Lovers of 80s movies know the Brat Pack. The group of stars who graced the silver screen in films like Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and St. Elmos Fire were teen sensations and helped a generation grapple with coming-of-age issues in high school. Most have gone on to blossom into illustrious film careers, but they will always be remembered for their run in the 1980s film scene. While most also eventually bowed gracefully out of show business down the line, Andrew McCarthy was one member who had been out of the spotlight since the 90s.
Deadline is reporting that McCarthy will be rejoining his cohorts for the Hulu documentary titled Brats. McCarthy had written a memoir called Brat: An 80s story and has now written and directed the documentary that is currently in post-production. The film description reads, “McCarthy crisscrosses the country to meet up with some...

New York, June 19 (Ians) An experimental stem cell therapy has reduced seizure frequency by almost 95 per cent in the first two epilepsy patients, according to early results of a trial. Developed by San Francisco-based biotech Neurona Therapeutics, the single dose therapy, called Nrtx-1001, involves lab-grown neurons which are injected in the patients to silence the seizure activity in the epileptic region of the brain.
The regenerative neural cell therapy, Nrtx-1001, was derived from human pluripotent stem cells.
The preliminary data demonstrate promising reduction (90 per cent) in seizure frequency in the first and second patients at one year and seven-months post-treatment, respectively. In addition, neuropsychological testing suggests an improvement in memory after Nrtx-1001 administration.
“Although our clinical investigation is ongoing in additional patients, it is gratifying to witness the first two patients achieving seizure relief without additional cognitive impairment to date,” said Cory Nicholas, the CEO of Neurona Therapeutics, in a statement.
