alright, someone explain to me how this actually sucks and we shouldn't get our hopes up.
Interesting. Ok, so we're still a decade or so off from this being viable for humans then? And it sounds like it's basically keeping you in a mild state of always having allergies to keep your immune system running on all cylinders, correct? So that might have some long term effects as well?
It's like any other drug that activates receptors, the receptors get burned out and the whole signaling pathway gets shut off.
It's not a vaccine
It will only work if you expect to catch a virus
Overusing a signaling pathway just turns off receptors
Mouse only.
