Parkinson #39;s: Ask the Stem Cell Expert | Xianmin Zeng, Buck Institute
For more information about CIRM-funded stem cell research related to Parkinson #39;s research, see our fact sheet: http://www.cirm.ca.gov Dr. Xianmin Zeng, associate professor at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging answers your questions about Parkinson #39;s disease and stem cell research. Zeng has a CIRM research grant to develop a stem cell treatment for Parkinson #39;s disease. Parkinson #39;s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder, which leads to tremors, slowness in movement, impaired balance, and stiffness. There is no cure for Parkinson #39;s. And although drugs can help reduce symptoms, they eventually lose their effectiveness. Zeng has developed methods for transforming those stem cells into dopamine-producing nerve cells, the same cells that are lost in Parkinson #39;s disease. The hope is that by transplanting these cells into the brain, they will replace the lost cells and restore function in the brain.
