That sounds fantastic. I wonder how long before it is viable for use by us all. I feel very proud as Bristol was the university I went to.

I read about this yesterday and it has brilliant potential for all auto-immune sufferers. Certainly the way forward is to go down to the basics of cell production.

Thanks so much for this link - very exciting - I read it and then posted it on the NRAS community too.

Thanks Susan, you really are a gem, you know! I will read this, possibly on holiday- I'm going away in the morning. I have heard of some research, linked to the 'genome' project but, I'll admit, I didn't expect such a specific result quite so soon!

Anyway 'watch this space', as the saying goes.

Thank you again Susan, love to all.
