How the treatment works
Uses iPS cells: The treatment starts with iPS cells, which are adult cells that have been reprogrammed to become any type of cell in the body.
Creates dopamine-producing neurons: These iPS cells are then differentiated into dopamine-producing neurons, the type of brain cell that is lost in Parkinson’s disease.
Transplants the cells: The lab-grown neurons are transplanted into the patient’s brain, with clinical trials involving bilateral transplantation into the brains of seven patients.
Restores dopamine: The new cells have been shown to produce dopamine, a chemical essential for controlling movement.
