Prospect of cell therapy for Parkinson's disease
نویسنده
چکیده
The hallmark of Parkinson's disease is on-going degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, which may be due to various etiologies. Various approaches to alleviate symptoms are available, such as life-long pharmacological intervention, deep brain stimulation, and transplantation of dopaminergic neuron-containing fetal tissue. However, each of these approaches has a disadvantage. Several studies have shown that various kinds of stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and other cells can differentiate into dopaminergic neurons and may be promising for treating Parkinson's disease in the future. Therefore, this review addresses those cells in terms of their prospects in cell therapy for Parkinson's disease. In addition, the need for safety and efficacy studies, various cell delivery modes and sites, and possible side effects will be discussed.

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the ability to divide and differentiate into distinct cell types. The source of these cells is from embryos and adults, that each cell has its own specific characteristics. For nearly decades, experimental studies have been conducted to use these types of cells to treat various diseases. Parkinson's disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative d...

Introduction: Transplantation of embryonic ventral mesencephalic (VM) dopamine neurons into the striatum is a currently explored therapeutic strategy for treatment of patients with patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, this strategy has been limited with poor cell survival, generally ranging from 5-20%. In this study, we investigated the effect of potassium channel blocker of tetr...

Purpose: Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disease produced by the death of dopaminergic neurons, and the response to current treatments is varied. It is important to develop a model for the evaluation of ES cells as an alternative model for treatment. Materials and Methods: The model for PD was developed in rats. First, ES cells were transplanted into experimental models in three groups: ...

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive neuronal dysfunction. Growing evidence has shown that oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Correspondingly, the current study evaluated the protective effect of topiramate in 6-hydroxydopamine induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in PC12 cells...
