Does anyone know if this could be happening anytime soon in humans? It sounds very promising.

it seems too good to be true? Tho it’s been published in a good journal. They are saying the next step is trials involving large animals. Surely there will be funding available because the returns would be huge if it proved viable.

Thanks for posting. One of the reasons for postponing an ablation and relying on pills instead is that a more efficient treatment is devised in the future, which will remove the need to take pills for life 🤞🙏
