## Abstract Degeneration of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra causes Parkinson's disease. Therefore, neurotrophic factors for dopaminergic neurons are of substantial clinical interest. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)โ20 preferentially expressed in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNPC)
Polycationic molecules were studied either for their ability to displace the binding of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to high-and low-affinity membrane interaction sites and/or to modulate bFGF-induced proliferation of fibroblasts. Heparin-binding polypeptides, such as polylysine, protamine
