Comment on His neighbors live in constant terror

Yeah I know about that one! But in that same article (assuming we are thinking about the same one) they interviewed another scientist working on the other kind of drug.
Last I checked a less tumour inducing version of the drug was going into phase 1 clinical trials for muscular dystrophyin the last year or so

Good, it’s an exciting area of research. Don’t know about any article, I just happen to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of PEDs. I’d definitely be interested to hear about the other thing.

I would personally love an exercise pill. I have pretty severe depression so getting into an exercise routine is a huge struggle. If I could take some medication that helped I would be so happy.
