This application was immediately approved, because verifying Zhao Yi's pathological mechanism hypothesis may provide a way forward to tackle the difficult problem of Rheumatoid Arthritis--
If the hypothesis about the mechanism is correct, research should continue following this direction.
If it is wrong, then a different direction must be taken.
Huang Youming has strong confidence in the research application because he has enormous faith in Zhao Yi. Think about the same time last year, Zhao Yi published a speculative paper on myocarditis.
What was the result?
Subsequent experiments proved everything was correct.
Now we are dealing with a reasonable mechanical inference backed by experimental data, which is far more reliable than a direct hypothesis.
If part of it can be verified as correct, significant results could be obtained.
It is much better than towing the heavy sled of researching the rheumatoid factor.
Of course.
