We know that in vivo studies on mouse models of Parkinson's disease revealed high aggressive potential of misfolded protein to propagate in brain tissue and cause degeneration (Brundin et al.). Also, we know that the progress of pathology in the patients brain is a step-by-step process during the time (Braak et al.). Now, how could it be possible that all these research during last 10 years had gone in wrong direction? Furthermore, similar studies on mouse model of Parkinson's disease showed high vulnerability of transplanted cells to degeneration after pathology invasion. Is it a problem with animal models that makes them incomparable with what is going on in patients?
