Scientists have found a way to restore brain cells impaired by a rare and life-threatening genetic disorder called Timothy syndrome.
A type of drug known as an antisense oligonucleotide allowed clusters of human neurons to develop normally even though they carried the mutation responsible for Timothy syndrome, a team reports in the journal Nature.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel there's hope for the MAGA MINIONS...
The approach may help researchers develop treatments for other genetic conditions, including some that cause schizophrenia, epilepsy, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder.
