Dr. Jean Hebert: Progressive Brain Tissue Replacement and How we Beat Aging!

[@perroblanco4]

very fascinating. just wow.

[@chlve]

I really hope i can get this in my lifetime, regardless if it increases my lifespan or not. I got brain inflamation during covid and am now suffering long covid symptoms from permenant brain damage due to the loss of neurons per my psychiatrist's assesment. This would be a game changer and id love to be able to experince life to the fullest free from the dull experience ive been having since i got sick

We re in the same boat...100% agree!

I'm 39. When I was an postgraduate I always assumed that replacing all of our body parts via organ cloning would be how aging would be addressed, but I always asusmed it was just a matter of replacing the central organs and using stem cell transplants to fix things like muscles, leaving cancer and Alzheimer's to be dealt with pharmaceutically. I never knew about the extra cellular matrix, so I must say some of these videos have proven to be quite infromative (as well as reassuring).

I think being reassured seems a little premature. Hopeful.

[@greenstar2108]

@@Dan-dy8zp - perhaps. We'll see in 5-7 years I suppose.

Can this tech be built (by non-AI) before AGI/ASI arrives? I foresee the latter before 2030. The former, not so much... I'd go all-in on AI, myself.

My hunch is the brain structure will need to be replicated more precisely than a layer cake. It will 'mostly work' till he tries to do anything bilateral and then . . . big problems. But mouse models will certainly reveal that long in advance. Picture a robotic surgery that instead consists of little needles full of stem cells, layered so the right stem cell type reaches exactly the right area, like the Parkinson example but with thousands of injections through a dozen tiny bore holes, guided by ai using ultrasound. Do a hundred of these minimally invasive surgeries over 30 years.
