CERE-120 for Parkinson’s Disease – Video

CERE-120 is an experimental drug currently in clinical trials. It employs a vector to transfer the gene that makes neurturin directly into brain cells most affected by Parkinson's disease. Neurturin is a neurotrophic factor shown in laboratory experiments to restore damaged dopamine cells and protect them from further degeneration.
