So you're telling me that due to unsightly high regulatory boundaries in the industrial arena this technology did not meet the necessary standards to be applicable, but the regulatory standards were low enough in the life science/biology field to usher in a new era in medical science. Please tell me I am not the only one who sees an issue that hasn't been substantially addressed.
