The use of embryonic dopaminergic tissues for Parkinson's Disease transplantation therapy. (360G-Wellcome-089638_Z_09_Z)
Overall aim: Improve dopamine cell yield and function in Parkinson's disease transplantation therapy (in rats) . Objective 1: Investigate the time course of dopamine neuron development in-vitro and in dopamine grafts. Objective 2: Characterise cell populations in rat and human embryonic dopamine grafts in a rat model of PD. Objective 3: Improve the survival of rat and human embryonic dopamine grafts and cultures. Objective 4: Determine the embryonic donor age in human embryos from which > 50% survival can be obtained (equivalent to E12 in rats).
