Good question, but I have no idea.
From reading the announcement, it SEEMS like they got an an actual brain and spinal cord.
“[SWBB] has received its first donation of the brain and spinal cord of a post-finasteride syndrome (PFS) patient.”
I also have no idea who the deceased PFS patient is, but I imagine it’s not Daniel Stewart because he passed away 16 months ago:
pfsfoundation.org/news/danie … 1976-2014/
Maybe another one of the patients in one of the PFS clinical studies took his own life more recently and his family – having read about Daniel Stewart – decided to try to help medical science by setting up a brain bank?
Anyway, all very tragic. But it seems to be a positive move in the right direction. The more that researchers know about the pathology of PFS victims, the easier it will be to find a cure.
