  • Publication number: 20250017979
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for improving in vivo survival of midbrain dopamine (mDA) neurons (e.g., in vitro differentiated mDA neurons) by suppressing p53-mediated apoptosis of mDA neurons. The present disclosure further provides methods for treating a subject (e.g., a subject suffering from neurodegeneration of midbrain dopamine neurons, and/or a neurodegenerative disease), comprising administering to the subject one or more mDAs, wherein p53-mediated apoptosis of the one or more mDA neurons is suppressed.
    Type: Application
