    After just three months of enzyme inhibition, brain cells once on the brink of death were functioning more like those in healthy mice

    I have nothing against mice, but I don’t think I’d want my brain to function like theirs.

      Here’s the thing: it does already. That’s why mice are great early research animals.

        “Close enough” is not close enough.

        No reason to think that Parkinson’s would be any different.

            Humans have no right to experiment on other living beings.

              Also this, but I thought it went without saying.

                Unfortunately carnists are still experimenting on animals.

                  Descartes should have just said “cogito ergo sum” and published his coordinate system and quit while he was ahead.

    This is so exciting! Also glad to see it’s based in Scotland which isn’t cancelling science at the moment.
