FX, re. testing on multiple donors. The problem is you have to wait for donors, they are not always available at the right time and there are often not that many. In the UK there were only 2474 registered cases of IPF in the 6 years between 2013 and 2019, so not a large pool to donate.
When they did the first preclinical a couple of years ago, it was delayed a few months for exactly this reason.
So, whilst it may have only been a single donor, the massive plus point is that it was tested on human tissue.
