Preferred Label : Human Embryonic Stem Cell-derived Midbrain Dopamine Neuron Cells MSK-DA01;
NCIt synonyms : Human Embryonic Stem Cell-derived Midbrain Dopamine Progenitor Cells MSK-DA01;
NCIt definition : A preparation of midbrain dopamine neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells
that could potentially be used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). Upon
administration and transplantation of the human embryonic stem cell-derived midbrain
dopamine neuron cells MSK-DA01 into the putamen, these nerve cells may replenish the
dopaminergic cells that are lost in PD patients and produce dopamine, thereby alleviating
PD symptoms.;
