Abstract:Dopaminergic neurons are the predominant brain cells affected in Parkinson’s disease. With the limited availability of live human brain dopaminergic neurons to study pathological mechanisms of Parkinson’s disease, dopaminergic neurons have been generated from human skin cell-derived induced pluripotent stem cells. Originally, induced pluripotent stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons were generated using small molecules. These neurons took more than two months to mature. However, transcription factor-mediated … Show more
