I love watching Ted talks about medicine. For the sake of the future. Like, the other day I saw a guy talking neurosurgery with photocuring(Can't quite remember the name), it was about planting a seed into a brain, which would then target specific areas, affected by disease, and would essentially allow us to turn them "off" just by exposing that part to light. And every time I hear something like this, it makes me so happy that our children and grandchildren may never witness horrors of slowly losing their beloved ones to brain infection or, in case of this video, to cancer. All because some man thought outside of the box, and invented new ways of curing something. Medics are demigods, I swear on me mum.

Inspiring talk for this girl(me) who wants to make a new world with research

My undergraduate studies were focused on biological systems and treatments using novel drugs. I worked with many different types of novel drugs. There were many drugs that were previously tested by other facilities but did not produce the theorized results. We noticed that there was a possibility they interacted with what we were working with and thought to use them in our studies. Sometimes they worked but often we published papers demonstrating there was no relation. This taught me exactly what Mr. Mukherjee is explaining. We need to open our minds up to other ideas of treating disease. Since starting my post graduate work, I’ve been excited to learn about the development of treating some cancers with your own immune system. It’s so cool to see how well this Ted talk has aged when it comes to the question of “Could your medicine be a cell, not a pill?” To quickly summarize this idea, your bodies immune system is “taught” what each other cell “looks like.” It’s true that cancer cells are your own cells but they can have many different mutations that alter their outer proteins. They’ll look similar to your own cells but different enough that it’s possible the train your immune system to target and destroy those cells. From my understanding, modern day medicine is coming the ideas of “Could your medicine be a cell, not a pill?” and “Could your medicine be an environment?” It would be easy to just say “ramp up the immune system to full capacity” if it meant getting rid of all cancers but that can cause equally dangerous problems. There are internal environmental conditions that cause an up-regulation of your immune system and others that cause a down-regulation. Your body is always balancing the two. Too high and you may end up with an auto-immune disorder while if it’s too low you are vulnerable to opportunistic diseases that can kill you. It’s really exciting to be a part of the generation that may have the ability to fully understand the body and create health for everyone. If you’re interested in the above ideas you can search for “CAR T-cell therapy” for a more fulfilling understanding.

If this talk had been given years ago it would have been very impressive. As it is, it's just saying, 'what if we could do these things we've already started doing?' There are already people walking around whose knees have been repaired with stem cells, Joe Rogan makes one well known example. There are researchers already working on making 3d printed organs that can be implanted; Anthony Atala's work has been featured on TED 3 times over the last 5 years. Aubrey de Grey's organisation, SENS, has been researching modifying the body's function to prevent degeneration and restore degenerated function for some time now. These ideas aren't actually all that new. I suppose they might be inspiring to a young med student if they haven't heard of them but I'm really not impressed with the way these ideas are presented if that's the goal.

Each "natural" human death is a step forward in evolution. If our perception of death wasn't as final as it is now, perhaps we would shift our focus from trying to save lives to letting people die in order to evolve as a specie. But, the reality is that we know nothing about mortality, and most people held tight to the last drop of life they got, of course very understandable.

@TheAnnoyingGunner

8 жыл бұрын

+Silver Mirai You die, you're dead, mortality is quite simple and the epitome of "final". Dying doesn't influence evolution directly but indirectly, it simply increases the possibility that someone that is more "fit in the environment", or resistant in the case of infections, will replicate with his kind. But this only works for anything that kills you before you replicated, not for cancer, not for Alzheimers. You'd have to start eugenics right now to get proper results in the important time frame (that is the next 50-100 years), but eugenics are way to toxic to society to think about it. By your own logic, please die.

@SilverMiraii

TheAnnoyingGunner I should mention that death is not important in evolution, but reproduction, for myself I have decided not to reproduce for philosophical reasons, so either if I die or not it doesn't matter, my genes will not be perpetuated, unless some unplanned thing happens.E.g. while having sexual intercourse with your mother, the condom breaks. In any case, you don't fully understand mortality if you think about it as final, biologically speaking the atoms that composes what we call our body is always changing, after we die those atoms remain in the universe, quantitative nothing changes. Only arrangement, bounds breaks, new atomic bounds form. As for our consciousness, no one knows and we can't deduce any theory as higher likely or not, there is no empirical evidence to work with outside statements from people which is not scientific. A good theory could be very well be, if we started existing once, we could exist again, there is no restraints for that, a chance is a chance, if something happens once, there's no reason for it to be prevented to happen again just because it happened once, and vice-versa. People like you who give final verdicts to things that are unscientifically proven are basically why our planet is fucked up, just like your mother. Are these mom insults working on you ? I hope you feel bad.

Silver Mirai I see things from a wide perspective, but that doesn't impair my ability to smell bullshit. Antibiotics wear out, because we eat them as they were vitamins. They get prescribed as precautions, in cases they don't even work or they are not needed as the infection is not serious and could be treated differently. Not even touching the problem of patience compliance. This is the reason why we burnt through most of the available antibiotics. But it is startling that you don't understand why pathogens had the upper hand until we discovered antibiotics. They had the upper hand for thousands of years, hundeds of thousands. For a genetic improvement, you need to reproduce, this happens every 25 years or about 16 in the past with the positive outcomes being marginal. Microorganisms replicate a few hundred thousand times in days, you can't outrun them in terms of genetic evolution. Also, if we beat them we don't beat them due to systemic changes, we beat them due to our antibodies and those we don't inherit. The offspring can absorb antibodies until a few days after it's birth, but after that it is on it's own, the cycle starts anew, the absorbed antibodies decay and don't leave the newborn with ongoing immunity. You know, there was a guy that held similar beliefs to you, he started the second world war. Just mentioning so you recognize on which level you are arguing.

@SilverMiraii

8 жыл бұрын

TheAnnoyingGunner You're raising a good point on the first glance, but then again, you didn't take in account that our bodies are complex, while micro-organisms are simple, we can evolve complex biological general self defense systems to fight infection, we already have one, it fights many things, not perfectly, but with time it can become perfect, no matter how micro-organisms would evolve, if we had a perfect immune system, we wouldn't need antibiotics, even chemotherapy, the immune system has a way to deal with cancer cells right now, it's not perfect, this is why we develop cancer. Micro-organisms have a limit to their evolution, complex macro-organisms do not. This is the one advantage we have over them, the most major one. In the long run, we win. And yes, I agree with the fact that people misuse antibiotics. and yes, we can develop new ways to fight infections, conditions and diseases, but in the long run, we're slowing down our evolution. I'm not saying we should force this on people, just a thought, it's never wrong to want to know the truth, to speculate. I never said I wanna force people to do this. And again, we're talking about not reproducing, not necessarily death. The last part was really uncool of you to say.

@kingwillie206

Silver Mirai - There is no such thing as “a perfect immune system”, at least not a naturally created one, and we don’t have thousands or millions of years to wait for evolution to fix things. For one, the infectious diseases that affect us are capable of evolving many orders of magnitude faster than our immune systems. Evolution is a constant back and forth battle for survival of all organisms, not a linear path that looks out solely for the best interest of humans. Ultimately technology will unlock the physical and mental potential of humans.

Exactly, rightfully the standards for the biotech are extremely high to get into. We have tons of animals studies and in-concept have highly effective therapies. The main problems are first, as said before, the ethics of carrying out these things on humans and second the cost. Europe is slightly less strict about stem cell research compared to FDA so you can see more companies or institutes applying it over there. For the question of immunotherapies for cancer let's say, it's mainly the cost (almost $500k per patient). But I can assure you that the development is really exponential. The bow is getting stretched by the research of over 30-40 years.

A few years ago, a bunch of scientists developed a method to reprogram adult cells into "induced pluripotent stem cells", but while they behave like stem cells they are no actual stem cells. We don't know how they will behave inside the organism on the long term. You can apply stem cells directly to the disrupted tissue, the cells sense the environment they are in and differentiate accordingly. They grow to replace the missing tissue, but of course this only works locally.

@rawstarmusic

TheAnnoyingGunner The banning of stem cell research should be abandoned if your info is correct. I read that stem cells can be taken from the individual himself. Cells from aborted fetus should be allowed again because the parents have decided to kill it. It doesn't matter if it gets buried with all cells in place. So at least with the parents permission it should be allowed. That is more ethical than just throw everything away. The growing of cells seems to be very successful and nature is so kind to let cells take on the right function once in place. To get the bad cells out and the fresh cells take their place is the discovery of the century in medicine. It seems impossible right now. Bacteria know how to do it and to some extent some drugs that reaches everywhere but has no effect in the wrong places but this is living cells so they can't go by the digestive system where they would break down into pieces. I read about successful bone marrow replacement. It's local, closed up in a bone capsule. But cells that should produce body essentials can be spread anywhere. It's a triple Noble Price waiting for that solution but I don't see it. I didn't see the theory of relativity either so it needs a special bright mind because if ever successful it would be a revolution for human medicine.

***** Well, if course no one is hurt if you use the embryonic stem cells of an abortion that is taking place anyways. But then, do you pay the parents a little share for their contribution to medicine and science, practically oiling the palm? This way, you would commercialize the trade with aborted embryons and people would start to abort for money. Which is hugely controversial at the moment. Not that I'd care, we have enough people on the planet already and in my opinion they can sell whatever part of their body they want, including the embryo. I don't attribute legal rights to insentient organisms.

TheAnnoyingGunner For me personally I wouldn't pay a nickel or a dime. They get their abortion done which is what they want. It's bad enough to kill an individual to avoid an unwanted pregnancy. I am for abortion but that is as far as it goes. I would be against an organ industry whereas a donation is good. An aborted is a person doomed by its parents which do not want to give life so that's the edge for me. When it comes to number of people in the world, I never had this "we" opinion myself. Every human life is a whole world to me, basically the opposite of cells where no cell has an individual value. I see so many people here on youtube and everyone is valuable even if "we" could do with much less so I understand it from the inside out. This is because I regard humans as a higher life-form than say a fish or mosquitos. So I'm not a utilitarian where killing of a billion people with a famine or epidemic would free up resources for the others. For utilitarians killing the young would be most efficient and easy since they can't defend themselves. Somehow this thought gets rejected by my emotions.

Strangely, even though I could hear and understand perfectly well everything that SM was saying, it was difficult to avoid reading the subtitles - my eyes were too easily distracted by their presence: just as others might be distracted by a variance in auditory stimuli.

+YouHolli i find your accent funny, i havent even heard you talk but i find it funny already.

I’ve become very pessimistic about curing cancer. About a decade ago when the promise of stem cells was the rage I was very optimistic but now ten years later most of the stem cell research and companies funded it have folded and with it the promise of a cure. The truth is we really do not understand cancer and as these researchers found out that the more we learn the more we discover that the less we know. When I look at the state of cancer today and most frontline treatment is still radiation which was the main treatment 60 years ago is a very sobering reality at how little progress we have made. Yes the earlier detection and screening is better but once you have cancer it is really generally a death sentence. Even the hope of immunotherapy is limited to one type of cancer and recent trials with pancreatic cancer showed no improvements. The problem is that we really do not understand cancer and the various forms and stimuli which makes it so difficult to beat. When I hear idiotic politicians of both sides with the latest being Joe Biden saying we will cure cancer in 4 years if he’s elected is as Sid said stupid. It’s not a political issue. It’s something that will still be here In all of our lifetimes. There is no cure round the corner.

Millions of dollars were put into finding a vaccine for COVID, a " cure" was developed, in a short amount of time! The fact is that government and pharmaceutical companies control healthcare. Much can be done in environment and medicine if there was endorsement. support and adequate funding! The accessibility of healthy foods, quality of air and water with preventive healthcare would also make a tremendous difference. These. things Can be done" if " the powers that be ALLOWED it. The Republicans have fought these things with a vengeance and bent the American people's minds to fight against their own well being! Helping the " poor" and " sick" has been disrespectfully labeled as " socialism. Ignorance and hatred has Been championed and contributes well to our own self destruction! There is no acceptable reason for our government to contribute to multiplitudes of sickness and disease in this country, other than the love of unimaginable accumulation of wealth and heighten power! Consider our present political fiasco while the needs and care of the American people continues to be all but ignored as the powerbrokers fight amongst themselves, failing to provide a mere pittance of assistant of tax paid money returned to the American people . As "they "eat well and live in a different environment, their sense of decency for people sick , hungry and in need of adequate shelter means nothing. They continue to sit on the" bank" and lie to us about what's not possible! As our elected representatives sit up high,distant from our needs, they as wealthy millionaires and religious zealots with the best of healthcare deny us what is easily possible There enough talent in the field of medicine. Access to technology and the meeting of brilliant minds to collaborate to do far more and succeed. Hands are tied!

We hve cured it but treatment is quite expensive.

With regard to cancer, that is what cannabis oil does.

Year 2035: "WE FINALLY CURED CANCER!" Drug resistant bacteria: "Hello there!"

soon = 10-15 years from now if not even more

_This talk is great in a way, not because he is telling something new ('coz they've already been done), but more of how he had drawn a _*_level of abstraction_*_ that could be generally applied in the field of medicine._ But I have my *second thoughts* on the _controlled environment_ aspect; not much as to its _causal effect_ on our health but as to how you could _effectively enforce_ a *_desirable state_* on a *large scale* so much so that today's individuals are criss-crossing not just State borders, but also from one sovereign country to another. Our laws could only stretch so much as to territories which we have jurisdiction, in general. Nonetheless, *The Cell-to-Organismal Approach* is one disruptive principle in Medicine; beyond that would be a socio-political intervention already.

Any progress after 8 years of this video?
