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.
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) promotes the survival or differentiation of several types of neurons. This study examines GDNF-induced signal transduction and biological effects in cultured striatal neurons. Results show that GDNF addition to striatal cultures transiently increase
