Abstract excerpt
The generation of dopaminergic (DA) neurons via direct lineage reprogramming can potentially provide a novel therapeutic platform for the study and treatment of Parkinson's disease. Here, we showed that nanoscale biophysical stimulation can promote the direct lineage reprogramming of somatic fibroblasts to induced DA (iDA) neurons. Fibroblasts that were cultured on flat, microgrooved, and nanogrooved substrates...
