Close, But Is It Nutritious

a: Growth factor ~
b: espresso shots for cells
What: "Growth factors are like espresso shots for cells. A cell works at a certain pace to do its job. If we add growth factors (like those in PRP), it's like buying all of the cells trying to repair the area a bunch of Starbucks gift cards. The cells react to the growth factors like people react to triple espresso shots, they work harder and faster. So if we use an example of a construction site, where we have a few brick layers building a new wall, if we add growth factors, our brick layers will build our wall faster."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
