Very nice review by @Joseph_C_Wu et al. on the use of #iPSCells in medicine, including manufacturing complexities.

🪼 The immortal jellyfish rewinds from adult to polyp in 3 days. A 2022 genome paper called it nature's Yamanaka factors.
Then a researcher showed it ignored Japanese data: Kyoto tank records where one jellyfish rejuvenated 10 times in 2 years.
🧬 The Okinawa rail can't fly. It also can't see a flu virus coming — its viral alarm gene has rotted into unreadable junk.
About 1,500 are left, all in one forest.
So Japan grew mini-brains from its iPS cells, and will infect those instead.
