Kenyon's Worms
The San Francisco Chronicle had an interesting article this past weekend that can be found on their website.
They discuss Kenyon's Worms, a genetically altered version of a common worm that lives much longer than it's unaltered kin. And they believe it has implications for the treatment of Huntington's Disease along with slowing down the aging process.
This is MANY years from being a viable therapy, but the article touches on a number of interesting genetic topics with mentions of HD. Check it out.
