URL description:
Parkinson's disease affects almost one in one thousand adults. The disease is caused by a still unknown mechanism that destroys the neurons (brain cells) that produce dopamine in the brain. Although symptoms caused by the disease can be alleviated by intake of dopamine, the destruction of the brain cell continues, leading to further deterioration of the symptoms despite drug therapy. Stem cell therapy, in which new young cells that can generate brain cells that produce dopamine, are introduced in the brain
