what I find really interesting is the way all these diseases seem to share the same mechanisms but in different cell groups. So a cure for PD may come out of AD research, or PD research may help Huntingdon's people (a horrific disease if ever there was one). And people with rarer diseases such a PSP where there is little research may benefit too.
