Cell therapy for brain repair focusing on Parkinson’s disease
Proof of principle for cell replacement therapy in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease was first demonstrated in the clinic using human fetal tissue in the 1980s. Key limitations in this technology lie in the availability of donor material, graft survival and ensuring appropriate connectivity of the transplanted cells. Our research is focused on strategies to identify and select the ideal dopamine…
