Article Title: Human trials of stem cell-derived dopamine neurons for Parkinson's disease: Dawn of a new era
Abstract: Stem cell-based therapies for Parkinson's disease are moving into a new and exciting era, with several groups pursuing clinical trials with pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-derived dopamine neurons. As many groups have ongoing or completed GMP-level cell manufacturing, we highlight key clinical translation considerations from our recent fourth GForce-PD meeting.
