Scientific Commentary

Histological analysis of fetal dopamine cell suspension grafts in two patients with Parkinson's disease gives promising results

The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

In this issue of Brain (pages 1498–1510), Mendez and collaborators report the postmortem analysis of brains from two patients with Parkinson's disease who had received grafts of brain tissue dissected from the developing ventral mesencephalic region, obtained from 6- to 9-week-old aborted fetuses, which is known to contain the appropriate type of dopamine neurones lost in these patients as a result of their disease. The most important aspect of this report is the fact that this is the first time we have been able to evaluate the outcome of so-called cell suspension grafts, a more refined cell preparation technique than has been used in the previously reported . . .
