Ancient Greece Revisited : Did the Greeks Trip on LSD?

Posted by in category: neuroscience

For nearly 2000 years, as many as three thousand Greeks shared similar visionary experiences in the town of Eleusis while celebrating the great Eleusinian Mysteries.

In this inaugural video of “Ancient Greece Revisited” we explore the possible use of psychedelics in the Greek world. We follow a thread connecting the most sacred of rituals, the “Great Mysteries of Eleusis,” to the discovery of LSD by Albert Hofmann in the midst of WW2, and from there, to a new, psychedelic view of the entirety of Greek culture.

New Experiment With Human Stem Cells Ends Up Rapidly Curing Diabetes in Mice

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, futurism

A new technique to convert human stem cells into insulin-producing cells could hold huge promise for future diabetic treatments, if results seen in an experiment with mice can be successfully replicated in humans.

In a study, researchers figured out a new way to coax human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into pancreatic beta cells that make insulin. When these insulin-producing cells were transplanted into mice induced to have an acute form of diabetes, their condition was rapidly cured.

“These mice had very severe diabetes with blood sugar readings of more than 500 milligrams per decilitre of blood – levels that could be fatal for a person,” explains biomedical engineer Jeffrey R. Millman from Washington University.
