I heard about these tiny "robot" pills that target specific genes/dna (not in the hereditary/permanent sense, just in the activation) to turn on and off certain genes in the cells. Is this what you are talking about?
I personally am hoping the medicines get a lot "smarter" soon, because although I am grateful to have a med combo that works, and usually feel the side effects are a minor nuisance, sometimes I get impatient with them.
