Scientists find a protein block regrows knee cartilage in mice and human tissue
- ck2 3mo agonote the same protein signaling also inhibits muscle growth, reverses when blocked actual study: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adx6649 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adx6649

- ck2 3mo agoI'd bet it will work since it worked on human tissue but there will be unintended side-effects with other muscle and organ growth that will be unacceptable that protein sounds like nature evolved some kind of rate-limiter but it's fascinating they found it maybe it can be safely used for short spurts like a couple weeks at a time (and I also bet it will become a performance-enhancing drug WADA has to test for)
