Core Tip |
Strategies to stop neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease are currently unavailable. In the present study, transplantation of neurally induced mesenchymal stem cells or overexpressing glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor to the substantia nigra of hemiparkinsonian rats not only exerted a regenerative effect, but promoted functional restoration. This treatment may have the potential to improve clinical outcome. |
