Four-Year Follow-up of Adrenal-to-Brain Transplants in Parkinson's Disease
Arch Neurol 51:559-563, Diamond,S.G.,et al, 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
After 4 years,transplants continued to be beneficial to three patients and had been of brief transient benefit to the fourth.The course of disease was more benign postoperatively and preoperatively and was more slowly progressive than that in the cohort.Improvement was not sufficient to justify adrenal transplants as routine therapy but does point the way to the use of other dopamine tissue transplantation.
