Still, lead researcher Dr. Ronald Petersen was encouraged, seeing this as a first step in a process by which scientists "could start to nudge back the onset of the disease by years," possibly even postponing it altogether.

Director Wolfgang Petersen, writer David Benioff and their cohort just about pull it off.
