My immediate first thought on reading the headline.

Apparently you, rossdavidh, and I are all on the same wavelength.

#5this above article is kind of inflammatory, however, this paper is incredibly interesting.
I read it this morning and the concept of changing CSF in order to have an increase in oligodendrocyte progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation is such a creative idea; a lot of the idea has focused on increasing flow in order to move waste, etc with csf. I think this concept that CSF is also acting as an important mechanism to moving factors that will cause up regulation, etc, is very novel.
honestly one of my favourite papers in the last five years, I am obsessed.

It's a new market for Jiffylube.

#7Just don't do it to the Eldians.
In all seriousness, I wonder if this can be synthesized. A transport layer for brain conductivity, just replace the fluid. Maybe create an even better fluid than what the young hosts have.

It'll always creep me out that medical vampirism is a thing.

I mean there's a Silicon Valley episode where Gavin has a "blood boy."
