Researchers from Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU)
have invented a nanostructure that can stimulate neural stem cells
to differentiate into nerve cells. They found that the
transplantation of these nerve cells into rats with Parkinson’s
disease progressively improved their symptoms, with the new cells
replacing damaged nerve cells around the transplantation site. This
novel invention provides promising insights into stem cell
therapies and offers hope of a new treatment for Parkinson’s
disease.
