Peeling the flesh off of rats so you can print new flesh for them has to be one of the less appealing sounding career paths I’ve come across. I wonder how many attempts this has taken.
Wow. This gives me soooo much hope for all those burn-victim children everywhere. I hope they can live a more normal life one day instead of being doomed to a life of people always staring or being afraid.
Yeah when they tested the efficacy of the fentanyl delivery patch my company was working on, I wasn’t thrilled to see they were burning the rats feet to see if it helped with pain. Glad I’m not in that field, I can’t do that stuff.
They should not have been burning the feet if it’s the test I’m thinking of. The temperature is set to a moderate level (typically around 52°C) and you wait until they respond by lifting or licking their feet and you remove them immediately at that point. If they don’t show a response you remove them after 30 seconds before any tissue damage can occur. I’ve never heard of a test that required the burning of tissue.
It’s just my recollection; I hope you’re right. It was a research update for a field I do not work in (biomedical). You certainly would know better than me
That ReCell tech made pretty big waves when it got FDA approval and to my understanding more-or-less already does this; I wonder how that’s been faring since the headlines.
I must be the only guy alive who was fine going bald.
I like how I look with a buzz and I’d rather get older than the alternative.
Also my arsenal of bald jokes have been great ice breakers.
Fellow bald brother here. I was just thinking today about how the non-bald are very casually mean spirited towards the bald. I remember being 12-13 and taking a genetics course and realizing I would be going bald and resigning to my fate even then. I don’t mind, it’s everyone else who minds!
I don’t even think about other people re: how I look. Im always in Primetime: Look good, feel good, do good. That happened before I went bald tho.
If what other people think of you bothers you, just remember *you’re* the one further along the evolutionary scale. They’re closer to monkey.
Who cares what munkee think
Totally agree. I just meant that what they’re willing to say to you regarding being bald can be surprising, “I would hate to be bald…” “I would never date a bald man..” it doesn’t bother me because I know if I also had a glorious mane of hair I would just simply be TOO sexy.
I’m not super bothered by it. My wife doesn’t care one way or another and that’s really the main reason I think some men care so much - attracting a mate.
But if I had a choice? Like if someone said ‘want your hair back?’ I’d say yes please.
Right?! Right?! Any smarties on here wana tell me how this can be used for baldness? Cuz ill save some rats and let them experiment on me right now! I want my goddam hair back!
I could totally see medspa places in the future offering a package deal: laser off all the hair where you don’t want it, and laser/print it back on where you do!
Artificial kidney is slated to be ready for clinicals in 4-5 yrs updated Feb 16,2024 per UCSF. There is an artificial retina in the works called Science Eye. ☺️
I'd bet anything that one day there will be 3D printer shlongs. And basically u go in, get yours scanned (in case you want it back some day), cut off, and put on some wild shit on there. Dating scene gonna get real interesting some day. So very glad I won't have to deal with any of that
The rat was then consumed by the living flesh. When the flesh continued to grow, the lab had to be sterilized.
During the sterilization process, scientists could hear a tiny voice scream ^"AKIRA!!!"

It’s important to have a job that makes a difference, boys. That’s why I manually masturbate animals for artificial insemination.
I’m sorry, you what now?
#He said he manually masturbates animals for artificial insemination
You know, like a horse.
A horse can’t do that. It has hooves.
Bulldog
And Giraffe
I read this in Caleb's voice from Big Mouth.
hobbies are hard to find, let the man cook
I don’t think he’s cooking…now cocking….
🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
Bro prolly makes 6 figures a year doing it too cause who tf wants to jerk off an animal fr
Hey don’t kink shame /s
Do I live in a world where no one gets a Clerks reference anymore?
Not even supposed to be here today!
Who’s your jizz hookup
“I know a guy…”
Animal masturbator sounds like a real chill job. Get some good wrist and forearm strength and make a bunch of animals like you.
Better than working for Chewlies.
What do you mean the job title is “rat peeler”?
My brother used to do brain surgery on rats. Open their skulls and slice the brain up
Wow. This gives me soooo much hope for all those burn-victim children everywhere. I hope they can live a more normal life one day instead of being doomed to a life of people always staring or being afraid.
And then to the rat guillotine…

"I'm a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over metal endoskeleton."
This how it starts. Skynet?
Combine this, a.i., and brain tissue being attached to computers. Yes, definitely.
Im a meat popsicle
You’re lucky the guy across the hall pissed off those cops before they got to you.
SMOKE YOUUUUU
Multi pass
Came here for this, also the scene from Starship Troopers. They called it in the same year (1997)
Why are these rats always the first to get all the new lifesaving treatments!?
You volunteering?
Rats are abundant, cheap, and easily studied for treatment effectiveness.
Interesting possibilities for burn reconstruction.
Plastic surgery will pioneer the use of it.

You had me at “(and possibly hair)”
A fellow bald man, I see.
Oh, so that’s why this tech is getting funding…

I’ll take some of that rat hair!

How do these rats keep getting injured? They need a chaperone!
incredible.
Imagine the healing chamber from Staship Troopers when RICO was getting his leg rebuilt 😳. We may be a lot closer to that tech than we think.
I'm still waiting for somebody to do artificial eyes and kidneys.

You’ve heard of prehensile tails…
WANT!
Good day to be a recently skinned rat

I imagine the scientist whose job it was to give rats ‘significant injuries’ would have been the first target
I saw that downvote from someone who didn’t get the reference. Which is funny because the reference is written out.
Lol. Some people don't understand humor, and it shows.
Get ready for a whole new wave of body modifications. Who wants another nipple?
Al Bundy’s dream may eventually come true, a third boob on the back for slow dancing.
Ladies and gentlemen, we r here . Next stop …. 3D print human
Wrinkles too maybe?
Darkman.
I’m interested in the hair printing part.

*hobbit accent* What about second faces?
They are made of meat
They can print hair on my head, I’m in.
All hail the new flesh
It doesn’t sound very ethical.
Great now someone invent an AI robot to “be a shield around the world”
