My lab is like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory if you visit.
It's magical.
And the students that I teach and the trainees who are sometimes in their 30s and even 40s who are brilliant scientists, there's about 25 of us.
They are making discoveries that blow me away every week.
It's not a pill, because you can't give a mouse a pill.
They won't chew it.
But we give them a liquid down their throat.
It's a drink.
And within four weeks, we can rejuvenate them.
Not with these genes anymore that we're giving humans.
That's the older technology.
The new technology is something you can swallow.
in a mouse and rejuvenate them in four weeks.
It's normal for my students to say, oh yeah, we just rejuvenated the ear.
We just rejuvenated the skin.
We just cured ALS, motor neuron disease, in these animals.
By the way, Steven, this isn't just, each disease doesn't get a different medicine.
Each disease doesn't get a different set of genes.
It's the same set of genes, the same molecules that treat, cure multiple sclerosis as the same one that cures blindness in mice.
So let that sink in.
