Researchers are making significant strides in stem cell research, with over 100 clinical trials exploring the potential of stem cells to replace or supplement tissues in debilitating or life-threatening diseases. These trials include treatments for cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, heart failure, and some eye diseases. The goal is to use stem cells to repair damaged tissue, and early results have shown promise, with some participants experiencing significant improvements in their conditions.

If you're interesting in contributing some spare computational power to open source disease research (cancer, parkinsons, and more), check out World Community Grid. It's one of many #BOINC projects you can donate CPU time to. They have projects in all areas of science from medicine to chemistry to astronomy, even the Large Hadron Collider (CERN) has a BOINC project. You can process data for one project or many, personally I process data for around a dozen different projects and it heats my home in winter, similar to mining Bitcoin. All you gotta do is download BOINC, pick a few projects, and it handles the rest!
Note: WCG is down for maintenance this month but coming back.

Here's an incomplete list of scientific papers published as a result of computation done using BOINC:

Pharma companies don't want to lose their "lifelong subscription disease management" gig with cascading side-effects to also manage until your place gets taken by another unfortunate costumer.
Hence whatever new thing they can come up with, it won't be a "cure", it'll be a management, or it'll be memory-holed/declared unsafe/etc

🫂 When I first got to know about it I was really amazed and lot's of hope emerged for the future.
I have a lot of hope from stem cell research. I believe if it gets more focus, most of the cures could be found and could also regrow damaged organs too.
Now that's some great work! Very few minds focus on this. Maybe I could recommend some websites that some startups have suggested.
