Madison is flourishing while Marinette is dying
M adison, Wis. - I am a northern Wisconsin boy - Marinette County. My hometown, Marinette, has lost over 30 percent of its population since I grew up there in the 1950s and 1960s. Why? It can be summed up in three words: young people's decisions. Local columnist John Roach once told me ......E-120 is composed of an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector carrying the gene for neurturin, a naturally occurring protein known to repair damaged and dying dopamine-secreting neurons, keeping them alive and restoring normal function. Neurturin is a member of the same protein family as glial cell-derived ...
