I hope it turns out better than it sounds.
Basically, they are tricking the cells into accepting a drug cells would normally reject.
They did this with the Covid vaccines. The mRNA in the vaccines would be identified as a pathogen by the body and the body would destroy it before it reached the cells. So they put the mRNA in a lipid pouch (Trojan HOrse) to protect the mRNA until it could get into cells.
This technique relies upon researchers to have flawless logic/reasoning/strategy/knowledge which they have never demonstrated before.
Yeah, isn’t a ‘novel’ coronavirus plus a ‘novel’ jab enough for the time being?
Keep in mind the cells being tricked are bacterial.
I hope this works because resistant hospital-acquired infections can be horrendous. In the long run I’m confident we’ll construct nanobots which recognize and literally shred harmful bacterial cells (most bacteria are harmless or beneficial).
And cancer cells, and harmful parasites, and on a larger scale the roaches in the walls. We mustn’t have them self-replicate, however.
Viruses are a different story. Hard to know the ending.
