I was commenting on the fact that differences in patient responses to interventions are not only due to genetics and epigenetics, but also to the memories made by cells and tissues of past experiences (which will differ greatly across patients). Any molecular pathway shown in textbooks and papers won't function the same way in each individual because many of them can store dynamical system memories of past history and act differently in the future. The comment has no visuals to it, so I simply added some movies of our 2-headed planarian flatworms (originally recorded by Junji Morokuma in my lab) and then some nice ocean videos I shot at sunrise. The worms are a nice example: their bioelectric state was reprogrammed by a brief intervention (physiological experience) and now they forever make 2-headed regenerative (asexual) progeny despite having totally normal genetics.\nCHAPTERS:\n(00:00) Patient-Specific Cellular Memories\n(02:16) Cellular Goal-Directed Growth\nPRODUCED BY:\nhttps://aipodcast.ing\nSOCIAL LINKS:\nPodcast Website: https://thoughtforms-life.aipodcast.ing\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3pVafx6EZqXVI2V_Efu2uw\nApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thoughtforms-life/id1805908099\nSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7JCmtoeH53neYyZeOZ6ym5\nTwitter: https://x.com/drmichaellevin\nBlog: https://thoughtforms.life\nThe Levin Lab: https://drmichaellevin.org","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/RCb3ywMRujqkFlQk-NGcvqmCVXmLXgB9KEU-EgFeZJw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83NTUx/YzBhYjZjOWVmMTE4/YTAwZDMzOWRlZDcw/MzFjYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
