Abstract
In a pioneering study in New England Journal of Medicine, Schweitzer et al. (2020) report on a patient with Parkinson's disease who received a graft of dopamine neurons obtained from in vitro differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells, derived from the patient's own skin fibroblasts, showing the feasibility of autologous transplantation for dopamine cell replacement.
