Why is it important?
There is no standard option to slow down progressive neuronal loss in Parkinson's disease, So focusing on strategies based on neurotrophic-therapy may hold promise for patients suffering from the parkinson's disease.
Perspectives
We hope this article helps investigators to focous on the clinical use of neurotrophic factors.
