Like most things Trump touches, the Reflecting Pool is now in worse shape than before. Adding cosmetic paint did not solve the underlying problem. And now he baselessly blames vandals for his failure. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

FDA Reversal On uniQure Gene Therapy Is Another Sign Of Renewed Regulatory Flexibility
UniQure is preparing to seek accelerated FDA approval for its Huntington’s disease gene therapy, a move that follows the FDA’s reversal of its prior position calling for another clinical trial. This gene therapy is the latest in a growing list of rare disease treatments to receive reconsideration from an FDA that appears to be swinging back to regulatory flexibility.
