Now that The Won has been elected Christopher Reeves really could walk...

[decimon]

thank God for the Asians....I know its racist but they as a race are dang smart...

Certainly having their day in the sciences. Doing the work Americans won't do.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Good stuff....thanks for the ping.

[decimon]

Now that The Won has been elected Christopher Reeves really could walk...

I forgot about that.

"Feel the healin' power of my change!"

I for one am not ashamed to admit to superiority in various aspects of the human race....blacks are great athletes...asians are highly intelligent....europeons have a history of art and music....

actually, europeon stock used to be highly intelligent...but I think we've breeded downward.....anyone agree?

[decimon]

...europeons...

Euro peon surely describes my heritage.

I don't believe that intelligence is understood or can be measured. Some genetic stocks, like those of China, have had periods when they've seemed the smartest of peoples and periods when they've seemed among the dullest.

Given a choice between total paralysis and some tumors that might well kill me, well ~ tumors gotta’ row!

[squarebarb]

breeded = bred.

Grandma Squarebarb the snarky Grammar Nun.

Agreed. Kick the can down the road. Tumors can be treated, and at lease I'd be able to friggin' walk into the clinic!

[muawiyah]

These are Americans ~ who happen to be of Asian origin.

What you must always remember is that much of East Asia has been so nasty for so long that only the smartest folks could escape ~ and here they are.

I take the ambition some have to bring in more millions of uneducated and ineducable Latinos to be based in some sort of strange anti-Asian demiurge. The pro-illegal alien crowd want to destroy the system that has provided us with the smart people for the last three centuries.

[Smokin' Joe]

You’re Welcome, Ernest!

[Quix]

THX FOR THE PING.

INTERESTING.

[Smokin' Joe]

You’re Welcome, Quix!

[Grizzled Bear]

Maybe one day that might be possible... and then applied as a cure for stupidity.

The difference between genius and stupidity is genius has limits.

regenerative medicine ping!

PTEN deletion enhances the regenerative ability of adult corticospinal neurons

I linked the whole article from the link after the end of the abstract.

http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nn.2603.html

A PTEN inhibitor might do the trick. Two other threads have mtor as a keyword, one each from decimon and me.

[bitt]

I nominate Charles Krauthammer as the first recipient (after it is perfected, of course..)

The man is brilliant.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[cycjec]

Don’t apologize

[cycjec]

It’s the other humans who have custody, etc. or other
authority over the handicapped who must be kept in control

[editor-surveyor]

UCI badly needs this boost, after all the disastrous publicity from their bone marrow transplant program.

Way to go guys!
