I think it is obvious we need to pay 'more' attention to resilience factors, and invest 'more' in understanding what is vulnerable. How can we use 'intrinsic characteristics' of cells to our advantage? To use a Star Wars analogy, 'use the force Luke.' Let us move – a fortiori – with stronger reason.

Age, the chief risk factor for numerous neurodegenerative disorders, impairs AAV CNS transduction.
