Q: Our lab is getting ready to begin a project using one of your targeted toxins. We already did a preliminary experiment to try out the material, but we have a couple of questions before we start the larger project. First, do you have any protocols or references for injecting intrathecally? A: Thank you for

by Aaron Kucinski (Collaborators at University Michigan, Ann Arbor: K. Phillips, R. Albin, M. Sarter) In addition to the primary disease-defining symptoms that result from extensive loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, approximately half of patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) suffer from postural instability, impairments in gait control and a propensity for falls. These symptoms have
