I try to read all the articles you post because I think the more I learn the more I'll understand but this one is beyond me. Admittedly I didn't read to the end, maybe it would have made more sense to me had I done. Phages are fascinating 👍

Phages like stem cell technology are the signposts for the future,all we need is the bravery in research and a whole heap of money to make their introduction both safe and radically effective in tackling diseases.

Very good read. I feel many diseases could be cured, information and research is everything.
