Default Gdnf Book Being Published

You might remember Nick Nelson, the health reporter who tells the GDNF story. His book is being published in a "matter of weeks." It includes the UK people too. Have to reach Tom Isaacs.

Title: Monkeys in the Middle: How one drug company kept a Parkinson's disease break through out of reach

Why were they halted?
