Title:	A one-hit model of cell death in inherited neuronal degenerations.
Authors:	Clarke, Geoff, Collins, Richard A., Leavitt, Blair R., Andrews, David F., Hayden, Michael R., Lumsden, Charles J., McInnes, Roderick R.
Source:	Nature. 7/13/2000, Vol. 406 Issue 6792, p195. 5p. 1 Diagram, 1 Chart, 2 Graphs.
Subjects:	Neurons, Cell death, Neurological disorders, Social degeneration, Aging
Abstract:	Reports on the kinetics of neuronal death and utilizes models of photoreceptor degeneration in order to illustrate how the risk of cell death remains constant or decreases exponentially with age. Background regarding premature neuronal death and general assumptions of it; Diseases examined in the study including Parkinson's and Huntington's; Conclusion that some environmental factors are related to cell death.
