Debi, I saw that MJFF was one of the funders of this and am very grateful. From what I have read, the current disease model has left researchers with a less than ideal situation with which to work, and I and others are hoping this new mouse model will really propel the understanding of PD forward. Thanks so much for helping with this huge improvement in the way research will hopefully be conducted.
