#stem cells impact factor

[do-you-have-a-flag]

sorry to come back to this but this truly fascinates and concerns me for so many reasons

obligatory "Ah sweet. Man-made horrors beyond my comprehension." comment

so first of all: brain organoids. which are grown from human stem cells into just little brains with underdeveloped eyes, they have a lifespan of about 100 days because they are an organ without a system.

these brain organoids are something that have a lot of potential when it comes to studying any number of things. just off the top of my head i would think- the process of human development, disease studies, healing tissue development, foetal and premature development of consciousness, ect ect ect i'm not informed on this type of research so i will freely admit idk.

and they are using 16 at a time as processors with computer chips. okay sure, scifi aside, the structure of an organ being used for it's complexity compared to the limitations of material and efficiency in current technology makes sense. if it helps imagine if a branch or a kidney were hooked up to a computer chip and we found out that it worked as good or better than mechanical processors for a fraction of the energy use. i am also not informed on how most technology works, please keep in mind, but i am also not opposed to the idea of combining these types of technologies in theory. and the biggest downfall currently is short shelf-life of the organoids required.

but the thing is, i think, that this is specifically an early development of a brain, at what point is consciousness defined? there is no sensory system beyond the basic light perception of the eyes and the input to the brain but at what point is the responses automatic and at what point is it complex enough to be aware in some abstract way. this question is one that can be applied to any form of animal of course.... but i think also that it is strange that these organoids are being specifically developed from human stem cells and not any number of other animal as a brain is a brain and at the small scale they are growing these organoids most of the speculative benefits of human logic are irrelevant- they are operating at pre mature infant levels which could just as easily be achieved by any number of apes cells surely?

is there going to be a developmental cut off for these organoids? at what point of biological development is the ethical ick factor for consciousness? because of how stem cells are able to be harvested in a non destructive fashion things like lab grown meat make sense to me- those are consumed but can also offset the requirements for the meat industry- and if these organoids are also grown from stem cells that's great but at what point is making that many to be burnt through as processors a wasteful use when there are other possible avenues of study? the wide commercial release of such experimental tech seems a little risky considering how quickly new technologies are exploited- just look at bitcoin farms and ai scraping- for the sake of profit with no care for ethical implementation or construction or impact.

this is a weird post from me but sorry i just have some questions i want you the person reading this to think about with me, seperate to any deep reading of the science because i wanna focus on the personal reaction to the concepts, (feel free to read the science tho i encourage it) just something to chew on i'm not expecting any philosophically concrete answers:

would you use the brain organoid processor tech if you had the chance?

why?

Why is it important that these have to be grown from human stem cells

where is the line between organ and being/consciousness

let's contend: there is the world (physical) and there is the senses (contact with the physical) and there is the experience (interpretation)

is it the senses or the experience that makes a creature conscious? how complex do the senses need to be before the experience is positive or negative?

where is that experiencial definition? is it as simple as feels good feels bad?

is it the tendency to circulate repeatedly on the same neural pathway? how are those neurological reactions controlled? are they controlled?

how do you feel about scientific testing on humans?

how do you feel about scientific testing on animals?

how do you feel about scientific testing on plants?

how do you feel about scientific testing on fungi?

how do you feel about scientific testing on single celled organisms?

how do you feel about scientific testing on organs?

how do you feel about scientific testing on technology?

what do you consider the line to be for ethical research? is it funding? is it theory versus practice? is it use of information? is it method of data collection? is it intent? is it implementation? is it within a limitation of precedent? is it within a limitation of subject? are there areas you think should be left alone on principle? why?

what level of complexity is required for the question of consent of participant?

where should limitations be imposed on use? why would limitations be necessary? who has the right to information? who has the right to profit?

Who is profiting from these studies? where will this technology be used? who is competing with this technology? what other technologies might this impact? will other technologies using the same concept adhere to the same limitations/ethics?

do you think everyone using the brain organoid based processors for $500pcm are thinking about these questions? should they have to?

disclaimer: i am uneducated and uninformed in the fields of science and technology so this is one hundo percent a personal response to information i have very little context for. But i also think it's important to think actively about technology and avoid complacency about the way it impacts our lives so doing little thought exercises in response to articles like this is, I think, a good thing.

Inducted

Miniature models of anything, whether it’s toy trains or body parts, inevitably have to sacrifice a certain level of detail compared to their full-size counterparts. For organoids – tiny 3D structures grown in the lab to replicate organs and tissues in the body – maximising the amount of natural complexity they can faithfully replicate is a key factor in determining their use for research. Investigations into new pancreas organoids (pictured) revealed distinct structures, such as cells lining transport ducts (blue, top row) or stem cells and progenitor cells (blue, bottom row) needed for cellular repair and maintenance. The presence of these distinct structures means scientists can better study diseases like pancreatic cancer and cystic fibrosis, which affect specific ductal cells, and perhaps even use the platform for pancreatic tissue regeneration after damage, providing a potential platform for testing the impact of drugs and a route to personalised treatments.

The decision to undergo bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in a lymphoma patient is highly personalized and depends on several key factors:

• Histological Subtype: The specific form of lymphoma greatly influences treatment choices. For example, aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma may require BMT.

• Disease Stage: The stage at the time of diagnosis plays a crucial role. BMT is often considered for advanced-stage lymphomas or those that have recurred after initial treatments.

• Response to Previous Therapies: Patients who do not achieve remission or experience a recurrence after traditional therapies may explore BMT as a treatment option.

• Age and Overall Health: The patient's age and general health significantly impact their ability to withstand the demanding BMT process.

• Donor Availability: In the case of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT), locating a compatible donor, typically a sibling or a well-matched unrelated individual, can be a complex undertaking.

A bone marrow transplant can be recommended in other medical conditions besides lymphoma, like leukemia, aplastic anemia, thalassemia, myeloma, and sickle cell disease. You can choose to undergo a bone marrow transplant from some of the best hospitals in Delhi. The cost of bone marrow transplant in Delhi will vary depending on the type and severity of condition being treated and the type of bone marrow transplant being performed.

I am also extremely concerned, for what it is worth, as an academic in a STEM field (neuroscience/behavior/psych I guess/whatever my discipline is now). For the moment, I will focus on science, which is where my career sits, rather than the TEM here. I'm concerned on two different axes, each of which bother me enough to go hunting for people to yell at.

I am bothered because you guys do you see the harms that are wrought by this level of bad science. I remember one paper that was purporting to discover the "genetic basis of homosexuality", championed by a gentleman who was sure that this was an inherently great discovery, which was adapted into a Ugandan-based "determine how gay you are from your genotype data!" app three weeks after publication. These harms can be fast, and what's more, they persist long after bad work is debunked.

I am bothered, and frankly rather infuriated, by what is lazy thinking and poor understanding of data, which is extremely common and actively blocks our advancement of understanding the natural world.

Have a specific example below the cut.

Consider this paper, which I discovered on this afternoon's lit review as I try and work on this benighted grant. It is both offensively thoughtless and it fails to consider some fairly obvious perspectives that would have informed its silliness. For example, it begins by claiming that ob/ob mice, which do not produce the hormone called leptin that is secreted from fat cells in most animals, are a good analogue for "obesity-derived mental disorders".

This is science without a care for its impacts: why in the hell are you claiming that obese people are inherently mentally ill? Did you do any work to establish that correlation? (No.) Did you consider the well known impacts of weight gain deriving from many, many medications used to control mental illness? (No.) Do you think there might be a problem with asserting that mental illness derives from the biological state of obesity rather than any of the thousands of other factors that might drive such a correlation if you bothered to demonstrate one? As researchers, our conclusions are picked up by media members who skim the article briefly and then run with them; it is therefore our duty to be careful with how we present and describe our findings so that, say, people don't dismiss the insights of fat people by writing them off as 'crazy' or 'irrational.' Because people do in fact do that with respect to mentally ill people, and they shouldn't get that response either but they do and so it's important to be careful about how we describe our work.

The paper is also, bluntly, intellectually lazy as all hell. It refers (semi-incorrectly) to DeepLabCut as "Artifical Intelligence" (it's a machine learning software that does nothing that could even be mistaken for intelligence) and compares the computer-generated outputs of DLC to Ethovision, a software that was considered sort of outdated and hokey ten years ago when I was in graduate school. Its assays of behavior are simplistic and don't consider other potential explanations for its findings. It is intellectually non-rigorous and does not illuminate our understanding of either leptin or mental illness, because it is not thoughtful about its correlations and it does not test alternate hypotheses of any kind.

There is too much of this work out there, but lazy data in service to preconceptions held by huge swathes of people winds up getting through peer review and framed as "knowledge" anyway. It makes me so angry. So angry.

Also, man, I wonder if that dude's wife knows what he thinks of her. What a prize she's won. Poor woman, I hope she finds someone who thinks more kindly of her than that soon.

Exosome therapy for hair loss involves injecting a highly concentrated solution of exosomes directly into the scalp, where hair thinning or bald spots are present. The exosomes, which are derived from mesenchymal stem cells, contain a variety of growth factors that have regenerative properties.

Once injected, these exosomes deliver vital nutrients and proteins to the hair follicles, which stimulate the hair growth cycle and help to regenerate dormant follicles. The key to their effectiveness lies in their ability to promote increased circulation to the scalp, improve nutrient absorption, and encourage the activation of hair follicles that have ceased producing new hair.

Exosomes also help improve the overall health of the scalp, creating an ideal environment for new hair to grow. This makes the therapy effective not only for hair regrowth but also for improving scalp conditions such as dryness, dandruff, and inflammation.

Why is Exosome Therapy Gaining Popularity in Dubai?

Dubai is a city known for embracing the latest innovations in health, beauty, and wellness, and exosome therapy is no exception. As the demand for non-surgical, effective solutions for hair loss continues to rise, exosome therapy is becoming increasingly popular for several reasons:

The specialist will evaluate your scalp and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. During this consultation, you will also learn about the expected outcomes and potential results.

2. The Treatment Procedure

On the day of the procedure, the scalp will be thoroughly cleaned. Local anesthesia may be applied to ensure that you are comfortable during the treatment. Using fine needles, the exosome solution will be injected into the targeted areas of the scalp. The process typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.

3. Post-Treatment Care

After the procedure, there is little to no downtime. Some patients may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, but this usually subsides within a few hours. There are no significant restrictions on daily activities, and most individuals can return to their normal routine immediately.

It is recommended to avoid washing your hair for 24 to 48 hours after the procedure to allow the exosomes to be fully absorbed by the scalp. The treatment results will gradually become more noticeable over time, with full results appearing within 3 to 6 months.

Conclusion

I think part of the reason genius is recognised in the STEM fields over the humanities is not just because humanities are looked down upon but also because it's a lot easier to tell

Like at the point which most people drop off from the STEM fields there are just universally accepted facts in the fields with only one right way to do something, 2+2=4, the sky is blue, this code will give you that output and the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell (beyond basic level though it becomes more subjective, like every discipline, the experts are professionally fist fighting each other over their pet theories, but to most people the STEM fields deal in objective truths)

Whereas the humanities is just more layered from entry, because to get a good grade in the humanities you have to have good reading comprehension, be good at writing, and know the subject, so there are more skills intertwined with every response, the STEM fields can have multiple choice questions, the humanities survive on essays

And then they are also just so much more subjective, there is no right answer, there never was and the humanities make that clear the moment you walk in the room, from basics you are arguing with your classmates about the importance of the weather in Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, what you think had the biggest impact on a country's economy, and - the one I covered the most - what factors led to the second world war (4 years I can't get back and somehow we never managed to properly cover the persecution of minorities cause it was all about the lead up but never the consequences)

You can't just look at the problem and be told they came to the right conclusion and then be impressed that they did that very complicated equation

You have to look at their answer, understand the argument, and either agree or respect it

So it's a lot harder for an onlooker to objectively perceive their genius

And to be clear, this doesn't make any subject superior it just means that genius comes in many forms and we sometimes overlook it

Difficulty breathing or coughing, particularly in cervical injuries.

Loss of bowel or bladder control.

Beyond physical symptoms, many individuals with spinal injuries experience significant psychological challenges, including depression and anxiety, due to lifestyle and independence changes.

Treatment Options for Spinal Cord Injuries

While there is currently no cure for spinal cord damage, treatments aim to prevent further injury and improve quality of life. The main treatment approaches include:

1. Emergency Care

Immediate medical intervention is critical to stabilize the spine and minimize further damage. Emergency measures may include:

Immobilization with a brace or backboard.

Surgical removal of bone fragments.

Medications to reduce swelling.

2. Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is essential for recovery and typically involves:

Physical Therapy: Exercises to strengthen muscles and improve mobility.

Occupational Therapy: Training in adaptive techniques for daily activities.

Psychological Counseling: Support to address emotional challenges.

3. Medications

Corticosteroids are often administered shortly after injury to reduce inflammation and swelling. Additional medications, such as pain relievers and muscle relaxants, are commonly prescribed to manage symptoms.

4. Advanced Therapies

One promising advancement is spinal cord injury stem cell therapy, which involves using stem cells to repair or regenerate damaged spinal cord tissue. While still experimental, early research shows potential for improving mobility and sensation.

5. Surgical Interventions

Surgery may be required to stabilize the spine, remove bone fragments, or relieve pressure on the spinal cord. Advances in minimally invasive techniques have made these procedures safer and recovery quicker.

Visualizing the Impact: Spine Injury Pictures

Medical consultations often utilize spine injury pictures to provide a clearer understanding of the damage. These images can illustrate compression, fractures, or misalignments, helping patients and caregivers better comprehend the injury and its treatment requirements.

Prognosis and Recovery

The prognosis for spinal cord injuries depends on several factors, including the severity and location of the injury, the individual’s age and overall health, and the timeliness of treatment. While complete recovery is rare in severe cases, partial recovery of motor or sensory function is possible with early and intensive rehabilitation. Support systems—comprising medical professionals, family, and peer networks—are crucial for both emotional and physical recovery. Assistive devices such as wheelchairs, braces, or electronic stimulation systems can significantly enhance independence and quality of life.

Conclusion

Spinal cord injuries are complex and challenging conditions requiring a multidisciplinary approach for treatment and recovery. From understanding the causes and symptoms to exploring advanced therapies like stem cell treatments, staying informed is crucial for making well-rounded care decisions. Though the journey may be arduous, advancements in medical science and rehabilitation techniques offer hope and improved outcomes. care about is affected, reaching out to Spine Specialists in Mumbai and support networks is the first step toward navigating life after a spinal cord injury.        Contact Dr. Priyank Patel , Best Spine Surgeon in Mumbai at Spine Clinic in Mumbai
