Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title><p>Background: Degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) in Parkinson's disease (PD) is responsible for motor and cognitive impairment. Replacing the dopaminergic cell population in the SNpc to restore normal dopamine levels is a potential therapeutic approach. However, improving neuronal integration still requires a reliable cell source for transplant...
