Survival and Functional Restoration of Human Fetal Ventral Mesencephalon following Transplantation in a Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease
Cell replacement therapy by intracerebral transplantation of fetal dopaminergic neurons has become a promising therapeutic option for patients suffering from Parkinson's disease during the last decades. However, limited availability of human fetal tissue as well as ethical issues, lack of alter...
