Even as a med student, the idea that audible sound can actually influence gene expression and cell differentiation feels like something out of sci-fi.

Imagine targeted sound therapy for metabolic conditions, or for promoting muscle regeneration after injury. We already use things like ultrasound for diagnostic imaging and physical therapy

Very cool!
