That is good news but the safety trials will be a bugger............one molecular slip by those ever so often mutating virus's and they might attack normal brain cells as well as the cells with the amyloid plaques.

It's certainly a start but there's a long road to travel between a successful mouse study and a FDA approved drug. That road is full of pot holes !!
