| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As a new treatment alternative to pharmaceutical therapy for Parkinson’s disease, we have been studying the development of cell transplantation therapy to compensate for the neurons lost by the disease. When the neurons were differentiated from embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cells, a factor, which is secreted from glial cells, was added to the differentiation medium that had been developed to date. In the result, the induced neurons were higher quality cells as ones in transplantation therapy than those induced in the previous method.
