Advancing Parkinson’s disease treatment: cell replacement therapy with neurons derived from pluripotent stem cells
21 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
The motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) are caused by the progressive loss of dopamine neurons from the substantia nigra. There are currently no treatments that can slow or reverse the neurodegeneration. To restore the lost neurons, international groups have initiated clinical trials using human embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) to derive dopamine neuron precursors that are used as...
