$SANA Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of the reporting of UP421 successfully being transplanted and surviving for 30 days en vivo into a Type 1 Diabetic. I suppose history will ultimately mark the actual date UP421 was implanted as the triumphant moment, and make no mistake, implanting foreign cells into a human without the immune system rejecting them is truly historically triumphant, a true marker of time in human history, but Jan 7th, to me, and maybe to you, was the day the world changed. A moment where an observably new facet of medicine, and of biology occurred.
A question to you if you feel inclined to answer: What would you name this day? Can we make that name stick into history as well?
Happy January 7th.
