Generating dopamine via cell therapy for Parkinson's disease

Posted on by

Public release date: 2-Jul-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Sarah Jackson press_releases@the-jci.org Journal of Clinical Investigation In Parkinson’s disease, the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the midbrain causes well-characterized motor symptoms. Though embryonic stem cells could potentially be used to replace dopaminergic (DA) neurons in Parkinson’s disease patients, such cell therapy options must still overcome technical obstacles before the approach is ready for the clinic. Embryonic stem cell-based transplantation regimens carry a risk of introducing inappropriate cells or even cancer-prone cells Continue reading →
