Trophic restoration of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway in long-term carotid body-grafted parkinsonian rats
(2003)
We studied the mechanisms underlying long-term functional recovery of hemiparkinsonian rats grafted intrastriatally with carotid body (CB) cell aggregates. Amelioration of their motor syndrome is a result of the trophic ...

Selective Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Production in Adult Dopaminergic Carotid Body Cells In Situ and after Intrastriatal Transplantation
(2005)
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) exerts a notable protective effect on dopaminergic neurons in rodent and primate models of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The clinical applicability of this therapy is, however, ...

Carotid Body Transplants as a Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)
Affecting over 1.5 million people across the world, Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological condition characterized, in part, by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. It affects ...
