Imagine losing the ability to control your physical movements or the ability to control coordination. These two symptoms, along with many more, happen to people who suffer from the genetically dominant, neurodegenerative disorder Huntington's Disease. Currently, there is no cure for Huntington's Disease and no way to stop the disease once it has begun. Even though there are a few drugs available to relieve some of the symptoms that occur with the disease, researchers are actively looking for treatment options.

Charles Darwin had a theory. A theory that people and animals could evolve by growing, changing and adapting to their conditions. Evolution, now widely known and accepted throughout the world of science, still has many unknown factors, and how certain things evolve is still being studied. How proteins evolve from having one function to multiple functions, and how RNA molecules evolve from being unimportant to having vital roles in cell regulation are a few of the things that scientists are still researching.

As children, we are often taught to avoid contact with wild animals that can potentially carry deadly diseases that can be transferred to humans or other animals, such as rabies. Once someone has been bit by an animal infected with rabies, it doesn't take long for the disease to spread into the central nervous system, where it becomes fatal. There has always been only a small time frame where treatment for rabies can be sought. The real threat of rabies have been shown in popular culture in movies such as "Old Yeller" and "Cujo."
