A 'Third State' Exists Between Life and Death -And That Suggests Your Cells Are Conscious, Some Scientists Say

A growing number of new studies have found that, at least for some cells, death isn't the end, but the beginning of something wholly unexpected.

And now something completely different. Yes sorry, I post various topics (see bio). My apologies to those who only follow me for my anti-fascism. ❤️

“Her cell line, which came to be known as “HeLa” in honour of Lacks, is the first and most commonly used immortalised cell line in medicine. Millions of people owe their lives to the tissue taken from her – the cell line it generated was used to create the first polio vaccine, cancer medicines and in vitro fertilisation.”
It also was an ethics case that was detailed in a book by Rebecca Skloot: The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks.

Bytes Europe · Scientists Recreate the Conditions That Sparked Complex LifeThe original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine.Far from being solo operators, most single-celled microbes are in complex relationships. In the ocean, the soil, and your gut, they might battle and eat each other, exchange DNA, compete for nutrients, or feed on one another’s by-products. Sometimes they get even more intimate: One cell might slip inside another and make itself comfortable. If the conditions are just right, it might stay and be welcomed, sparking a relationship that could last for generations—or billions of years. This phenomenon of one cell living inside another, called endosymbiosis, has fueled the evolution

The team of Prof. Benoît Ladoux, principal investigator of “Tissue Mechanobiology” at the Max-Planck-Institut für Physik und Medizin (MPZPM) have demonstrated how physical signals can have an impact on the fate of extruding cells governing their death or survival. The results may establish novel paths for understanding tissue properties in both normal and pathological conditions.

In the endosymbiotic theory, complex cells evolved when a micorbe invaded another and took up residence in its host, in a mutually beneficial relationship. While we can't go back in time to verify this theory, scientists have been finding microbes that could allow such a process to happen...

“Most antibiotics inhibit a process,” said senior study author Dr. Walid A. Houry, a professor of biochemistry at the University of Toronto. “With this approach, we are dysregulating a process, and this allows us to develop this new class of compounds that we eventually hope to get into a clinic.”

JD Vance’s investments reveal contradictions
between the political persona he has sought to project,
his history as a venture capitalist and Peter Thiel acolyte,
and his status as a hard-edged tribune of the so-called “new right”.

Companies he has invested in include a firm that carries out medical testing of therapies that may include #stem #cells in scientific research
to tech firms with records of #harvesting #data.

Vance and some of the people behind the various firms he is involved with also exhibit an #obsession with references to the mythology around The Lord of the Rings’ #fantasy #world.

The revelations come in part from an analysis of his financial disclosures to the Senate ethics committee since 2022,
first as a Senate candidate and then as a junior senator for Ohio.
The Guardian’s reporting also drew on other public records and open source materials.

The most recent disclosure, which covers until the end of 2022,
also showcases the peculiar preoccupations that Vance as an investor shared with a
Thiel-adjacent network of rightwing Silicon Valley venture capitalists
who later spent millions supporting Vance’s candidacy to the Senate in 2022.

Joe Lowndes, a political science professor at Hunter College and the author of several books on the American political right, said:
“Vance has been a chameleon his whole life
– that’s how he described himself in his autobiography.
“He has no core, and seems to have been influenced by a series of strong personalities, from Amy #Chua, to Peter #Thiel, to #Trump.”
