Prevention of motoneuron death by adenovirus-mediated neurotrophic factors
1 May 1997
Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive loss of motoneurons, and has no effective treatment. Experimental studies in rodents have shown that motoneurons respond to a variety of molecules including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). and the glial-cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). Here we investigated the neuroprotective effect of...
