Potential of combination therapy involving stem cells and brain-derived neurotrophic factor to treat neurodegeneration.

Caption

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition, affecting the elderly population. As conventional treatment approaches fail to show effectivity in a long-run, researchers are now exploring novel strategies, including combination therapies. In this review, the researchers explored the potential of combining stem cell therapy with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) enhancement as a synergistic approach to manage PD
