4. Cell-based therapy for Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease is caused by the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, which are crucial for regulating movement. Traditional treatments, like levodopa and deep brain stimulation, alleviate symptoms but do not address the underlying neuronal loss. Cell-based therapy aims to replace the lost neurons with healthy, functioning dopaminergic cells derived from stem cells.
