The main side effect was, as indicated, weight loss. They’re trying to identify and understand others and once they can make a biological model for them they’ll start drug design. Ideally something smaller and tailored to the specific model. But they’ll take anything safe and effective given the piles of money from a blockbuster.

Still gone of biological mechanisms that are unknown, even unsuspected. Meatbags ain’t quite engineering yet.
