if you've run out of other options-i would say it's no risk.

Brian Koffman of the CLL Society in the U.S. has a blog about his experience with CAR-T cell therapy:

It's interesting to see an article from foldingforum.org posted here!

I've been running Folding@Home on my PC all the time in the background for years.

I have my own team - it's just me. I call my team Leuk Ska Lyker.

Folding at Home does complex molecular simulations for Stanford University on thousands of computers simultaneously to research drugs and diseases. The combined computers make an enormous super computer.
