Abstract excerpt
Neural progenitor cells potentially provide a limitless, on-demand source of cells for grafting into patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) if the signals needed to control their conversion into dopamine (DA) neurons could be identified. We have recently shown that cytokines which instruct cell division and differentiation within the hematopoeitic system may provide similar functions in the central nervous...
