Great! But, that may be too late for people like Glenn Campbell. They should start the human trials now.

Yeah, protocol gets in the way of people who have nothing to lose.

hopefully it'll bet human trials soon for people who are past "recovery"
way too many with these issues.

I hope they rush that through the trials on humans. I have two dear friends whose husbands have it. Both are near death now.

My grandmother had it too. Fortunately something else got her first before she completely couldn't recognize any of us.

Yes, I remember hearing about your grandmother and her many issues. And you are right, her dying at the point she did was a blessing.
Yeah, same with my Dad..............as you know having heard all about it at the time.

I agree that human trials should start ASAP for those with nothing to lose as long as everyone in the family agrees and knows the possible risks. Truly great news!

Over the years, I've seen various headlines about a cure for AIDS, Alzheimer's, various cancers, etc., then I never hear anymore about it.
I hope this one is legit, but I'm naturally skeptical.

Yeah. Guess most appear to have promise but later testing proves that false. And, with this one, I suspect it's a long way from ultrasounding a mouse brain from ultrasounding a human brain.
