  Did you expect them to start testing it on humans before mice?

    No but I expect the 'in mice' to be part of the headline because its quite an important detail

    It sounds very obvious, but there are some macroscopic medical phenomena that apply only to mice and small rodents. For example, I recently learnt that you can freeze hamsters and then "thaw" them in a microwave and they'll just wake and continue to live normally; this doesn't seem to work with humans unfortunately. Just imagine the applications, you wouldn't even need a regional hospitals; just freeze everyone and send them to a centralised mega hospital and ship them back when healed. (As an aside, this was one of the first ever uses of a microwave.)
