Parkinson's disease is characterized by the progressive degeneration of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. Several studies have examined the effects of the dopaminergic neurotrophins growth/differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) on these neurons in vitro.

## Abstract Growth/differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) is a novel member of the transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) superfamily of multifunctional cytokines. We show here that GDF5 is expressed in the developing CNS including the mesencephalon and acts as a neurotrophic, survival promoting molecule fo
