human embryonic stem cell-derived midbrain dopamine neuron cells MSK-DA01
Definition
A preparation of midbrain dopamine neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells that could potentially be used for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Upon administration and transplantation of the human embryonic stem cell-derived midbrain dopamine neuron cells MSK-DA01 into the putamen, these nerve cells may replenish the dopaminergic cells that are lost in PD patients and produce dopamine, thereby alleviating PD symptoms.
