Long-term, stable, targeted biodelivery and efficacy of GDNF from encapsulated cells in the rat and Goettingen miniature pig brain

Delivering glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to the brain is a potential treatment for Parkinson's Disease (PD). Here we use an implantable encapsulated cell technology that uses modified human clonal ARPE-19 ​cells to deliver of GDNF to the brain. In vivo studies demonstrated...
