Combining Gene Transfer and Nonhuman Primates to Better Understand and Treat Parkinson's Disease.

abstract：:The role of ion channels in neurons and muscles has been well characterized. However, recent work has demonstrated both the presence and necessity of ion channels in diverse cell types for morphological development. For example, mutations that disrupt ion channels give rise to abnormal structural development in specie...
