Hello all, I have been lurking on the list now for a couple of months. I am trying to gather all ther information I can about Parkinson's for my father-in-law, who was diagnosed about 5 years ago. I am happy I joined the list because of the high quality and volume of messages that are so pertinate to the questions bing asked. This is a quality list! I noticed Barb's report on the progress of PD research reported at the Florida convention, and both my fater-in-law and I are wondering if someone couldn't give us a good overview/update of the current state of affairs in the live cell research, both fetal and animal. I know Barb touched on the fetal side lightly, but I would like more detail if anyone had any. You can reply to the list or directly to my internet address, [log in to unmask] Thanks a bundle, this means a lot to us. Congratulations on an excellent source of information in serivce to PD persons everywhere.
