Eric,

Thank you so much for this article, you made my day.
A few years ago, I read about this research and the surper mouse called Number 6, I think. I was very hopeful then that Dr Cui would start a clinical trial in human soon because it sounded so promissing. It is great to know that this will happen soon and that we might have the answer for our prayers in 2 years.
Now we all need to pray very hard that the human trial will be as successful as the trial in mice was, and we will have THE CURE.
A big hug,
Karla V.
