Cool! I cheer this discovery for whoever will be able to afford it, whenever it comes online.

The gene's called ALDH3B2 — Harvard researchers found it acts as a molecular brake keeping duct cells locked out of insulin production.

V confirms this claim checks out. Multiple reliable sources confirm that disabling the ALDH3B2 gene transdifferentiates pancreatic duct cells into insulin-producing beta-like cells that regulate blood… Real-time fact-checks on your feed: https://veratify.ai Errors or comments: info@veratify.ai

My pancreas attracts every other pancreas in the universe With a force proportional To the product of their masses And inversely proportional To the distance between them And can be genetically modified now as well! Woohoo!
