The mouse model in the study is reportedly quite different as it allows scientists to observe the aging process in a whole organism.

These mice not only carry high viral loads in the lungs but also display severe lung damage, mirroring the kind of hyperinflammatory response seen in human patients with severe COVID-19.

There is no doubt that the genetic engineering of bacteria and yeast to produce insulin has revolutionised the treatment of insulin. Because it is 'human' insulin, it does not have the potential ...
