Remember the sci-fi movie “The Fly”? First it was a 1958 black and white movie about this scientist who invented a teleportation device and accidentally gets his cells mixed up with a fly’s when the fly gets into his machine while he is experimenting with transporting himself. Then the movie was remade in 1986 with Jeff Goldblum and was almost as good as the original.
Here a good bases for a new freediving movie. This group of scientists took a gene from a fly and transplanted it into human kidney cells to see if they could increase hypoxia tolerance. Their conclusion – it “renders cells more resistant to hypoxia”!
Now wouldn’t this make a good theme for a new sci-fi freediving movie when Hollywood seems so short on original ideas? Self-experimenting extreme freediver gets a rouge scientist to help him inject fly genes into himself to increase his freediving ability. He goes on to break several world records, meets and falls in love with the lady of his dreams, and is at the top of life, when slowly he starts to develop strange physical and medical side effects!
Heres a link to the study. It’s a little boring compared to my daydreaming! http://www.jbc.org/cgi/content/full/278/49/49113
