The ReNCell VM immortalized human neural progenitor cell line-opportunely differentiated to assume a DAergic neuronal phenotype-was chosen as model of target cell, for evaluating the potential neuroprotective effects of SHED-derived EVs. To reproduce the parkinsonian/oxidative environment, the neurons were treated with the neurotoxin 6-OHDA [234] . The deriving M2 GDNF-producing macrophages were intravenously injected in the 6-OHDA PD mouse model, where they were able to cross exclusively the BBB of inflamed brains, inducing both neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects with consequent motor function improvements. ./cache/cord-256686-fwh926g4.txt ./txt/cord-256686-fwh926g4.txt
