Good news if you are a rat, certainly. I remember hearing a researcher who had developed a promising cancer treatment in rats saying, "All I'm wiling to claim is that if you're a rat with certain cancers, we've got something very promising to offer you." Too often, these advances don't translate across species; I wish the science press would be more cautious, sometimes.
As a mild sufferer, I'll hope this one works for rats and humans!
