Links to some internet flotsam that I am sharing with you
4 min readFeb 13, 2023
These data that I am sharing with oyu were collected during early January 2023. I scan and read lots of information, some I put into an archive that I can refer back to when needed. I hope you might see something that interests you. In the graphic below I don’t feel bound by only one mental emoji.

“After a certain number of divisions — known as the Hayflick limit — the cells in our bodies stop dividing, becoming senescent. Stressors such as toxic chemicals can also make cells become senescent…Extending the Hayflick limit could be useful for growing cells for research or for treating people. Sheetz plans to start selling ultrasound devices to other labs so they can try this.
His team also treated entire animals by placing mice aged between 22 and 25 months in warm water deep enough to cover at least half of their bodies, because ultrasound waves lose less power travelling through water than they do through air. Mice treated with ultrasound improved in physical tests compared with mice that were put in the warm water but weren’t given ultrasound.”
