1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
The etiopathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) has been elusive. Recently, several lines of evidence have converged to suggest that defects in the ubiquitin-proteasome system and proteolytic stress underlie nigral pathology in both familial and sporadic forms of the illness.
