Autism Reversed in Mice at MIT Lab
ClayTapes writes "It seems that scientists at MIT have been able to reverse the effects of autism and some forms of mental retardation in mice caused by fragile X chromosomes. They do so by targeting an enzyme that changes the structure of connections between brain cells. The treatment actually repairs these structural abnormalities which suggests that it may be possible to reverse the effects in children who already show symptoms."
MIT scientists trying to cure something, just because it's heavily over-represented in MIT students?
I'm just saying, wouldn't it be easier to just cure datelessness?
Apology to Ubuntu forum.
If I had my druthers, your type would be tied down and forcibly treated. We don't need any more Spocks thinking (incorrectly, I hasten to add) they're better than the rest of us.
No I act as if any drug pushed as a panicea against a particular disease is a bad thing because its misinformation.. Gardisil: http://www.consultwebs.com/gardasil-HPV-lawsuits.h tml is being pushed despite the fact it is not been tested for any appreciable period of time because the commercials say '1 less' even though It could be one more. Great publicity..
