Parkinson's Disease  

Parkinsons disease, which affects a million people in the United States, often begins as a tremor in the hands or feet. Patients later develop trouble with walking and other daily activities as control over the body erodes. While some patients manage their symptoms, there is no cure for Parkinsons disease.

Stem cells offer hope to those with Parkinsons disease, which is caused by the loss of nerve cells in the brain. These nerve cells produce a neurotransmitter called dopamine. If stem cells can be cultivated to become these dopamine-producing nerve cells, researchers believe that they could replace the lost cells.

The treatment method is transplanting stem cells into the target sites of the brain that need dopamine. Because Parkinsons disease is caused by the failure of one type of cell to do its jobthe dopamine producing cells in the thalamusParkinsons is believed to be one of the most likely beneficiaries of stem cell treatment.
