A study from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) challenged traditional biology by revealing that lungs do more than exchange oxygen—they also produce blood platelets.

Using live-imaging in mice, researchers discovered that lungs generate over 10 million platelets per hour, contributing nearly 50% of the total platelet count.

Even more surprising, they found hematopoietic stem cells—the originators of all blood cells—within lung tissue.

This overturns the long-standing belief that bone marrow is the sole site of blood production.

These findings were published in the journal Nature and have huge implications for treating blood disorders like thrombocytopenia, a condition where platelet counts are dangerously low.

Researchers from University Hospital Bonn (Germany) and Hebrew University (Israel) published a 2017 study in the journal Nature Medicine that found long-term, low doses of THC (the active compound in cannabis) reversed cognitive decline in aged mice.

Key Findings:

THC reactivated mTOR signaling, restoring synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus (a brain area tied to memory).

Older mice given THC showed marked improvement in learning and memory, performing comparably to younger mice.

The treatment mimicked exercise and caloric restriction effects, which are also linked to healthy aging.

Caveat: These effects were not observed in young mice, who actually experienced impairment with THC—highlighting age-specific impacts.
