‘Very big deal’: UW team uses stem cells to fix monkey hearts | Local News | The Seattle Times

I love seeing this. I have a terminal genetic disease in my family. Three of my siblings have Huntington's Chorea. I got lucky. I can't get it or pass it to my daughters. But it killed my father and will eventually take 3 of my 5 my sibs. These types of developments are hope for the future on many fronts. Albeit too late for my siblings, hopefully not for their kids.
