Yeah, every dog I've had had the same problem.

Never let the ball go.

And that's kind of like the metaphor is powerful.

So you figure out how to do this, which is with no reagents.

This is unlike a continuous glucose sensor or a lactate sensor.

No reagents, a little tiny bit of electricity.

And then you sense the protein level.

And then you go ahead and you say, okay, let's try this in a diabetic rat model.

And you're looking for specific inflammation proteins like interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor.

And what did you find when you did that?

I was struck by that especially.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

So this is why it was such a landmark contribution, because no one had ever really conceived that this could be possible.

But you actually demonstrated it is more than possible.

You demonstrated it in a very

impressive animal model.

Now, there seems to be limitless clinical applications of this.

I mean, so, you know, if you were trying to monitor if a person's eating an anti-inflammatory diet or they're exercising and they're keeping their body in their low levels of inflammation, which we know inflammaging is such a big part of

how we wind up with these age-related diseases.
