Anyone who takes a drug every day has had this thought and quickly moved past this narrow point of view.
We all want to live long, healthy lives, and whether we like to admit it or not, the human body isn't built to match our modern expectations for longevity. If you plan to live a long and comfortable life, taking multiple drugs every day is in your future. For some of us it comes sooner than it does for others.

Unfortunately it doesn't fix the underlying issue.

but the sentence prior says "it restores protective processes to diseased joints and enables the regeneration of affected tissues." I don't understand how it does if it's just blocking pain signals.

According to the first page of Google,
> Nearly nine in ten (89%) adults 65 and older report they are currently taking any prescription medicine. This compares to three-fourths of 50-64 year olds who report taking prescription drugs, half (51%) of 30-49 year olds, and four in ten (38%) 18-29 year olds.
I, of course, am built different.

#28This is revolutionary!! truly exciting stuff, I wish I read more about these sorts of breakthroughs monthly....I hope we'll get to this level more regularly with AI biology models.

#29The title is misleading. It's not a "cure for Arthritis"; it's a pain killer.
"it restores protective processes to diseased joints and enables the regeneration of affected tissues. It works by blocking a compound that supports the nerve cells involved in transmitting pain signals to the brain." Yes, I guess you could belittle that by calling it 'a painkiller'. No different at all to taking a handful of ibuprofen, which every arthritis sufferer knows enables regeneration and why it is a solved…

i just did a s/cure/beat/ on the title. Possibly the original article changed its headline; they do that sometimes.
