genetically modified white blood cells called macrophages to produce glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor, or GDNF, and deliver it to the brain.
"However, studies have shown that delivering neurotrophic factor to the brain not only promotes the survival of neurons
researchers delivered glial derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), a known therapeutic protein for treating Parkinson's disease, to the brains of mice.

astrocytes produce greater amounts of p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75ntr), a protein that helps cells detect growth factors.

Peptides called neurotrophins can encourage regeneration of the neurons in the auditory nerve. Housley used a common process, called electroporation,
they injected the cochlea with a neurotrophin gene vector. Once the implant was placed, they applied an electroporation voltage using the electrodes.
but they use a virus to deliver the neurotrophin gene. Robert Shepherd, director of the Bionics Institute, a nonprofit medical research center in Melbourne, Australia, says electrode-directed gene therapy could improve other kinds of neural interfaces. herever wee applying electrodes,
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor was added to the mix to help continue cellular differentiation. What the team discovered was that the initially formed cells generally stayed where they are while tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)- positive projections, that link up neural cells, formed within the gap between the separate chambers.
