    This is incredible news if you are a mouse.

    Let’s hope it translates to humans without also causing cancer or some other horrible condition as all of these miracle drugs seem to.

      another horrible outcome for humans: a super race of gigantic, muscular rats with high libidos (that multiply very quickly) and want to overtake our food supply and keep us as pets

        If they can solve global warming, I’m fine being a pet. Just gimme my videogames and I’ll tend to some crops.

          Lol ikr. I’ll be a pet I just hope I get fed well enough and get to sleep a lot and if they decide to eat me they shoot me in the head. Sounds kinda nice…

            I was thinking more along the offhours activities in the IT line of work, if you catch my drift.

      And then a few years later in generic form for much, much less.

      I’m actually not terribly put out by the initial high cost of these things, especially when it’s something that isn’t a vital life-saving treatment that people have no choice but to try. Every new technology starts out expensive and gets cheaper as competition arises and better manufacturing techniques are developed.

      The most natural diet supplement of all time (unfortunately it tasted terrible until they combined it with banana cream smoothie powder).
