An Autologous Stem Cell-Based Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease

by

Cell therapies hold great promise to treat Parkinson’s disease, but there’s an ongoing debate over how to best do this. One group—and I am firmly in this camp—maintains an autologous therapy, derived from a patient’s own cells, is the correct path. Others believe an allogeneic approach, using donor cells, would be more cost-effective.
