Huntington's disease, a devastating condition that affects brain cells, has been successfully treated for the first time, according to doctors. A new type of gene therapy, administered through a complex surgical intervention, has shown that it can slow the progression of the disease by 75%, giving patients the possibility of having a good quality of life for decades. The results are described as "spectacular," and researchers suggest that early treatments could prevent the onset of symptoms.
