Human embryonic stem cells-derived dopaminergic neurons transplanted in parkinsonian monkeys recover dopamine levels and motor behavior
2020-07-11
Abstract excerpt
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) differentiate into specialized cells, including midbrain dopaminergic neurons (DAN). Non-human primates (NHPs) injected with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine develop some alterations observed in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. We obtained DAN from hESCs and confirmed that they express dopaminergic markers, generate action potentials, and release dopamine (DA) in v...
