Yes, I know it's the Daily Mail.
@Coctaanatis The actual (usual) medical journals/ institutions should also have something to say on this specifically (Lancet, Journals of Ophthalmology, etc..) understanding that you are concerned with this being > the daily mail...
I've heard from a researcher that there is CRISPR work being done in this area too, though more challenging disease states are being worked on first... like various cancers, diabetes, cardiac / circulatory issues (stroke etc) ... Hope for good stuff coming!
Daily Mail or otherwise, it's not smart to mess around where we don't have a sufficient knowledge base. #Ozempic #EyeStroke
Here's the BBC article. I'm seeing the study getting picked up as it went out on Reuters earlier.
