Yet, this somewhat dangerous process has to occur in order for it to grow. Some die during the molt or in the immediate aftermath, before their soft bodies harden again.Continue reading “Biology Of Longevity: Surviving The Molt — Lessons From The Lobster”

RE-POST: “Sound waves convert stem cells into bone in regenerative breakthrough” — RMIT
“Regrowing or replacing bone lost to disease is tricky and often painful. In a new study Australian researchers have found a relatively simple way to induce stem cells to turn into bone cells quickly and efficiently, using high-frequency sound waves.” — Read on newatlas.com/medical/sound-waves-stem-cells-bone/ YES! I’ve been writing about sound tech the past couple years,Continue reading “RE-POST: “Sound waves convert stem cells into bone in regenerative breakthrough” — RMIT”
