Clinical testing of epigenetic resetting therapies is required for several more years to ensure safety before wider use.

“So we need to find ways to make this new very potent effect safe. So, you know, you could theoretically come to my lab and I could inject you with this stuff and you could take doxycycline and turn it on for as long as you want, and that's all theoretical. But we're not crazy, we're not going to do that. We probably need another few years of clinical testing before I can say that this is going to be usable in a wider context.”
