But as usual there is at the end of the article the typical caveat, "clinical trials, if they prove warranted, are at least five years away". This is so typical of regenerative medicine, always 5, 10 or more years away. Is there not a generic way we could accelerate the transition from proof of concept to general availability? We need a kind of Marshall plan here to move on or the baby boomers hanging here will be all dead before this kind of research comes to fruition. This is very interesting and promising research.
