Urano's blog is worth a read today.

"We got encouraging results last week. It seems like that the same drug can potentially restore functions in beta cells and brain cells of Wolfram patients. Our results suggest that pancreatic beta cells and brain cells degenerate by the same mechanisms. Thus, a drug that can stop the degeneration of beta cells should be able to stop the degeneration of brain cells and eye cells. I was really encouraged. We should keep on moving forward."
