I’m replying to a pending post, I bet this will generate a bug if improperly handled…

anyway, speaking of languages, a few more replies and we better shift to Japanese or Mandarin as we will be writing vertically :-D

I can prove it wrong in the original language as well :-) In fact this is why I insist on never reading or watching translated / transcribed / dubbed / interpreted material, because then I not only HAVE to correct the author, but the translator as well ! I’ve learnt Russian before indulging in Dostoyevsky.

You should be Mr. you should definitely be. Don’t you want to last long enough to last forever? (or something to that effect)

thanks! =)

It appears that the answer to aging and to stopping cellular senescence has already been found, see the Villeda paper from Nature last year.

That quote was a translation from a language in which this is not the case.Therefore, your point is none.

I case you did not notice, I was not serious about that stuff.

Have a nice day ;)

Thanks, though what made it fun was how the term “exactly” exacerbated the contrast between certainty and the uncertainty at the end.
At least that is what my humor chip detected and it can be faulty sometimes, as you can see.

“hard” may sometimes be used as a synonym for “dense”, so yes, I agree.
Yes.
Yes.
Non sequitur.

what was it again?
**consumes some low quality fluoride saturated Camellia Sinensis tea leaves**
Oh, now I recall… the original article gives us 2 matches:

1) “…exactly the same rules as in senescing fibroblasts, the cells which divide in the skin to repair wounds.” or;
2) “…exactly the same rules as in senescing fibroblasts.”

I for one would like to thank our dear editor for removing those wasteful redundancies very much.

Ah!!!! yup, soon we will fix those aged neurons that easily!

obviously a few aged neurons there…. :) fixed

I find it interesting that the cells that we love to use in making pluripotent stem cells follow the same course in aging. It indicates that the underlining mechanism is the same for all cells. Find the answer for one and you can stop aging in the all.

That which does not kill us makes us harder!Flouride?Like in toothpaste?You mean I should stop brushing my brain? Hm, always felt a little bit odd afterwards.

So on topic: Yeah green tea helps. and so do blueberries.

I had a better one, but can’t find it.

Maybe our brains need to be bathed in it.

Say, wasn’t green tea supposed to stop these free radicals?

By the way, while we are busy being so forgetful, could our Editor Angelica give us an update on the collections for Kim Suozzi?

I can’t remember either. Damn, I’m getting old.

The article says:

What is the end of that sentence??

“…aging in neurons follows exactly the same rules as in… uh, I forgot.”
