Researchers around the world have been working to coax stem cells to differentiate into dopaminergic neurons, to replace those lost in patients living with Parkinson's disease.

In the BlueRock trial, an unnamed patient has now been administered the first dose of pluripotent stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons – MSK-DA01 – via a surgical transplant procedure into ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the abnormal aggregation of ...

A new Drosophila collection of Parkinsonism models reveals early synaptic cholinergic projection neuron dysfunction, linking synaptic failure to later dopaminergic decline, highlighting a role for ...

In a primate study, CDNF demonstrated restorative effects on damaged dopaminergic neurons, with improvements observed in motor function, as well as non-motor PD symptoms, including anxiety and ...
