… but don't hold your breath.

Interesting new science which may provide an alternative treatment in future:

I can post a PDF of the scientific paper if required; it's pretty dense reading though

Thanks, odo!

That would be too good to be true, wouldn't it? Perhaps in the future?

Breath not being held.

Somehow using a few $million worth of genetic engineering with implanted frankengenes seems a tough way to get “the same results as allopurinol.”

I guess these pie in the sky articles keep researchers in grant money.

It seems a good idea if this system of treatment is truly capable of self regulation.

Due to lack of proper monitoring of drug therapies in not just gout- this is a big plus !
