This is a protein package.

Each one of these little dots on this little soccer ball is a protein.

That's now inside the cell.

This is a little spaceship that opens up

and out of that comes the DNA.

This is a loop of DNA just here.

This is the DNA package that we put in there, trillions of them.

One of them gets into one cell and now stays in that cell forever.

So that person,

or the monkey or the mouse that we've treated, becomes a transgenic person with genes that we've put in permanently into the back of the eye.

But they don't do anything until we tell them to.

That's now just sitting there.

We've engineered it uniquely and patented the ability to turn on those three genes whenever we want and turn them off again whenever we want.

We give them doxycycline.

It's used for malaria.

It's used for Lyme disease.

And we're using it in this case to turn these genes on.

So the patients will get their doxycycline.

We'll give them some probiotics to restore.

Hopefully, we'll restore their microbiome, of course.
