🦠COVID & Flu infections can reactivate dormant breast cancer cells in the lungs, causing rapid metastasis in mice within days driven by IL-6.

🦀COVID infection in humans is also linked to metastatic breast cancer tumors in the lungs & higher risk of death. buff.ly/a27BulF

“… precision-bred crops pose no greater risk to health or the environment than traditionally bred crops…thus the new regulations will be distinct from that governing genetically modified orgs (GMOs), which involve inserting foreign DNA into the genome”…a technique which ALSO poses no greater risk.

This is a really interesting article! It provides a very clear set of things to think about and suggestions to follow to move your idea from "idea" to something that actually is being used by society. One cool tip is to browse The Lens (www.lens.org) to explore the patent and commercial space.
