Scientists have just slowed down Huntington’s disease, a fatal genetic disorder once thought unstoppable. The new gene therapy called AMT-130 has demonstrated a 75% slowing of disease progression over three years in a Phase I/II clinical trial. It’s a breakthrough that’s been decades in the making.
