the confidence of young individuals facing hairfall.

When muscles work out, they help neurons to grow, a new study shows

New Post has been published on https://sunalei.org/news/when-muscles-work-out-they-help-neurons-to-grow-a-new-study-shows/

When muscles work out, they help neurons to grow, a new study shows

There’s no doubt that exercise does a body good. Regular activity not only strengthens muscles but can bolster our bones, blood vessels, and immune system.

Now, MIT engineers have found that exercise can also have benefits at the level of individual neurons. They observed that when muscles contract during exercise, they release a soup of biochemical signals called myokines. In the presence of these muscle-generated signals, neurons grew four times farther compared to neurons that were not exposed to myokines. These cellular-level experiments suggest that exercise can have a significant biochemical effect on nerve growth.

Surprisingly, the researchers also found that neurons respond not only to the biochemical signals of exercise but also to its physical impacts. The team observed that when neurons are repeatedly pulled back and forth, similarly to how muscles contract and expand during exercise, the neurons grow just as much as when they are exposed to a muscle’s myokines.

While previous studies have indicated a potential biochemical link between muscle activity and nerve growth, this study is the first to show that physical effects can be just as important, the researchers say. The results, which are published today in the journal Advanced Healthcare Materials, shed light on the connection between muscles and nerves during exercise, and could inform exercise-related therapies for repairing damaged and deteriorating nerves.

“Now that we know this muscle-nerve crosstalk exists, it can be useful for treating things like nerve injury, where communication between nerve and muscle is cut off,” says Ritu Raman, the Eugene Bell Career Development Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT. “Maybe if we stimulate the muscle, we could encourage the nerve to heal, and restore mobility to those who have lost it due to traumatic injury or neurodegenerative diseases.”

Raman is the senior author of the new study, which includes Angel Bu, Ferdows Afghah, Nicolas Castro, Maheera Bawa, Sonika Kohli, Karina Shah, and Brandon Rios of MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Vincent Butty of MIT’s Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research.

Muscle talk

In 2023, Raman and her colleagues reported that they could restore mobility in mice that had experienced a traumatic muscle injury, by first implanting muscle tissue at the site of injury, then exercising the new tissue by stimulating it repeatedly with light. Over time, they found that the exercised graft helped mice to regain their motor function, reaching activity levels comparable to those of healthy mice.

When the researchers analyzed the graft itself, it appeared that regular exercise stimulated the grafted muscle to produce certain biochemical signals that are known to promote nerve and blood vessel growth.

“That was interesting because we always think that nerves control muscle, but we don’t think of muscles talking back to nerves,” Raman says. “So, we started to think stimulating muscle was encouraging nerve growth. And people replied that maybe that’s the case, but there’s hundreds of other cell types in an animal, and it’s really hard to prove that the nerve is growing more because of the muscle, rather than the immune system or something else playing a role.”

In their new study, the team set out to determine whether exercising muscles has any direct effect on how nerves grow, by focusing solely on muscle and nerve tissue. The researchers grew mouse muscle cells into long fibers that then fused to form a small sheet of mature muscle tissue about the size of a quarter.

The team genetically modified the muscle to contract in response to light. With this modification, the team could flash a light repeatedly, causing the muscle to squeeze in response, in a way that mimicked the act of exercise. Raman previously developed a novel gel mat on which to grow and exercise muscle tissue. The gel’s properties are such that it can support muscle tissue and prevent it from peeling away as the researchers stimulated the muscle to exercise.

The team then collected samples of the surrounding solution in which the muscle tissue was exercised, thinking that the solution should hold myokines, including growth factors, RNA, and a mix of other proteins.

“I would think of myokines as a biochemical soup of things that muscles secrete, some of which could be good for nerves and others that might have nothing to do with nerves,” Raman says. “Muscles are pretty much always secreting myokines, but when you exercise them, they make more.”

“Exercise as medicine”

The team transferred the myokine solution to a separate dish containing motor neurons — nerves found in the spinal cord that control muscles involved in voluntary movement. The researchers grew the neurons from stem cells derived from mice. As with the muscle tissue, the neurons were grown on a similar gel mat. After the neurons were exposed to the myokine mixture, the team observed that they quickly began to grow, four times faster than neurons that did not receive the biochemical solution.

MIT scientists find that motor neuron growth increased significantly over 5 days in response to biochemical and mechanical signals related to exercise. The green ball represents cluster of neurons that grow outward in long tails, or axons.

“They grow much farther and faster, and the effect is pretty immediate,” Raman notes.

For a closer look at how neurons changed in response to the exercise-induced myokines, the team ran a genetic analysis, extracting RNA from the neurons to see whether the myokines induced any change in the expression of certain neuronal genes.

“We saw that many of the genes up-regulated in the exercise-stimulated neurons was not only related to neuron growth, but also neuron maturation, how well they talk to muscles and other nerves, and how mature the axons are,” Raman says. “Exercise seems to impact not just neuron growth but also how mature and well-functioning they are.”

The results suggest that biochemical effects of exercise can promote neuron growth. Then the group wondered: Could exercise’s purely physical impacts have a similar benefit?

“Neurons are physically attached to muscles, so they are also stretching and moving with the muscle,” Raman says. “We also wanted to see, even in the absence of biochemical cues from muscle, could we stretch the neurons back and forth, mimicking the mechanical forces (of exercise), and could that have an impact on growth as well?”

To answer this, the researchers grew a different set of motor neurons on a gel mat that they embedded with tiny magnets. They then used an external magnet to jiggle the mat — and the neurons — back and forth. In this way, they “exercised” the neurons, for 30 minutes a day. To their surprise, they found that this mechanical exercise stimulated the neurons to grow just as much as the myokine-induced neurons, growing significantly farther than neurons that received no form of exercise.

“That’s a good sign because it tells us both biochemical and physical effects of exercise are equally important,” Raman says.

Now that the group has shown that exercising muscle can promote nerve growth at the cellular level, they plan to study how targeted muscle stimulation can be used to grow and heal damaged nerves, and restore mobility for people who are living with a neurodegenerative disease such as ALS.

“This is just our first step toward understanding and controlling exercise as medicine,” Raman says.

What Are the Latest Advances in Regenerative Medicine?

In recent years, the field of regenerative medicine has witnessed remarkable advances, driven by innovations in science and technology. This multidisciplinary area focuses on repairing, replacing, or regenerating damaged tissues and organs, offering the promise of more effective treatments for a variety of medical conditions. As our understanding of cellular biology and the mechanisms of healing deepens, the potential for regenerative medicine to transform healthcare grows ever more tangible. This article explores some of the latest breakthroughs in regenerative medicine, highlighting their implications for future therapies and patient outcomes.

Stem Cell Therapies: Pioneering Tissue Repair

One of the most significant advancements in regenerative medicine is the use of stem cell therapies. Stem cells have the unique ability to differentiate into various cell types, making them invaluable for tissue repair and regeneration. Recent research has focused on harnessing the potential of both embryonic and adult stem cells to treat a range of conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disorders, and musculoskeletal injuries.

One of the key developments in this field is the application of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Scientists have discovered methods to reprogram adult cells into a pluripotent state, allowing them to develop into any cell type. This has opened new avenues for personalized medicine, as iPSCs can be derived from a patient’s own cells, reducing the risk of immune rejection and ethical concerns associated with embryonic stem cells. In clinical trials, iPSC-derived therapies have shown promise in treating conditions such as spinal cord injuries and retinal degenerative diseases, paving the way for future applications across various medical fields.

Tissue Engineering: Building Replacement Tissues

Another exciting area within regenerative medicine is tissue engineering, which involves the creation of artificial organs and tissues using a combination of cells, biomaterials, and growth factors. Recent advances in 3D bioprinting technology have revolutionized this field, enabling researchers to construct complex tissue structures with precision. By layering living cells and biomaterials, scientists can create functional tissues that mimic the natural architecture of human organs.

For instance, researchers have made significant strides in engineering skin, cartilage, and even vascular tissues. These engineered tissues can be used for transplantation, reducing the reliance on donor organs and addressing the shortage of available grafts. Additionally, tissue-engineered constructs can be utilized in drug testing and disease modeling, providing valuable insights into various conditions without the ethical concerns associated with animal testing.

Gene Therapy: Revolutionizing Treatment Approaches

Gene therapy represents another frontier in regenerative medicine, offering the potential to treat genetic disorders at their source. Advances in gene editing technologies, such as CRISPR-Cas9, have made it possible to precisely modify genes within living organisms. This revolutionary approach enables the correction of genetic mutations that cause diseases, opening new pathways for treatment.

Recent clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of gene therapies in treating conditions like hemophilia, muscular dystrophy, and certain forms of inherited blindness. By delivering corrected copies of genes or using gene editing techniques to repair faulty genes, researchers have made significant progress in restoring normal function in affected tissues. As the safety and efficacy of these therapies are further established, gene therapy may become a standard treatment option for a range of genetic disorders.

Exosome Therapy: Harnessing Cellular Communication

A relatively new area of research within regenerative medicine is the use of exosomes, which are small vesicles secreted by cells that play a crucial role in intercellular communication. Exosomes contain proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids that reflect the state of their parent cells, making them valuable for therapeutic applications. Recent studies have shown that exosomes derived from stem cells can promote tissue repair and regeneration by modulating inflammation, enhancing cell survival, and stimulating tissue regeneration.

The advantages of exosome therapy lie in their ability to facilitate communication between cells and promote healing without the need for direct cell transplantation. This approach has shown promise in treating conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and injuries. As research continues to uncover the mechanisms underlying exosome function, their potential as a therapeutic tool in regenerative medicine becomes increasingly evident.

Personalized Medicine: Tailoring Treatments for Individual Patients

The concept of personalized medicine is gaining traction within regenerative medicine, as advances in genomics and biotechnology allow for tailored therapeutic approaches. By analyzing an individual’s genetic makeup, researchers can identify specific biomarkers that predict treatment responses, enabling the development of targeted therapies.

In regenerative medicine, personalized approaches can optimize stem cell therapies, tissue engineering, and gene therapies. For example, by understanding a patient’s unique genetic profile and disease mechanisms, clinicians can select the most appropriate stem cell source or engineering strategy for tissue repair. This shift towards personalized medicine not only enhances treatment efficacy but also minimizes the risk of adverse effects, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Conclusion

The latest advances in regenerative medicine hold the promise of transforming healthcare by providing innovative solutions for tissue repair and regeneration. From stem cell therapies and tissue engineering to gene therapy and exosome therapy, these breakthroughs are paving the way for more effective treatments for a wide range of medical conditions. As research continues to evolve, the potential for personalized medicine to tailor regenerative therapies to individual patients will further enhance the effectiveness of these approaches.

Brands like Edge Peptide Therapy are at the forefront of this exciting field, offering access to cutting-edge therapies that harness the power of peptides and other regenerative technologies. By integrating the latest scientific advancements into therapeutic practices, they are committed to improving health outcomes and enriching the lives of individuals seeking recovery and rejuvenation. As regenerative medicine continues to advance, the future of healing appears brighter than ever, with the potential to change the landscape of medical treatment for years to come.

The idea that one can reverse aging, especially in eye diseases like cataracts, is often dismissed as an unrealistic expectation. Yet, emerging research increasingly reveals that dietary interventions, particularly those involving nutrient-dense plant foods, can lead to remarkable improvements in health and longevity. Among these, wheatgrass stands out as a potent ally in the quest for vitality and longevity.

Wheatgrass, the young grass of the common wheat plant Triticum aestivum, has long been celebrated in natural health circles for its nutritional density and potential therapeutic benefits. However, recent scientific investigations are shedding light on its remarkable ability to influence cellular health and potentially reverse certain aspects of aging.

A Glimpse into Wheatgrass's Potential

A groundbreaking study published in the journal Biogerontology in 2005 titled "Aging reversibility: from thymus graft to vegetable extract treatment -- application to cure an age-associated pathology" provided compelling evidence for wheatgrass's ability to reverse lens opacity associated with cataracts.1 The researchers found:

This significant decrease in lens cloudiness over a relatively short period challenges the notion that cataract progression is an inevitable, irreversible process of aging. The study's authors proposed several mechanisms by which wheatgrass might exert its beneficial effects, including the presence of small regulatory acid peptides, high levels of energetic phosphoric radicals, and antioxidant molecules.

best Homeopathy Treatment for Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition characterized by the loss of pigmentation in certain areas, leading to white or lighter patches on the skin. While conventional treatments offer some options, modern homeopathy provides a holistic approach, aiming to address the root cause and promote natural healing.

What is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a skin condition where melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing melanin (the pigment that gives skin its color), are either destroyed or stop functioning properly. This results in white patches appearing on the skin, which may gradually expand. These patches can develop anywhere on the body, including the face, hands, arms, and legs. While vitiligo isn’t physically harmful, it can deeply affect a person's self-esteem and emotional well-being due to its visible impact on appearance.

Causes of Vitiligo

The exact cause of vitiligo remains unclear, but it is generally associated with an autoimmune response where the immune system mistakenly attacks melanocytes. Some predisposing and precipitating factors include:

Predisposing Factors:

Hormonal imbalances

Family history of vitiligo

Conditions like hypothyroidism, diabetes, alopecia areata, and cancer

Precipitating Factors:

Pressure from tight clothing

Occupational hazards (e.g., exposure to certain chemicals)

Long-term use of certain medications

Symptoms of Vitiligo

White Patches: Discolored areas of skin, which may expand over time.

Hair Discoloration: Hair in affected areas may turn white or gray.

Sun Sensitivity: Affected skin may be more sensitive to sunlight and prone to irritation.

Conventional Treatment for Vitiligo

Conventional treatments primarily focus on managing the symptoms and preventing the spread of white patches. These include:

Corticosteroid Creams: Used to reduce inflammation and promote repigmentation.

PUVA Therapy: Combining psoralen (a plant-based compound) with UVA light to stimulate pigment production.

Skin Grafting: Transplanting healthy skin to affected areas in severe cases.
