Abstract
Decades of research have identified the pathological and pathophysiological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD): profound deficit in brain dopamine and other monoamines, pathological α-synuclein aggregation, synaptic and neuronal network dysfunction, aberrant proteostasis, altered energy homeostasis, inflammation, and neuronal cell death. The purpose of this contribution is to present the phenocopy aspect, pathogenic, and etiologic nonhuman primate (NHP) models of PD to readers with limited prior knowledge of PD so that they are ready to start working on PD. How NHPs, the closest species to man on which we can model diseases, contribute to the knowledge progress and how these models represent an invaluable translational step in therapeutic development are highlighted.
期刊介绍:
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine is a monthly online publication comprising reviews on different aspects of a variety of diseases, covering everything from the molecular and cellular bases of disease to translational medicine and new therapeutic strategies.
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine is thus unmatched in its depth of coverage and represents an essential source where readers can find informed surveys and critical discussion of advances in molecular medicine.
