Evaluation of PLGA Nanoparticles Carrying Leukaemia Inhibitory Factor for Stromal-Like Support of Rat Fetal Dopaminergic Cells
After Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disease of the CNS. This currently incurable condition is characterised by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the ventral midbrain. New cell-based treatments for PD aim to reintroduce healthy dopaminergic (DA) cells to replace the lost dopaminergic input to the striatum which underlies many of the motor, and some of the cognitive, features of this disease. However, a critical step in this proce... view moreĀ»
