Scientists of Lemmy, tell me why this is BS
besides working in mice only being a "probably works in humans": it's very recent and is a research paper. only facts that hold true by the time they're included in a review paper are considered certain. maybe instead of viable mice, they measured a vial of meth. however, because this is published in an accredited journal, any mistake would probably be much more subtle than that, and having many co-authors lowers the odds even further. of anything wrong that affects the conclusion, i mean. meth is overrated
We are in the worst timeline and can't have nice things.
Real. Also mice tiddies.
My first thought was wondering whether there exists a special variety of big tiddy lab mice bred solely for use in breast cancer research
From the sidebar:
I don’t think questioning a science story is the negativity that comes from today’s news cycle.
Didn't they just shutdown all NIH and cancer research ostensibly eliminating the department completely?
Could you send a link?

Humans don't have mouse titties.
Because my momma said its the devils work!
Mice are not human, drug prob won't work the same way in humans. IANAS
They used human tumors in mice so it was being tested against human tumors. The main issue is that the mice were immunocompromised so it would stand to be tested in humans with functional immune systems.
OK but its nice knowing we can help mice tho
"Single dose" and "no side effects" makes me very sceptical.
