Huntington’s disease: Neurological illness treated in ‘one shot,’ researcher says

A new kind of gene therapy could significantly slow the progression of Huntington's disease with a single operation, according to one of the researchers behind the discovery.

Huntington's disease treated for first time

"""
It means the decline you would normally expect in one year would take four years after treatment, [..].

The first symptoms of Huntington's disease tend to appear in your 30s or 40s and is normally fatal within two decades.
"""

Wow, one might then very well merely die "with" it, instead of "from" it.

Huntington's disease, a fatal genetic condition, has been successfully treated for the first time. @BBCNews reports on a type of gene therapy developed at University College London that slows the disease by 75% in patients. It offers the first signs of hope for sufferers of this brutal and terrible condition, which kills brain cells, leading to symptoms that resemble dementia, Parkinson's and motor neurone disease, and is usually fatal within two decades of diagnosis.

🧓 How aging drives neurodegenerative diseases 🧠

A research team at the University of Cologne has identified a direct molecular link between aging and neurodegeneration by investigating how age-related changes in cell signalling contribute to toxic protein aggregation.

💊 The results could lead to new therapies for #ALS, Huntington's disease and other age-related brain disorders.
