Yes, did you notice that they are looking to find a partner for human trials? That would be the first use of stem cells in treating a mental illness that I’m aware of. I’m calling addiction a mental illness but maybe it isn’t technically.

Didn’t read it, but love the tongue in cheek humor in the first sentences.

I honestly feel so sad for these lab rats

Human mesenchymal stem cells. iPSC, induced Pluripotent Stem Cells, is the way forward.

It’s good that there are a lot of “irons in the fire.”

Many things that could work out to have a positive effect, and if some fail, well, there’s always the next one.
