  Yeah there are still several stages of clinical trials before this gets to market. Here’s hoping though!

  I’m not an expert, but looking at the research paper this is just blocking one one particular vitamin a receptor, so most functions of vitamin A would not be affected. Once concern is that this particular receptor (RAR-alpha) is partially responsible for neutrophil production, although they didn’t notice any changes in animal tests, possibly because those receptors are tucked away inside your bone marrow. Still could be a concern with long term use though…

  As a longtime donor of the project, last I checked there were still concerns about the reversability of the project.

  I enjoyed playing the game on Xbox and I am happy to claim it for PC, but I kid you not the Ubisoft Connect client hangs when I try to open the Ubisoft store. As others have said, there’s really no need for them to have their own client. Just use Steam!
