That’s promising but also very, very early development. It’s too early for the hype and such headlines. This treatment still have to succeed in preclinical trials, then multiple clinical trials.
The research is still in its early days and the next step will be pre-clinical animal trials.
It’d be great if proven effective, but most treatment as this stage of development fail because they’re either ineffective in human trials, or have bad side effects. A small minority succeeds and improve patients life.
