Huntington’s Disease Cured in Mice

Wow. Researchers have been able to stop mice from developing Huntington’s disease symptoms by inhibiting an enzyme that works on a protein, that is responsible for destroying brain function. This is fantastic news and was published in the peer-reviewed journal Cell.

This breakthrough illustrates a too often forgotten point: Most of biotechnology is uncontroversial, as in this case, in which there is not an embryonic stem cell in sight.

Post Script: Animals were needed in this medical researchers. If it were up to the animal liberationists, this wonderful potential breakthrough would never have been discovered.
