Chinese scientists achieve diabetes cure through innovative cell therapy, detailed in Cell Discovery. Patient, treated in July 2021, no longer requires insulin after eleven weeks, and is now medication-free for 33 months. The breakthrough, praised by Timothy Kieffer, signifies a major advancement in diabetes treatment. This novel approach utilizes the body's regenerative abilities and could alleviate China's healthcare burden. Further studies are needed for validation.
Curing diabetes would get it even if prizes were otherwise 100% based on who you know. A corrupt board would need to maintain the facade of legitimacy.
Meh, I’ve seen cooler things not get any Nobel Prizes.
Please elaborate. It’s difficult to imagine something better than a cure that would positively affect hundreds of millions of people and would have prevented countless deaths before.
Fact of the matter is that Diabetes is a manageable illness.
Yeah I’m not gonna get into that line of thinking when there are literally millions of diabetes attributed deaths every year [or two if you take the lower end stats]. Please just elaborate on these alleged superior inventions that did not receive a Nobel, that’s all I was asking.
I don’t really feel like it, try back later
It’s okay, I obviously didn’t expect you to be able to answer that. The og comment gave off old reddit vibes, and the classic redditor wouldn’t be able to name a Nobel winning invention. I also expect you didn’t really think the Nobel committee was particularly corrupt, either you applied your worldview to it automatically or heard it somewhere unsourced and just kept repeating it without checking (possibly from a prof tho). Probably the former.
This was one of the interactions I enjoyed on old reddit before from-the-hip-bullshitting started getting buried, deleted, or too well written to be noticed. Tangentially, I wonder if reddit’s now too full of convincingly written AI bullshit for real users to bother commenting on.
