It depends, showing promise in mice / or culture is one step. The next steps are harder, so yeeeeay for base science, but dont let it fool you to think it will be ready in a year (if memory serves, 5-10 years is the norm for drugs)

If humans had mice as pets the way we do dogs, we could do some wild stuff with all this technology

To be fair, the way we use experimental animals (and their service) is to have human like tissue with “faults” in them to get cancers etc. But for sure there would be some darn survivable mice and rats arouns

It's a bit like planting trees. The ones you plant today will be mature in 10-20 years (just as an example, I know there are fast growing trees), the more you keep planting the more trees there will be around.
