## Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic (DA) neurons. The therapeutic potential of glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), the most potent neurotrophic factor for DA neurons, has been dem
