Your cells teem with small machinery and devices of all kinds, including teeny tiny batteries called mitochondria. Just like real batteries, they can malfunction, but replacing them isn’t that easy. In this episode, Veera explains what happens to our microbatteries with aging and what we can do about it.

Scientists ‘freeze’ light for an entire minute
Circa 2013
In what could prove to be a major breakthrough in quantum memory storage and information processing, German researchers have frozen the fastest thing in the universe: light. And they did so for a record-breaking one minute.

Breakthrough COVID-19 treatment developed by UAE stem cell center with promising initial results
The new coronavirus invades the body through a spike protein that lives on the surface of virus cells. The S protein, as it’s called, binds to a receptor called angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on a healthy cell’s surface. Once attached, the cells fuse and the virus is able to infect the healthy cell.
ACE2 receptors are present on cells in many places throughout the body, and especially in the lungs. Cells in the lungs are also some of the first to encounter the virus, since the primary form of transmission is thought to be breathing in droplets after an infected person has coughed or sneezed.
That’s why it was necessary to upgrade Stem Cell Neurotherapy for COVID-19 by adding T-Cells, B-Cells, and Natural Killer Cells to the arsenal. It was not enough to just regenerate new lung cells to replace the lung cells infected by COVID-19, but the COVID-19 Virus Cells had to be attacked and destroyed in order to prevent them from invading and infecting the newly regenerated lung cells.
So, that’s where the idea of using T-Cells, B-Cells, and Natural Killer Cells, usually used in attacking cancer cells, came from.
A patent has been granted by the Ministry of Economy for the development of an innovative and promising treatment for COVID-19 infections using stem cells. The treatment was developed by a team of doctors and researchers at the Abu Dhabi Stem Cell Center, ADSCC, and involves extracting stem cells from the patient’s own blood and reintroducing them after activating them.
The patent was granted for the innovative method in which the stem cells are collected.

You CAN live forever… as long as you are a flatworm, say scientists
Circa 2012
Forget expensive lotions and potions – the key to becoming immortal could be found in flatworms, scientists say.
The worms, which live in lakes and ponds, hold the remarkable ability to regenerate time and time again – effectively living forever.
If one is cut in half, the head portion grows a tail and the tail portion grows a head. Cut it into 20 pieces and 20 new worms, each an exact copy of the first, are created.

Mystery of snails with iron shells that survive inside white-hot volcanoes
A team at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has decoded the genome of the volcano-dwelling scaly-foot snail, which can live in remarkably hot temperatures.

Space Force to get deeper insight into inner workings of SpaceX commercial launches
WASHINGTON — SpaceX on May 6 was awarded an $8.9 million contract modification that gives the U.S. Space Force direct insight into the inner workings of the company’s commercial and civil space missions.
The contract for “non-National Security Space fleet surveillance” gives the Space Force access to SpaceX missions until November.
“This contract provides for non-NSS fleet surveillance efforts across the SpaceX family of launch vehicles for non-NSS missions,” said the contract announcement. The $8.9 million is an addition to an existing $297 million contract awarded to SpaceX in February 2019 for three national security launches.

Stem cell ‘mist’ cured COVID-19 patients in the Middle East, doctors say. Here’s how
Stem Cell Neurotherapy, which has achieved successful results with Parkinson’s, Essential Tremor, and Brain Tumor, can generate new cells and tissues in the lungs, liver, kidney, etc., to replace those cells and tissues that have been infected by COVID-19. This will improve the lung microenvironment, protect lung alveoli epithelial cells, and restore healthy functioning lungs.
These new cells will eliminate the fever, coughing, headaches, breathing problems, and other symptoms related to COVID-19.
At the 9:03 minute mark on the Stem Cell Neurotherapy recording, you will hear the therapeutic message:
“Your stem cells are going to transform themselves into new lung, liver, kidney, and other cells to replace those cells that have been infected by the Coronavirus. This will eliminate the inflammation, fever, breathing difficulties, coughing, and other symptoms caused by the virus.
Your body is going to produce healing hormones, messenger molecules, and proteins which will transform the stem cells into mature, well-functioning connections and tissues. These new cells and tissues are going to replace those cells and tissues that have been infected by the virus.
Your stem cells are going to transform themselves into T-Cells, B-Cells, and Natural Killer Cells, which will seek out, identify, attack, and destroy all the Coronavirus cells in your entire body.”
