Well, I think that stem cells could be part of that, I would say, equation.
So we can have stem cells then that are
tuning up every organ in our body, right?
And not just for regeneration or recovery, but also we can grow organs.
Like that's a new thing where people, scientists are now growing, like even 3D printing human organs.
And so it's like, oh, your heart's giving out.
We're going to grow a new organ.
It's from your own cells.
So you're not going to have that rejection, you know, that rejection type of phenotype that happens.
So this organ regrowing thing is really cool where you're basically going to get a tune up.
Oh, I need a new liver.
It's not working.
At the end of the day, I need to inject some neural stem cells in my brain because I'm losing
You know, my brain's atrophying.
I'm losing cells in my brain.
So I do think that's all on the horizon.
Well, if you're looking at, for example, brain mass, yes.
I mean, if you see that you're injecting stem cells and now you're growing new neurons in the hippocampus, part of your brain, which is involved with learning and memory.
then that would be something that you can measure.
By the way, exercise can regrow brain cells in your hippocampus as well.
