Ms. Moderators...
Would it be possible to have a "sticky" for things that offer immediate hope such as unexpected findings about existing drugs? Recent reports on hydralazine, for example. Ancient drug for blood pressure. Oh, whatta you know, looks like it protects and repairs brain cells! There was another about an old TB drug. Ron has pointed out similar reports for other blood pressure meds. All those get lost quickly.
