We have had hopes for HD treatments dashed many times before. It’s hard to not be cynical, but this one seems like it could be the real thing.<p>Godspeed to everybody working on this...with an emphasis on the “speed” part.

Does anyone have a link to a more technical description of this therapy? From what I&#x27;ve found it&#x27;s a small anti-sense RNA targeting the mutant huntingtin gene. But I don&#x27;t see a description of a delivery vehicle, or if there even is one. The drug seems to have pretty big implications if it works, but I&#x27;ll be frankly amazed if all they had to do was inject the bare nucleic acid into the CSF.
