These immobile aggregations clog the cells, reduce their efficiency and eventually cause them to die. In Wisconsin, Dr. Johan Bjorksten is trying to find suitable enzymes, most likely from soil bacteria, that will reduce these massed molecules to small fragments that could be excreted from the cells. Such enzymes would probably be injected daily into the body with a hypodermic syringe; if the injections were...
