Good news, they find a treatment regimen that when applied to mice cause them to have a health span several times longer than the average health span of a mouse.

Bad news, the treatment regimen when applied to humans causes them to have a health span several times longer than the average health span of a mouse.

Twist: It was all relative to the life span of a lab mouse, whos life is a living hell in nine out of ten cases.

Meaning... the results will only confirm that there are controlling substances that will allow a populace to endure literal torture, and enable the rich to literally take over the world NOT for efficacy but for sheer chemical complacency.

Oh look, it's vice.com, so presumably these 'scientists' are from the University of Joe Rogan or U of Y(outube) or something.

They do link to the actual study, which does not throw up any immediately obvious signs to be cautious for me, but I also couldn't do the detailed work of deeper research myself. They reference a hypothesis that preceded the study, which they were trying to test with this. I don't know if this is a case of bias or even manipulation at work, but at least at a superficial glance, it doesn't immediately scream "total hacks doing unscientific things."

Well, I’m definitely going to stop then.

Please be a "yes," please be a "yes..."

Edit: WOO! It's a "looks that way in cell cultures so far!"🥳

I haven't gone looking forthe souce paper, but from the article it looks like seretonin was the actual compound that's having a beneficial effect, specifically serotonin outside the brain.

[–] Mastema@infosec.pub 3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

If you do happen to find it, please post a link. I'll go looking also.

Never mind. It was linked in the article.The paper in question.

So how is a psychedelic pulling this off? The secret could be serotonin receptors found throughout the body, not just in the brain. When activated, they seem to trigger a cascade of effects that reduce stress, preserve DNA, and promote long-term cell health.

They're talking about psilocin's activity at serotonin receptors, I'm pretty sure

[–] notabot@piefed.social 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It's a bit ambiguous, so you could be right, but I took it to mean that activation of the receptors was that active mechanism, regardless of cause. Psilicin is just the compound they're focused on, and maybe it does activate them in some unique way that has this effect, but the summary didn't make that clear.

If there are alternative pathways to activate the receptors they may be better suited to thereputic use without the psycadelic side effects.

Sure just take the fun out of it why don't you

Oooh, yeah... reread it more carefully... wellp! At least we do get some of that from 'shrooms!:))) Partial win!:)))

Who the fuck wants to live longer?

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 14 hours ago

living longer is often correlated with staying healthy for longer, and that's a nice thing i guess

[–] TerranFenrir@lemmy.ca 21 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Me. I want to see more sunrises.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

i want to outlive the last fascist

[–] OrganicMustard@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

You don't have to live longer, just make it happen sooner

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 hours ago

that's where the workouts enter the picture

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 14 hours ago

don't fight fire with fire.

fight fire by erecting as many dams and walls as can be reasonably constructed and then go hide in a bunker or under the roots of the yggdrasil tree or sth please

When I see this regime and the new plane trump is going to get I am not reminded of the abandoned Soviet shuttle and realize that no "great" things last and one day his plane will be sitting in a warehouse falling apart and gathering dust

Slowing cell aging could mean better health for longer, even if you don't die (much) later.
