A Breakthrough Cure for Ebola
30th May 2010
Last week, in what may be the biggest medical breakthrough of its kind in years, a group of scientists published results in The Lancet describing a completely new type of anti-viral treatment that appears to cure Ebola. They report a 100% success rate, although admittedly the test group was very small, just 4 rhesus monkeys.
So it’s not really a cure yet, but a major milestone suggesting that a cure is possible. Still, an amazing achievement.
