More to come on this I'm sure but it looks like it could be very good news.

I wonder how that research was paid for?

Wash U is heavily endowed and I'd guess it was funded by entities which have an interest in the outcome.

The Washington Times states "Their research had been funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, both entities within NIH." I think a lot of the research you question may have more important results than you give credit for.
