Growth/differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) is a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily that has potent neurotrophic and protective effects on dopaminergic neurones and is expressed in the developing rat substantia nigra (the ventral mesencephalon; VM). GDF5 has the potential to be used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by the...
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a potent neurotrophic factor for mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons. Subpopulations of these neurons express the calcium-binding proteins calbindin (CB) and calretinin (CR). Understanding the specific effects of GDNF on these neurons is important for the development of an optimal cell replacement therapy for Parkinson's disease. To investigate...
