Here he makes a shit extract of viruses from thin mice, which he hopes can make thick mice thinner. If the treatment is successful and can later be transmitted to humans, it has a huge potential. Although we know that the gut microbiome has a large impact on a wide range of diseases, fecal transplantation from a healthy donor to a sick recipient is used to a limited extent today, as there may be some risks. The new approach removes some of the risk and the hope is that over time the method can be developed into a completely safe treatment.
