KEY TAKEAWAY

A laboratory result suggests a direction for further work; it is not a ready-made treatment plan.

What the experiment tests

When reading a laboratory study, identify the model, conditions and measured effect. A positive result answers the experiment's specific question.

What to find out next

Suitability for human use requires separate assessment of delivery, safety and clinical outcomes. A substance name and a persuasive illustration of its mechanism do not replace these steps.

Where to explore next

ClinicalTrials.gov lets you find registered clinical trials. A planned trial, a completed study and published results are different stages; these statuses should not be treated as interchangeable.
