Abstract

Clinical implications of three areas of basic neuroscience research are described in this review paper. These areas include: (1) the discovery of protein kinase C and its implications for diabetic neuropathy, (2) analysis of single ionic channels and the basis of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome and cystic fibrosis, and (3) the cloning of genes for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis and new approaches to the treatment of these diseases.
