Today, a range of cutting-edge technologies—like gene therapies, neuroprotective strategies, and targeted drug delivery systems—are offering new hope for Parkinson’s disease, with stem cell therapy standing out as one of the most promising approaches.
Current clinical trials are yielding positive results, with many patients experiencing significant improvements in motor function and quality of life.
While it doesn’t reverse the disease, stem cell therapy can help repair damaged neurons, providing meaningful relief.
The progress in stem cell therapy and other treatments is encouraging, the potential for significant improvements—and possibly even a fix for Parkinson’s in the future—remains strong.
So, yes, we will fix it!
hPSC-derived DA neurons trial, 2024: “This data has shown that developing dopamine cells when transplanted in the brain of a PwP (Person with Parkinson's) can survive long term with clinical benefits lasting decades and with restoration of normal dopaminergic innervation in the grafted striatum.” – National Library of Medicine – (Download PDF here if link is broken)
