Another one of those medical breakthroughs...

But it looks like a good'un - at least if you're an infertile rat.

I was hoping for an immortality pill.

I was hoping for an immorality pill.

You must have hit the "t" key by mistake. Don't worry, I fixed it.

I don't like how you're presuming I'm moral.

You're presuming the pill is for you.

[SteveB]

I'm perfectly moral.

Wow, could be good. I don't really understand how they've managed it though so I'm hesitant to speculate on its usefulness. As far as I can see they've solved one problem of a particular misfolded protein, but I don't know how well that process would necessarily translate to other misfolded proteins - whether it can be easily developed and altered for others, or if each would need its own massive amount of research, with some being much harder or impossible to find solutions too. No doubt an important step along the way though.

Hmmm......interesting science but when I see a claim that one technique / treatment can be a cure-all, my alarm bells start ringing....one to watch, though.
