Description

This document encapsulates key recommendations resulting from the PD-AGE workshop, focusing on the critical decision of choosing non-human primate (NHP) species for modelling Parkinson's disease (PD) and understanding the impact of ageing on PD pathology. Through comprehensive discussions with experts, the workshop leaders discussed the irreplaceable role of NHP models and identified an ideal NHP species to model PD. The document provides a rationale for these choices and serves as a valuable guide for researchers navigating the selection of NHP species in PD and ageing studies, fostering informed decisions and advancing translational research in this crucial field.

The expert panel in this workshop was: Benjamin Dehay, Erwan Bezard, Jia-Yi Li, Romina Aron-Badin, Yoland Smith, Marina E. Emborg, Simon Borgognon, Ryosuke Takahashi, Jun Takahashi, John H Morrison, Rozalyn Anderson, Ashley Boehringer, Calista Holt, Julia Gambardella
