   This is awesome news, although the fact that a for-profit company named   
   Lumicell was involved raises some concerns, I suppose.  Or maybe it's   
   time to abandon that quaint old nation of government-sponsored   
   researchers toiling away in the name of humanity and science.   
      
   This breakthrough will be for-profit, as will most of the rest of   
   medical technology of the past twenty years.
