Yamanaka-san @Yamanaka_ARC, Pachi @HYPER_pachi, Congratulations on the launch of MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls! And thank you for sending me a copy of the game. #MARVELTokon#: Fighting Souls as servers go live: Aug. 6 – 8:00 AM PDT Aug. 6 – 11:00 AM EDT Aug. 6 – 4:00 PM BST Aug. 6 – 5:00 PM CEST Aug. 7 – 12:00 AM JST

CiRa's President Yamanaka (President of Sumitomo Pharma's key research partner) paper from 2011: Modeling familial Alzheimer's disease with induced pluripotent stem cells Similarly to the 2000 Yamanaka paper scandal, a user by the name of David Sholto noted similarity within 2 images of the paper of which Yamanaka is listed as an author.

I just cloned myself...as a newborn With this clone, I can: + become my own blood boy + test therapies on the clone + grow organs for transplantation + develop new treatments + inject young cells This baby-bryan lives in a petri dish for now. This may be scary to some people…a dystopian future. But, for others, they will see it as the inevitable future of health. Clinical trials are already using this technology to restore dopamine neurons for Parkinson's, heart health and eyesight. The process > blood draw > my cells were extracted > yamanaka factors applied > reset epigenetic age > restoring them to an embryonic-like state Why? > these cells are now pluripotent > can be differentiated into hundreds of cell types > i.e. neurons, cardiomyocytes, retinal cells, etc > allowing me to rebuild my body > organ by organ > repairing lost eyesight or hearing > restoring kidney, liver or lung function > repairing skin damage > there’s no real limitation in imagining > my body will accept them bc they’re my cells > foreign cells are at risk of being rejected As cells age, they accumulate epigenetic errors compounding into dysfunction and disease. This technology gives us a path to reverse aging. I mentioned getting diagnosed with an incurable disease is one of the best things that has happened to me in a long time. It’s opened up a frontier of new paths to repair and strengthen the body. This is the first example.

launching rectoandverso, an experiment where i write (very long form) essays the same way i write software. i architect, outline, then fire off a bunch of agents to research, write, and review. after the first draft is done, i iterate with ai line by line, paragraph by paragraph, and sometimes even rearchitect the whole thing until im happy with the end result. ive always found writing to be the best way to learn, with a side benefit of helping others to learn as well. and now i can do this 5-10x faster with agents. my main area of interest these days is frontier bio. the first topic is yamanaka factors. enjoy.
