Yes, that's true. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but I so want to believe this will be different.
WOW - sounds encouraging...hopefully they will forge ahead !!!! Thanks for sharing !
That will be a amazing milestone if this pass through and being proved.
I read last week that the vets at one of the Texas Universities are planning to test it on dogs (dachshunds and other long bodied dogs) before the human trials. I had planned to post a link to the article I read on here, but got busy that day. I will see if I can find it somewhere.
Here is one article about using the drug on canines to see if it will work for them. Sounds promising!
