Grant Activity:
Advancing stem cell therapy for brain repair
Purpose:
Clinical trials have shown that transplanting new nerve cells into the brain of Parkinson’s disease patients can improve symptoms. Trials use fetal tissue for implantation, which is unsustainable and highly variable. This proposal will examine the potential of human pluripotent stem cells as an alternative to repair a variety of brain injuries. Key objectives will be to control these cells before and after transplantation, ensuring safety and maximal efficiency.
