Differentiation of adult human retinal pigment epithelial cells into dopaminergic-like cells in vitro and in the recipient monkey brain
Abstract Background Cell therapy is proposed to be a potential treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Although fetal retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells have been tested in trials for treating PD patients, controversy has been raised over the issue of whether such cells can be reprogrammed into...
