  • DOPAMINERGIC PRECURSOR CELLS AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20240219375
    Abstract: Midbrain dopaminergic neuronal precursor cells that can be used to treat a brain disorder are provided herein. Improved mono-SMAD methods are provided that can be used to differentiate pluripotent cells into midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons or midbrain neuronal precursors. In some aspects, methods are provided for mono-SMAD culture protocols and culture durations that can be used to generate dopaminergic neuronal precursor cells that have significantly improved properties for the treatment of a brain disorder such as, e.g., Parkinson's disease. Methods of treating Parkinson's disease and other brain diseases with the midbrain dopaminergic neuronal precursor cells are also provided.

  • Production of midbrain dopaminergic neurons and methods for the use thereof
    Patent number: 10828335
    Abstract: Methods are provided for efficient production of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons. In some aspects, methods involve differentiation and selection of DA neurons for a transgenic pluripotent cell population (e.g., cells comprising a selectable marker gene). Cell populations produced by the instant methods and methods of their use are likewise provided.
