Scientific Reports Publishes International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO) Technology for Deriving Neuronal Cell
International Stem Cell Corp., a biotechnology company focused on the therapeutic applications of human parthenogenetic stem cells (hpSC), this morning told investors that its breakthrough method of deriving neuronal cells for the treatment of Parkinson's disease has been published in Scientific Reports, a primary research publication from the publishers of Nature Publishing Group. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder caused by a progressive loss of dopamine-producing neurons resulting in gradual dysfunction of the motor system. Pharmacological treatments are useful in the relatively early stage of the disease, but the continuous use of pro-dopaminergic medication eventually becomes ineffective and…
