Texas Dude & All: a couple rookie TTNP questions. Could you expound on two things in the release,

<utilized a well-established and validated rhesus monkey model of Parkinson's disease to evaluate Spheramine, which consists of therapeutic dopamine producing human cells attached to gelatin based microcarriers.>

What is the "well established and validated rhesus monkey model"?
I was not aware that monkeys developed Parkinson's, but I'm not a biologist either.

And what is the source for "therapeutic dopamine producing human cells"? I don't think this could be a live donor program (unless it's from chinese prisoners or some other henious program), so is this cloning, a form of organ donation following accidental death or what?
Curious, Scott
