Yes in mice but this is startling to me that you can just drop a random protein from one species and have it work in another. Whatever weird programming language life is made from it seems to be a surprisingly forgiving environment. I wonder if the leap between a fish and a mouse is less than the distance between a mouse and a human?

And no I doubt this will suddenly work in humans I’m more just fascinated by genetics proteins and life in general and just constantly amazed any of this works at all.
