The GDNF is derived from the glia which is the supporting tissue of the nervous system and neurotropic factors are localized in the nerve tissue. GDNF’s would repair the motor deficits found in patients with Parkinson’s Disease, protect the part of the brain responsible for releasing dopamine and give long-lasting repair of the dopamine secreting cells in the brain. Encapsulated beta cells and GDNF’s are not the only curing factors related to stem cell research and the idea of encapsulated cell therapy. Encapsulated cell therapy also holds the potential cure for several forms of cancer, some types of lung disease and possibly heart disease. Encapsulated cells avoid the donor-host rejection and can renew themselves and replace the infected
