Transplantation of adrenal medullary tissue to striatum in parkinsonism. First clinical trials

E O Backlund et al. J Neurosurg. 1985 Feb.

Abstract

Autologous adrenal medullary tissue was transplanted to the striatum in two patients with severe parkinsonism. The aim was to provide the striatum with a new cellular source of catecholamines. Some rewarding effects were registered. This is the first time that such tissue has been transplanted in the human brain. The results merit further clinical trials.
