Is McKay, who we interviewed for GRC several years ago and was not one to use hype and had his doubts about the validity of some of the claims that were being made at the time,[particularly about stem cells and alzheimers] saying that the FOXA2 isn't differentiating dopamine neurons, which is causing them to spontaneously destruct? He also works with animals the right age compared to people who most often get PD as a model. If MPTP works just as well because we are getting it younger and younger, it sounds very hopeful that they have traced one cause, genetic biomarker, and a target.

I'll try to get the whole article. And yes Carey, the irony of the name is jumping off the page at me. Good thing he is experienced at feeling special, as I don't know if I could handle that one even with all of his experience. It's not the AliA2, or the RenoA2. He always says he's a lucky man and feels like he won the lottery. Maybe it was from all that time travel.
