Liver is a weird one. The liver is one of the only organs that can regenerate. Anyone can donate a chunk of their liver. It just regrows after awhile, as well as in the recipient. So livers are better at staying under the radar from the immune system.
I hope they try it. At their age recovering from major surgery will be a breeze. I wish I was on immune suppressants for the rest of my life. Oh and don’t forget another surgery when the organ fails! Sounds like immortality to me

A lot of herbivores will eat meat when starving or stressed. Or just if the happen upon easily accessible meat. Most animals aren’t confined to only one food source. To be a omnivore, they need to regularly seek out, consume, and digest both plant and animal parts. Wolves eat grass sometimes, but they can’t digest it.
This study is crazy because there are multiple individuals showing this behavior. Not to mention they are actively hunting the voles. Indicating that this behavior wasn’t opportunistic. Which is really cool! Though, a squirrel with the appetite of a shrew sounds terrifying.
I mean there are lots of places like that?
The main issue with any computer is that they can’t adapt to new situations. We can infer and work through new problems. The more variables the more “new” problems. The problem with biology is there isn’t really any hard set rules, there are almost always exceptions. The amount of functional memory and computing power is ridiculous for a computer. Driving works mostly because there are straightforward rules.
I only ment that specific person who wrote that.
Are you sure this isn’t sarcasm?
Species actually don’t have a rigid definition that works across all organisms. The most common definition is the one you gave but sometimes it simply doesn’t work, for example any organism the doesn’t use sexual reproduction doesn’t fit this definition. Clarification of extinct populations would also be an issue. Even considering organisms this is usually used with, there are exceptions. For example; domesticated cattle and American bison, coyotes and wolves, and most cat breeds with various wild species.
And many kinds of fish! Like clown fish : ]
Yes this! I hate when people say biology supports their trans/homo/ect. phobia when in reality it absolutely does not
This looks like Raft. Only with actual physics. Neat
Those some fuzzy feets
It wouldn’t really matter, there would be another reason for hate.
Yeah, it’s definitely good, for sure. I was being a bit derisive. The double standard just struck me.
It feels very much like the joker meme.
That’s not true at all. Essentially every time you have heard of any disease linked to a gene its because of the Human genome project. 23 and me, that is also thanks to HGP. Lots of cancer research has also been done, identifying markers for cancer.
You might not be aware of it, but has been vital for anyone genetic advancement.
Good. But also just doctors? I guess every woman better start training to become a doctor…
Long term heavy drinking is really rough on the body. My cousin’s ex husband recently passed away from drinking. She left him because of if and his kids didn’t want much to do with him. He had been sober for a year and was just talking with my cousin about trying to have a relationship with his kids. It was going well. Then he died. It just doesn’t seem worth the risk.
