Maybe I missed this, but 2 weeks in fruit flies and 3 months in mice probably translates into something much longer in humans, on the order of a year or two maybe, if not longer? That's a pretty long time to be on an immune-suppressing drug with pretty significant side effects.
It's still an important bit of information if it replicates, but I think it might not be as clinically practical as it sounds from the press release.
