Left-Handed Sugars
Ely Lilly and Noxxon Pharma have figured out a way to combat migraines with strands of RNA. Normally, the strands are so delicate as to be destroyed by the body’s defenses and rendered ineffective. However, the left-handed rotation of these molecules runs in the opposite direction of most RNA, so they slip through the body undetected and attach themselves to a chemical that causes migraines.
