Cell-Mediated Delivery of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Enhances Dopamine Levels in an Mpp+ Rat Model of Substantia Nigra Degeneration
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promotes the survival of fetal mesencephalic dopaminergic cells and protects dopaminergic neurons against the toxicity of MPP+ in vitro. Supranigral implantation of fibroblasts genetically engineered to secrete BDNF attenuates the loss of substantia nigra par...
