    This seems like something that might have some horrific, Futurama–style side effects

    This would be revolutionary, and I really hope it is true. I’m going to wait to see reports in some of the more credible medical journals before I get excited though.

        That looks related, but different to the “bone-02” this article is talking about. I spent a little time trying to track down anything about this latest stuff, and all the articles seem to link to each other or the Global Times, but not a peer reviewed source. The Global Times also says it is a “product” rather than a potential treatment going through clinical trials.

        Maybe it’s just me missing something and it is a genuine product designed off of the back of the research you linked, but I haven’t been able to confirm that, and that has me wondering about the veracity of the claim. As I said, I hope this claim is true and we see widespread adoption, but I’m holding off on the excitement until I see peer reviewed evidence of that.
