Smooth Operator: Cyclop's Nemesis
Smoothened Agonist (SAD) is known to operate on the protein Smoothened, which is important in limb and neutral differentiation, including bone growth. Hans's objective is to engineer a vehicle for the delivery of SAG, thereby stimulating new bone formation, and in the most extreme case, rescuing the condition of cyclopia.
