(Very technical report. Girija would like your assessment of this. Madelyn)
Very interesting. PD does seem to follow some similar pathways to autoimmune diseases. For example tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is elevated in PD, as it also is in most autoimmune diseases. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
