> perhaps checking people that worked with pneumatic hammers or other vibration exposed workplaces.Those probably add too much variance. For example, someone working with pneumatic hammers likely works in construction and has a likelier chance to also be exposed to harmful dust, or being in the sun a lot, or getting injured on the job. It may also…

It's said cats purr to strenghten their bones. Perhaps the mechanism is related. It would be interesting to see if besides exercise, vibration can trigger it in humans as well, perhaps checking people that worked with pneumatic hammers or other vibration exposed workplaces.

It's amazing that exercise actually helps stimulate bone osteocytes. While electronic massage machines and all sorts of SNS viral products on the market were talking about things like muscle electrical stimulation, this will wipe out those kinds of quacks.
-
If this were a mechanism that appeared under some kind of evolutionary pressure. What would that be? In which situations a normal mammal find its bones squished (but not crushed)? Or is it just a side effect of something else going on?

I’m probably too old to see any benefit from the coming anti aging treatments and societal turmoil. I’m ok with that. Getting old does suck though. The proteins in question are piezo1 and pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF).

> the findings are not “a demonstration of a new antiaging treatment for people,”Regardless, every other study shows only positives of lifting and regular exercise, so just do it!

The feline purring for healing is in Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam trilogy and I just blew it off as too fantastical, but I’m prepared to eat my words metaphorically speaking.

It's always nice to get a new data point confirming that exercise and lifting is good your you, even better if it's through a new mechanism like this one.

After a broken foot, my mother was prescribed a vibrating Bone Healing machine. I thought it might be placebo, maybe not.

I wonder how much older adults could benefit from adding simple squats or sit-to-stands to their daily walking routine.

Soon we will have the technology to become mice and take advantage of the infinite wonders of these discoveries.

do they release more when u break them because im great at that and people always guess my age way younger?

In J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Gollum ate bones and lived to be over 500 years. Coincidence?
