Recent progress shows that neurons suitable for transplantation can be generated from
stem cells in culture, and that the adult brain produces new neurons from its own stem cells …

Human neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease,
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke, and …

Dopaminergic neurons located in the ventral mesodiencephalon are essential for the control
of voluntary movement and the regulation of emotion, and are severely affected in …

Human neurodegenrative diseases such as P arkinson's disease (PD), H untington's
disease (HD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and A lzheimer's disease (AD) are caused …

Adult mammalian neural stem cells are unique because of their properties, such as
differentiation capacity, self-renewal, quiescence, and also because they exist in specific …

Human embryonic stem (hES) cells, due to their capacity of multipotency and self‐renewal,
may serve as a valuable experimental tool for human developmental biology and may …

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) represent a promising source of midbrain dopaminergic (DA)
neurons for applications in Parkinson disease. However, ESC-based transplantation …

The study tested the hypothesis that transplantation of embryonic stem (ES) cells into rat
cortex after a severe focal ischemia would promote structural repair and functional recovery …

Exposure to pesticides has been suggested to increase the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD),
but the mechanisms responsible for this association are not clear. Here, we report that …

Recent findings have uncovered a role for the Bcl-x gene in the survival of dopaminergic
neurons. The exact nature of this role has been difficult to examine because of the …
