A successful treatment for a really terrible disease.

The wonders of medical research are evolving so quickly. The thought that this therapy could eventually delay or even stop the disease process in those patients yet to see symptoms--the Huntington-0 stage patients from the article--is a stunning prospect.

Three cheers and applause for science!
