Scientists are closer to solving the brain cloning code

Could be a new crazy project in the USA

American scientists wondered whether it was possible to gradually replace the brain with cloned tissues. The fact is that this is exactly the approach that began to be explored in the United States. The goal of the project is to overcome the biological limitations of aging and defy death.

Scientist Jean Hébert, who recently joined the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Health (ARPA-H), proposes a revolutionary approach: replacing aging parts of the brain with young tissue created in the laboratory.

Since its creation in 2022, at the initiative of US President Joe Biden, ARPA-H has funded cutting-edge healthcare projects. Biologist Jean Hébert is leading an ambitious initiative to replace brain tissue. The technique could help treat a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, but its ambitions go beyond that.

According to Ebert, the only way to avoid aging is to replace all parts of the body, including the brain. The scientist argues that human bodies should be viewed as machines that can be repaired by replacing worn-out components.

While organ transplants have become commonplace, brain replacement poses a major challenge. As we age, the brain shrinks and loses its functions. Hébert is exploring the possibility of brain rejuvenation by adding pieces of young laboratory tissue. This process will be carried out gradually to give the brain the opportunity to adapt and preserve the individual's individuality.

Ebert's experiments on mice showed that embryonic cells could survive and function in the mature brain. The transplanted cells respond to stimuli, giving hope for successful integration into the aging organ.

However, this approach is controversial in the scientific community. The cost of testing on primates is estimated at $110 million, and the ethical aspects are questionable. Although the procedure is considered radical and has the potential to transform medicine, it is still far from being used in humans.

It is reported that the Health Advanced Research Projects Agency has decided to support Jean Hébert's initiative, which has given a significant boost to his research. If this method is successful, it could open new horizons in the fight against neurological diseases and other medical problems.
