Can anyone in the field summarize the road map and how close we might be to using mRNA-based nanoparticles as a system–rewriting strategy that may point toward a true cure? I get that results exist only in preclinical animal studies (mice), with no published human trials yet. So would the next milestone be for small-scale human safety trials, similar to the early testing phases of the COVID mRNA vaccines? If so, could success be as quick as with the COVID mRNA vaccines, given how widespread allergies are becoming?

A peanut a day keeps the allergy away.

Might be the precursor tentacles for a new treatment. The roll out of the new peanut allergy mRNA jab with monthly injections.

Omalizumab already licensed for severe asthma, doesnt that sound like the Ozempic?

Its got an O, an I, an M, and a Z in it.

I am definitely on to something here.
