      future studies will need to investigate if similar pathways are possible in humans (though the authors suggest they don’t see why they wouldn’t)

      Why wouldn’t an extra-cellular protein have a similar pathways in humans as worms? This research will be easy. Any amyloids in the semen? How about the uterine fluid? Done.
