Gene-based ALS treatment

This is basically an advertisement for the company that's making the treatment. It makes sure to mention that they have an exclusive license, blah blah, etc., etc.

In any case, it talks about using gene therapy on mice who have familial Lou Gehrig's disease. Apparently their treatment halts the progress of the disease. I am extra skeptical due to the tone of the piece (specifically, the tone is "please invest in us").
