Parkinson's Disease
This such a terrible disease that strikes people of any age. Michael J. Fox and Mohammed Ali are good examples. Now they say gene theraphy shows promise for easing the symptoms of this disease. The first test included 12 people and they had side effects. But now a treatment seemed to improve the symtoms without those side effects. This gene theraphy involved slipping billions of copies of a gene into the brain to calm overactive brain circuitry. It's too soon to draw conclusions but the results are promising and merits further studies.
