The future is already here. It's just not evenly distributed:
The polyhydroxylated fullerene derivative C60(OH)24 protects mice from ionizing-radiation-induced immune and mitochondrial dysfunction. : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19914272 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19914272
- fsloth 9y agoWhat the... where did this idea of injecting hydrolyzed fullerenes come from? Fantastic that it works, but coming up with the idea in the first place sounds completely bonkers (in a good way).
- narrator 9y agoThey did a study a while back to see if fullerenes were toxic in mice and they doubled the mice life span. Lots of research outside of the U.S after that. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0142961212003237 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0142961212... Nobody cares about this kind of research in the U.S because it's a synthetic substance that's not patentable.
- fsloth 9y agoThat's amazing! I had no idea of this result.
