The brain learns due to neurons using multiple mechanisms to store knowledge according to a new study by researchers.

AskBio's approach meanwhile will involve using an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector to deliver a gene for human glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) into the neurons in the putamen.

Methods: Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF ... the GDNF-loaded aligned nanofibrous scaffold significantly enhanced and directed the outgrowth of primary rat neurons cultured on its ...
