Pleiotrophin over-expression provides trophic support to dopaminergic neurons in parkinsonian rats
BACKGROUND: Pleiotrophin is known to promote the survival and differentiation of dopaminergic neurons in vitro and is up-regulated in the substantia nigra of Parkinson's disease patients. To establish whether pleiotrophin has a trophic effect on nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons in vivo, we in...
