Abstract

A formulation is described for systemic delivery and controlled release of a trophic factor. The formulation comprises a glycolipid carrier component which delivers trophic factor, such as nerve growth factor, to a target organ. The glycolipid carrier protects the trophic factor from degradation by enzymes typically endogenous to the human body.
