Early in vivo work in mice whose results are directional and precede any dosing, safety or clinical translation data.
Tested in pigs, the battery held about 1.8 volts and faded to 1.45 by the third day. Its 3.5 milliampere-hour ceiling is roughly a tenth of what one uninvolved engineer says the technology needs.
Reality
An NIH-funded UC Berkeley team dosed old, healthy female mice, then fed a second group 24% fewer calories to match what the drug's appetite suppression achieved. The drug still did more on memory and blood sugar.
Reality
A Universidad de Chile team gave 47 mice sweetened water at everyday doses and tracked two unexposed generations. Glucose handling shifted by sex and by line, and the metabolite drop is the part worth chasing.
Reality
An IBEC-led consortium says two of its photoswitchable compounds restored light perception in blind mice when applied as drops, with no vector and no implant. The circulated summary stops before the numbers.
Reality
Engineers transfected stem cells with two microRNAs, one for bone and one for vessels, then placed the resulting clusters one at a time. Lab and mouse work is reported; outcome figures are not.
Reality
Nagoya University and FUJIFILM report longer-lasting expression from capped circular RNA in a new lipid nanoparticle. The mouse data are directional; the duration numbers are not public yet.
