Rescue of Motoneurons from Axotomy-Induced Cell Death by Polymer Encapsulated Cells Genetically Engineered to Release CNTF
The neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) results from the progressive loss of motoneurons, leading to death in a few years. Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), which decreases naturally occurring and axotomy-induced cell death, may result in slowing of motoneuron loss and ha...
