Encapsulation of primary dopaminergic neurons in a GDNF-loaded collagen hydrogel increases their survival, re-innervation and function after intra-striatal transplantation
(Nature Research, 2017-11-22)Poor graft survival limits the use of primary dopaminergic neurons for neural repair in Parkinson's disease. Injectable hydrogels have the potential to significantly improve the outcome of such reparative approaches by ... -
