@taipan Hello, there was some excitement about this as a potential treatment a couple of years ago.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8648444/
However, the original article was "Retracted" by the publisher in 2023.
Here is their explanation:
"Discrepancies in scope
Discrepancies in the description of the research reported
Discrepancies between the availability of data and the research described
Inappropriate citations
Incoherent, meaningless and/or irrelevant content included in the article
Peer-review manipulation
The presence of these indicators undermines our confidence in the integrity of the article's content and we cannot, therefore, vouch for its reliability. Please note that this notice is intended solely to alert readers that the content of this article is unreliable. We have not investigated whether authors were aware of or involved in the systematic manipulation of the publication process."

At this point the only ongoing research appears to be for use in certain lung cancer patients.
