The license for GDNF is, according to what I've read, held by Medgensis (Andy Grove's group) and they may or may not want to share as they are developing their own delivery system.

It's like developing a car that will run but you still have to have the gas to put in it. What are the plans to get past that issue?
Lurking,

It is my understanding that Prof Gill DOES have permission to use GDNF in human clinical trials LATER THIS YEAR as soon as his delivery method is tested. That's why this is so urgent.

I'm going to set up a YOUTUBE site where pwp can post videos about why they support GDNF. (stay tuned for that info) I'm hoping we can convey this urgency so this research is funded quickly.

Jean
