Apparently this protein cure is much more general than this. It seems to target "nonsense mutations", which is when the creation of a specific protein is hampered by an inadvertant "stop message" that shouldn't be there. This therapy might apply to a very wide range of diseases.

It does look like a nice breakthrough, but scientists can cure almost anything in mice. It will be interesting to see how well this treatment works once the human studies start.
