Abstract excerpt

The aetiology of the selective neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) is still unknown. Neurotrophic factors, e.g. glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), have been shown to promote survival of dopaminergic neurons. Interestingly, aged mice lacking GDNF-receptor (RET) in their...
