To be clear, GPT created the chart.

The secret: using MATLAB code (generated by GPT itself) with GPT to create a chart. (I figured it out myself 😂). The axis needs a bit of adjustment… but that’s just a detail. 🙌

This is my new wish, sending it out into the universe:

An artificial intelligence platform to simulate human biological responses to an experimental treatment, from phase 1 to phase 4 of clinical trials. 🧞‍♂️

Could boron cluster anions

Def: a technique to bring functional proteins into cells, gently and without damaging membranes and was tested on simple proteins.

be used with CRISPR-Cas9 (gene-editing molecular scissors)? 🤔 And could it be tested or modeled in silico?

I’ll try to write my first article about my project Modeling Cellular Homeostasis and Longevity and publish it on arXiv. (I’m supposedly on a break, but it feels more like I have to work twice as hard!😅)

💡This direct conversion method offers a promising alternative to traditional approaches involving iPSCs, simplifying the process and reducing the risks associated with cellular differentiation. 💡Could the same process be done for other critical cells involved in longevity? 🤔🤩

MIT engineers turn skin cells directly into neurons for cell therapy MIT researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord injuri...

Autologous therapies could be the key to biological replacement, very interesting news! 🤩🤩 👏👏👏

They converted a single skin cell into over ten differentiated neurons, which integrated into the host tissue after implantation in mice. news.mit.edu/2025/mit-eng...

This model could help identify the most practical/easiest modifications.

To scientifically validate the accuracy of our model, we plan to test it against large datasets from thousands of mammals and animals. By comparing the model’s predictions with real biological data. 3/3

to identify homeostatic strategies (biological balance) that promote longevity.

AND…🧐
To assess how this model applies biologically.

Key insight: If different pathways lead to the same result, some cellular modifications in humans may be easier to apply.

Why it matters…2/3

Here is what we are currently working on and why:

Modeling cellular homeostasis and longevity through a mathematical model integrating multiple biological parameters:

- telomere length
- DNA repair
- immune function
- cellular metabolism
- oxidative stress

The goal is… 1/3

The potential of these cells is immense, and we are excited to continue this research. (10/10)

For those who want to delve deeper into the topic, here are the two recent studies that have influenced our research:

Study 1: MSCs and knee regeneration
journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Study 2: MSCs and optic nerve repair in glaucoma
journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
(9/10)

We are now exploring how far MSCs can go in rejuvenating different parts of the body. Their immune compatibility and regenerative power make them truly fascinating!

Regenerative medicine is evolving fast! MSC research brings us one step closer to future breakthroughs in healing and longevity.(8/10)

What’s remarkable is that MSCs don’t just replace damaged cells, they stimulate repair and regeneration, particularly in nerve-related injuries. Their potential in neurodegenerative diseases is fascinating! (7/10)

Another study suggests that MSCs could be a safer approach than epigenetic reprogramming to slow glaucoma progression and support vision. However, they don’t restore vision in the same way. (6/10)

In this study, the MSCs were even genetically modified to treat a specific condition.

But what interests us the most is that they were rejuvenated before being reintroduced into the body. This opens up incredible possibilities. (5/10)

MSCs have been studied for knee repair! One study showed that injecting MSCs into damaged joints promoted cartilage regeneration and improved mobility.

The results showed improved joint function and reduced pain. (4/10)

One amazing property of MSCs: they bypass the immune system! This means donor stem cells can be used without major rejection risks, making them ideal for regenerative medicine. (3/10)

I truly admire your work! 👏👏

MSCs can be obtained from umbilical cords or grown in labs, but most studies use umbilical cord MSCs for a simple reason: they are more cost-effective.

What makes them truly fascinating is how they interact with the human body. (2/10)

Exciting news from our research on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their potential for rejuvenation. Recent studies on these cells have helped advance our work on their regenerative applications.

Here’s why these discoveries are so important. (1/10)

Hi! 🙃

Predictions for AI in 2025: Collaborative Agents, AI Skepticism, and New Risks Leading Stanford faculty offer their expectations for artificial intelligence in the new year.

My @stanfordhai.bsky.social colleagues and I predict #AI trends in 2025 hai.stanford.edu/news/predict...

My take: we will see many more multi-agent AI teams, instead of individual models, for tackling complex problems like those in science.

3/3 I was thinking that if we could reintroduce younger cells into our body from rejuvenated stem cells, we could also, with these kinds of minimally invasive technologies, target and destroy older cells. But, well, I said this without having investigated the matter in detail. 🤷‍♀️🙃😉

2/3 For instance, in cases of significant weight loss. Of course, clinical trials would likely be necessary to explore this possibility, and the process would probably be quite complex. Worth investigating? 🤔

Youngest cancer patient treated with Nanoknife is cancer-free Two-year-old George, from Camden, is the youngest person in the world to have the procedure.

The NanoKnife is a “almost” none invasive technology designed to destroy cancerous cells. An idea came to mind— I wondered if this technology could potentially be applied in aesthetics to target and eliminate excess skin cells. 1/3

Very interesting!

To be able to live young and eternally, or at least until we feel it’s time for it to end, wouldn’t that be an immense treasure? Idk why they don’t see that. And I know it’s possible, we just have to work on it.

Antibodies Could Soon Help Slow the Aging Process The protective proteins in our bodies aren’t just great for fending off infection—they could also fight the effects of getting older.

Me in @wired.com: Antibodies could soon help slow the aging process www.wired.com/story/antibo...

There have been several cool antibody papers recently, and the one where antibodies cleared out aging blood stem cells was particularly amazing. Check out the piece for more!
