Title: Breakthrough device heals organs with a single touch
Post by: ghi on August 12, 2017, 08:31:59 PM
Very intelligent people in Ohio ; what a useful device discovered for the good of humanity; :rock
"Researchers have developed a device that can switch cell function to rescue failing body functions with a single touch. The technology, known as Tissue Nanotransfection (TNT), injects genetic code into skin cells, turning those skin cells into other types of cells required for treating diseased conditions."

Better be careful screwing with DNA. My brother is a bioengineer, and from everything I've gathered, the most likely result if you make the slightest mistake is just a butt-load of cancer.

I was thinking this'll actually become the most effective treatment for cancer, myself.

This was invented back in the early 80's. here is Proof
I was thinking this'll actually become the most effective treatment for cancer, myself.
The problem with a "cure for cancer" is that every cancer is unique (probably, statics say there'll be duplicates here and there, but only after millions of cases).
Meaning one would have to tailor a genetic modification-based cure for each cancer, regardless of delivery methodology.
Until genetic modification becomes common place, it's likely to be incredibly costly, even if it's more effective (of which there is no guarantee).
In fact, I'd venture to say that a "cure" for cancer may actually be nothing but a pipe dream for centuries. Better to find more effective treatment and removal methods.

Every cancer is unique and yet every cancer is similar (how else does it spread so rapidly through many of its victims?). Genetic medicine is the next logical step towards treatment. Advances in medicine can be (and often have been) financed through government funding. Treatment (when experimental medicine becomes accepted as common) can be, as well. I support universal healthcare. (I'm not going to say anymore on that since it's a political hot spot - though it really shouldn't be.)
Not all treatments are cures but treatments can lead to longevity even if the disease persists.
We've both lost loved ones. Though I wished advances came sooner I still want the advances to succeed (even if the disease someday takes me). My pragmatism shouldn't give way to all out pessimism.
Every breakthrough excites me.

Japanese researchers have developed a technique of using your own cells to create a cell sheet that can be set over worn out knee cartilage after a hole is opened into the marrow where active cartilage growth cells are. Those cells leak out under the cell membrane and regrow cartilage. They are about to go into a two year human trial. It has been used as an experimental procedure for a few years which the success rate has helped it be passed on to human trials.

using virus to kill cancer is a novel idea that is still explored today.

I knew a lady like that once too! She just laughed at me and called it P.E. :bolt:

If they can fix the body reprogramming the cells with a chip is another argument pro matrix hologram reality we trapped in . Well at least our "material " body ; now they will come with few patches like Hitech in game , fix all the glitches/diseases and make us timeless ,immortal. :rock
