Article Abstract
Our study demonstrated clear and consistent improvement in clinical features and striatal fluorodopa uptake following fetal tissue transplantation in patients with advanced PD whose condition was not improved preoperatively by drug manipulation.These preliminary results are encouraging and support further studies to evaluate grafting strategies as a therapy for PD.
