I guess we could contact Bill Deakin (bill.deakin@manchester.ac.uk) to ask for more details.
All in all, I wasn’t putting my hopes on this particular medicine. I am waiting for a genuine treatment against negative symptoms, one that accounts for genetic variability and illness duration and any other factor one can possibly think of. CRISPR sounds like a good plan but not in the near future, the technology might be mature by now but our understanding of the brain is not.

How is crispr going to help those that already have sz? It seems like it could only prevent sz births by altering dna

tried minocyclene, did not help
Thx, @Andrey this could be a cure-all, but it’s still early to tell and who knows how soon although that article was optimistic.
We’ve been hearing about this one for years. It seems researchers are beating a dead horse.
Btw, @Andrey for crispr to work u need to know which genes to fix, which for sz there is no single gene as well as hundreds of genes being risk-factors, I think it might be far away from being helpful for sz

The C-4 gene has been repeatedly implicated in the development of sz. I think I manipulated it with chronic bong hits of the purple haze back when I was in high school. I need Crispr to put it back
