ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to implantation of encapsulated PC12 cells capable of slowing or preventing the degenerative processes of Parkinson's disease by releasing factors in addition to dopamine into individuals suffering from the disease. This restorative effect continues even after the encapsulated cells are removed from the patient's brain.
