A researcher named Doug Lappy figured out how to bind to a receptor causing the cell to die but preventing the molecule from entering other cells, unlike ricin. The mortality rate significantly decreased as he examined this mechanism further.

The key to maintaining the health of the lungs for patients on a ventilator is to have one big breath every so often to increase lung volume and pop open the alveoli which allows for a lower mortality rate.

Saprin, a poisonous protein, can be used to target specific cells by attaching it to a peptide ligand which binds to the receptors of those cells, allowing for precision in the destruction of unhealthy cells; this technique has been tested in rats with promising results.
