Adrenal medulla and substantia nigra co-grafts in peripheral nerve: chromaffin cells survive for long time periods and prevent degeneration of nigral neurons
Abstract
A series of degenerative cytoskeletal changes characterize grafts of embryonic substantia nigra when isolated for long time periods in the peripheral nervous system. This study was designed to determine whether the adrenal medulla could modulate the cytoskeletal changes in the substantia nigra when co-grafted within peripheral nerves. The sciatic nerves of young adult rats received single transplants of embryonic day 15 substantia nigra or …
