    A particularly aggressive form of colorectal cancer runs in my family. My grandmother, an aunt, and other relatives have all died of it in their fifties.

    This is still at the clinical trial stage, but the approach could work for many other types of cancer too. Fingers crossed it’s as successful as possible, and available as a treatment very soon.

        yeah I mean the mRNA tech of the vaccines has other potentiall amazing applications like replacing enzymes people are missing or introducing new ones. It’s temporary, so much safer than permanent gene therapy. Realistically speaking, how else are we going to remove the microplastic?
