Did not know T cells could secrete Granzyme & Perforin. Always assumed they were NK specific.

Research has an economic return multiplier >1. So taxes don't even really pay for research. Research more than pays for itself, the taxes are just used to kick-start the positive economic cycle. The more money invested in research, the better the economy.

Personally I think we're miles away from being able to replace complex systems with in vitro alternatives. Not that in vivo is all that reliable either, but at least we have an idea of the weaknesses
