Based on the studies I've seen, that's exactly what the researchers are hoping for in the long run

Crazy if it works, but the whole biotech field is boiling right now so who knows?

Boiling?

There is a lot of research and interesting things going on right now, from those latest vaccines that are amazing (and not only for vaccinating), CRISPR, longevity research etc etc etc.

It really feels like we went from "trying out 100.000 random things to see if we can somewhat cure something" to using a more direct approach like targeted interventions and designed drugs & molecules.
