rip meathead - huge loss #spinal tap

@dillyd

When I first purchased my first vinyl records on my own I picked them only by the covers:

"Beat Crazy" by #JoeJackson

"Little Creatures" by The #TalkingHeads

and a completely black album cover that turned out to be:

" #Spinal Tap " which I thought was a real band because they reminded me of my older brother's "Uriah Heep" record.

Talking Heads is my favorite band
Like Keith Haring art.
Enjoyed movie "This is Spinal Tap" later.

Lucked out, IMHO.

🧠 New paper by Wimalasena, Pandarinath, AuYong et al: #spinal #interneuron populations form a low-dimensional #manifold that robustly organizes step cycles.

Distinct regions of the manifold mark flexion–extension transitions, and a specific “hold region” tightly controls cycle duration. Deletions emerge as failures to enter the flexor region, giving a dynamical signature of disrupted CPG function.

Scientists turn body fat into bone to heal spinal fractures

Researchers in Osaka have found that stem cells from fat tissue can repair spinal fractures similar to those caused by osteoporosis. By turning these cells into bone-forming clusters and pairing them with a bone-rebuilding material, rats regained stronger, healthier spines. The approach could offer a safe, minimally invasive alternative for treating bone diseases in humans.

One of the reasons #SCI results in permanent #disability is that the #neurons that form our #brain and #spinal cord cannot effectively regenerate. Encouraging neurons to regenerate with drugs offers a promising possibility for treating these severe injuries.

Bioinformatics Uncovers Regenerative Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury

For the first time, a drug shows effectiveness in adult human brain cells — an achievement long thought impossible.

The #cancer is called pediatric diffuse midline #glioma. As its name suggests, the #malignancy arises along the midline of the #brain or #spinal cord and infiltrates surrounding tissue in a way that makes it impossible to remove with surgery.

Researchers uncover possible new treatment to target a devastating childhood brain cancer

The limited treatment options have driven researchers to more closely examine the genetic mutations that cause the cancer

In looking through this I see 2 huge flaws -
1. (beyond mastodon)These are big tech extensions/parts & thusly they're privacy disrespecting pieces of trash.

2. On the accessibility group/features - they're really only meant for #VisuallyImpaired & #HearingImpaired folks, beyond one that's for temperature regulation issues

*I'm not saying the groups these are meant for don't matter but the one I'm in & need help with is #spinal.
