Hamlet's Inbox

There are many theories as to quite what drove the Prince of Denmark mad.

The perceived faithlessness of the Queen? His initial lack of courage to revenge his father swiftly and violently?

A dodgy batch of Swedish mushrooms? Too many emails?

A very good story about William Shatner et al.--if you like ST:TOS and ST:TNG, do have a look ;)
(yes, it does have a number of 4-letter words, but...)

Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] capt_facepalm for pointing this video out!

BREAKING NEWS: The FDA has granted accelerated approval to eteplirsen for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy! Decades of MDA research and investment have paid off with the first disease-modifying drug available to treat DMD.
We are filled with hope.

(from the Muscular Dystrophy Association)
~~
Sarepta is seeking accelerated approval for eteplirsen for patients with DMD who have a confirmed mutation of the dystrophin gene
amenable to exon 51 skipping (≈13% of patients with DMD).

In such patients, skipping of exon 51 might restore the reading frame of dystrophin, increase the production of dystrophin, and lead to
a clinical benefit for patients.

(from the FDA proposal, which you may see here)
