Interesting that ebv oncogene lmp1 is suggested to be related to multiple sclerosis in the study. among other things, the CD40 mimic LMP1 upregulates b cell antigen presentation to and activation of T cells.

The cancers with the highest cure rates are actually childhood cancers, partly because most of these kids are in clinical trials, which is how we advance science

This is for study, but raises the question of whether EBV is driving this as well. The relative risk between EBV and multiple sclerosis is higher than that between smoking and lung cancer, based on a study of military members who were EBV negative at time of recruitment.

CRISPR-Cas, cheap genomic sequencing, mRNA vaccines and other products, paired with AI protein folding prediction technology (eg Alphafold) are the likely core of the next big thing. and it's where a big chunk of 2 decades of US R&D have gone. Cumulative US R&D by top spenders / by sector, 2004-2023
