Embryonic Stems Cells and Parkinson's Disease

A animal model (Mouse) with the Parkinson's disease was used in experiment, that used the Dopamine neurons taken from the Embryonic Stem Cells. Parkinson's disease is becoming common, it is a condition caused by the loss of the neurons in the brain that synthesize the neurotransmitter dopamine. The Cells taken from the embryonic stem cells can regenerate these dopamine neurons. Due to the controversy there must more research conducted to show that these cells can assist in treating the disease.

Stem Cell Research

Stem cells is used to provide replacement cells for disabling diseases such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, and diabetes. But this topic has ethical controversy with the public and biologists that are conducting this scientific research. The research has a long way to go, and more experiments have to be conducted before cures can be delivered.
