More concerning was that there were a number of controls that were either not done or not reported, which makes the conclusions of this part of the study tenuous.
Purification, in particular, tends to be tenuous with previous studies culminating in an inactive protein following purification.
Over the past decade, NASA has sent the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to map the Moon; the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite to crash land near the south pole in search of water; the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory to plumb the Moon's gravity field; and the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) to study its tenuous outer atmosphere.

Without real-time monitoring of exposure reporting, preservation of the temporal exposure disease relationship an implicit assumption of the prospective cohort study design may be particularly tenuous when transient exposures are investigated longitudinally.
