@elliotswartz The paper states that 0.1 mg of growth factors / litre is used in the ACF medium at a price of less than 1 cent. 2 mg of growth factors / litre is in their SF medium at a price of 30 cents.
Is this price for growth factors surprising to you?
Mendelian randomization study in PLOS ONE reveals a causal link between sarcopenia-related characteristics (like reduced appendicular lean mass and slower walking pace) and cognitive decline. We can’t ignore the power of skeletal muscle any longer—building and preserving muscle is key to protecting cognitive health as we age.
