Very interesting topic. Probably gonna be awhile before anything comes of it. I can’t determine side effects from the paper.

Exciting to hear about this, and to manage expectations a good rule of thumb is 13 years from bench to bedside for drugs that work.

(I work in the technology transfer office at another university and am familiar with the road to commercialization for university IP)

Every few years we get a story about exercise in a pill. Cardarine was one such compound. Too bad it became associated with cancer risk. Cardarine may be beneficial for some conditions but we will probably never know. Perhaps this new breakthrough will be better.
