Ok, I'l be candid, I never feel very confident in my ability to separate news from hype when it comes to medical innovations. Can someone with some experience in the field give me some idea about how authoritative and well founded this report is. So many times researchers with put out this big press release of an initial finding that is going to completely rewrite a branch of medical science, then it gets peer reviewed into oblivion and is never mentioned again.
