Summary:
The article discusses the phenomenon of microchimerism, where cells from a developing fetus can integrate into the mother's body and persist for years, potentially influencing various aspects of health. This bidirectional transfer of cells between mother and fetus during pregnancy is suggested to occur in various organs, such as the heart, lungs, breast, colon, kidney, liver, and brain. These cells, referred to as microchimeric cells, are genetically distinct entities that may play a role in immune system development, organ acceptance in transplantation, and even influencing behavior.
Researchers propose that microchimeric cells might impact susceptibility to diseases, pregnancy success, and overall health. Studies in mice suggest that these cells acquired during gestation could fine-tune the immune system and contribute to successful pregnancies. The article explores potential benefits and drawbacks of microchimerism, including its role in autoimmune diseases, organ acceptance in transplantation, and pregnancy complications.
Despite the widespread presence of microchimeric cells in individuals, many aspects of their function remain unclear, leading to debates among researchers. Some scientists believe that these cells may be influential architects of human life, potentially holding therapeutic implications for conditions like autoimmune diseases and high-risk pregnancies. However, challenges in studying microchimerism, including their rarity and hidden locations within the body, contribute to the ongoing controversy and uncertainty surrounding their significance.
Why do you think such a large amount of people upvoted this? Based on the comments, a lot of people ran into him at some point, and the vast consensus is that he should be at least blocked, if not banned.
I saw you mentioning above that all of the commenters could be OP's alt, are you serious on this? All of these accounts are well known commenters, with years old accounts and plenty of comments.
Do you think Lemmy.ca and LW admins would be agree to ban a user without doing their due diligence? This is why OP is asking for a Lemmy wide ban, because this user is known for ban evasion: https://sh.itjust.works/post/31017252/16043527
Also btw I had to use my SJW account to comment here as the first commenter used a lemmynsfw account, that quite a lot of instances defederate. You might not get feedback from a high number of people on this specific thread due to this.
