Neurotrophic‐4/5 is a survival factor for embryonic midbrain dopaminergic neurons in enriched cultures
1 Jan 1994
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease is a prevalent neurological disease characterized by profound and incapacitating movement disorders. A common pathology in Parkinson's patients is degeneration of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons that innervate the striatum and a corresponding decrease in striatal dopamine content. We now report that NT-4/5 can prevent the death of rat embryonic substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons in...
