My mom is 76 and she had a virus ruin one of corneas. I wish this was already a common practice but I doubt she will be able to benefit from this. If your eye is irritated and redness doesn't go away for days - visit your doctor.
Tangentially-related: the recurrent corneal erosion that I've been managing (painfully and unsuccessfully) for a decade has finally seen some measure of remission after I started self-treating with Fingerprick Autologous Blood. It's what it says on the tin: I use a blood testing fingerprick to draw a few drops of blood, which I insert under my eyelid. Blink. Done. Not even a month and half with a bandage contact lens…

Please refrain from posting deliberately misleading and inflammatory statements here. The studies in question involve administering hormonal treatments to mice to investigate health outcomes relevant to humans, not altering the gender identity of mice. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-tr...

The posted article was about research to cure blindness with stem cells. The top comment implied that such research was being defunded. I asked for an example that was not about defunding research on transgender mice. The only examples provided were for research that was confused with transgender research. So it seems that Doge is not cutting research for curing blindness and the like but only for transgender and som…
Amazing!

$455,000: “A Mouse Model to Test the Effects of Gender-affirming Hormone Therapy on HIV Vaccine-induced Immune Responses
You realize a lot of hormones could be classified as gender-affirming, right? Testosterone therapy would be gender-affirming for most men. Huge numbers of women take progesterone. Many, many others hormones reinforce gender-associated behaviours and physiology. No one thinks anything of it until someone is taking it for reasons they don’t approve of. But we could manipulate all kinds of studies we don’t agree with be…

Is there any medical studies on this or how did you know to try it? What’s going on at the biomolecular level?
