Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2026;123:e2619797123. doi:10.1073/pnas.2619797123 Lyrics:Verse 1In the hush of cells where the bright sparks run,Tiny antennae fade, one by one.Not every neighbor breaks the same,Some keep the light, some lose the flame. Pre-ChorusA misfolded whisper builds into weight,Cuts the wire before the message can translate.When the doorway shuts, the garden goes dim,And the songs that heal can’t reach the limb. ChorusBring back the signal, let it come alive,Turn the key where the hidden pathways drive.If the cilia fall, we raise a new line,Find the thread of hope in a brittle design.Hold on—hear the factors call,We’re not done when the antennas fall. Verse 2In chosen circuits, the loss feels precise,While others stand steady at the same cold price.A pathway meant to guide and growRuns low, runs quiet, down below. BridgeSo we map the silence, frame by frame,Dots of proof in a midnight pane.If one route converges through shadowed air,We’ll build a bridge of care right there. Final ChorusBring back the signal, let it come alive,Turn the key where the hidden pathways drive.If the cilia fall, we raise a new line,Feed the glow again—make the future align.Hold on—hear the factors call,We’re not done when the antennas fall.
