Adhesion molecules as potential targets for neuroprotection in a rodent model of Parkinson's disease
Cell adhesion molecules might play an important role in the inflammatory mechanisms associated with neurodegeneration. We have previously observed, in rats, that subcutaneous injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), a pro-inflammatory agent that ...
