A Single Injection to Cure Paralysis? Joe Rogan Responds!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 ноя 2021
- A new study has used a single injection to enable paralyzed mice to walk again, and it’s getting some attention, including from Joe Rogan.
The study was led by Northwestern University’s Samuel Stupp, who is the founding director of the Institute for BioNanotechnology and Center for Regenerative Nanomedicine. According to Stupp, “The aim of our research was to develop a translatable therapy that could be brought to the clinic to prevent individuals from becoming paralyzed after major trauma or disease.”
To accomplish this, researchers used modified peptides that are synthetic analogs of natural proteins. The treatment is injected into the body as a liquid, but soon self-assembles into a gel, which consists of a network of nanofibers similar to the extracellular matrix of the spinal cord. The researchers said that there are more than 100,000 molecules that move within the nanofibers, leading to them being referred to as “dancing molecules”. The study showed that the materials eventually biodegrade and disappear from the body without noticeable side effects.
Stupp says that this paper, which describes a piece of science that he says was truly unknown, is probably the most important he’s ever written. He also says that the researchers are going straight to the FDA to start the process of getting this new therapy approved for use in human patients.
And this is important from a life extension perspective - according to Northwestern University, life expectancy for people with spinal cord injuries is significantly lower than people without them and has not improved since the 1980s. If this is successful, it may not only extend quality of life, but may also lengthen the life expectancy of those dealing with spinal cord injuries.
Popular podcaster Joe Rogan has taken notice, posting to his Instagram to say that “Spinal cord regeneration could one day be a real thing for humans. Limb regeneration is probably going to be a reality one day too. The question is, does it happen before or after they develop synthetic limbs that are superior to biological ones? Artificial Intelligence and the rise of a sentient, completely manufactured, super-intelligent life form are a huge threat to the human race, but I think humans merging with technology and becoming cyborgs might just happen before that.
We all fear change, especially radical, completely transformative change, but it seems pretty likely that this is going to happen.”

Do you think Joe Rogan's predictions for the future are accurate?
Pretty much
Some of us don't want to be cyborgs tho; I'd get extreme dysphoria
@@someguy9301 thans for the information
It's possible to walk again
As a dancer, this injection would mean *everything* if I was in an accident
Medical innovations, even those that aren't directly related to aging and age-related diseases, are critical if the goal is extending healthy human life.
I hope it works on chorionic illnesses too.
This is HUGE - now let's get it into human trials!
Absolutely!
Eagerly waiting for human trials
I asked the national lottery to donate some funds to find cures or epilepsy and spinal injuries. Do the same
How do I sign up for clenical trials? I've been hemiplegic for 9 yrs from a massive stroke, pulmonary embolism& seizure all at once.
where do we sign up for human trails
Well done as always @Ryan O’Shea and the rest of the LSN team! @Joe Rogan has been a popular longevity supporter for at least a decade so it’s nice to see this video. Onwards!
Thank you!
Interesting, hopeful. We will see how it works out. It's just for a long time I have been hearing about the possibilities of this and that only for it to go no where.
Exactly! The news comes in like a comet and fizzles away without an update like melting snow.
@@IDONTLIKETHATSHITthey've expanded animal studies which are showing promising results but people have to remember that to go through the entire FDA process of eventually going to small and then a large cohort on humans requires close to a decade before these things finally get FDA approved. Well probably get updates of it coming to the market 8 years from now and human trials probably 3 4 years from today
When can we sign up for human testing
"Curing" paralysis and preventing it after a major trauma are very different things.
Which one of those phrasings do you feel describes results of this particular study? The mice were paralyzed, then they received this treatment, and then they walked again.
@@LifespanNews This would be more in line with preventive. The mice were 24 hours post lesion. Anyone who has been paralyzed longer develops scar tissue on the nerve fibers which this medicine targets.
Very nice video
This is fantastic news. My wife had the HSCT procedure done in Mexico for her Multiple Sclerosis. It cost 60k US money to do it and it's brought her bladder and bowel system back. Her walking is about the same. Big PHARMA and the FDA is blocking the procedure here and the US. Hopefully this gets to the point of releasing here in the US. Hopefully Big PHARMA doesn't F"ck this up. People are suffering!
which clinic did she get it done?
Please what clinic did she get it done and what’s the result so far
Fda and bf are only good at making money, not helping people. I hear about nervgen since 4years now, not a big progress. Being c6-c8 injured, I was delusional for some time that cure is behind corner. Big guys were busy producing money making bug and special cure for it, for a better future.
Are you still alive?
which clinic?
Amazing if this can be translated to humans!
I got shot in the spine January 9th. I'm really looking forward to clinical trials
I m also
@inayat9253 look up Nervgen
Paralyzed Veteran here (U.S. ARMY Eng., SAPPER). Someone please inform me on how to get the details about this! Thanks
Check out nervgen faced out of Chicago they are doing some kind of human testing as of December 2023 it's some thing similar but I heard he say 12 in process results supposed to be announced in September 2024
@@flawlessvictory2647 were do I join
Shit probably won't be ready for another 100 fucking years.
Then in 50 years, 50 more to go.
They probably make it so astronomical expensive that no one will want it
@@blakerichard7796 Imagine robbing a bank just to get the chance to walk again.
human trial started or not?when it will be available for people?
Hello guys, we are at the end of 2022. Will these injections be used? If anyone knows when they will be used, please tell me because I have been suffering from paralysis for a long time by the way I'm right now I'm living in Minnesota
Hello, actually we don't get any updates for human trials. I'm also waiting for it. Wish it works on human also
I’ve heard it will be this year but I’m not sure
Just this injection and that's it? No some stimulation in advance if a paralyzed person is in this condition for a while?
The injection was tested and it showed success, but the trial only included a certain number of mice with specific injuries so there are still outstanding questions regarding the use of this injection in other situations (or in other species).
So what Stupp said (according to the quote in this video) is that it prevents people becoming paralysed after major trauma: nothing about reversing paralysis in mammals that have been paralysed for a while.
Limb paralysis after stroke?
This treatment for spinal cord injuries is amazing! Not only will it help people with these injuries, but this is the sort of thing that, if successful, will benefit parallel research tracks.
Yes, I agree with Joe Rogan. The race is on. As we develop new means to restore our health, we also develop artificial tissues, organs and limbs. Eventually, when both are available, you may be faced with a choice. Stick with the (rejuvenated) natural organ or replace it with the artificial organ which will be superior in many ways. As this continues, it will become harder and harder to compete with people with natural organs. But, this certainly scares many people, so I shy away from making a big deal about it most of the time. I figure, for now, we need to focus on overcoming disease, injury and aging. Going beyond will come naturally and will gradually become more palatable as we see amputees with superior limbs, people with brain injury with superior cognition, etc..
We hope it will be' anether fuk new

Please don't ever reference Joe Rogan again.
Why?
@@LifespanNews He's one of the kings of pseudo-science and bullshit.
@@LukasBradley Granting that for the sake of argument, those would be reasons to not take medical advice from him, but not reasons to not reference him.
@@RyanOShea00 ROFL. Best wishes with that.
@@LukasBradley
He just interviews various scientists. What's wrong with getting information to people?
