DCA is currently used to treat mitochondrial diseases in children. Mitochondria, which are the metabolic power houses of cells, and which also regulate cell death, are damaged in cancerous cells. This gives the cancerous cells an advantage over normal cells and helps protect them against chemotherapy.

It has been tested in test tubes and animal subjects.

While it's done some great things for the mathematicians, it's lead entire generations of physicists to pursue it with very little to show for it. Expect more about string theory in this journal as well as related topics to physics.
