Deskripsi

What happens to cells on engrafting into the brain in animal models to treat Parkinson’s disease is unclear. Here, the authors use scRNA-seq to examine ventral midbrain (VM)-patterned human embryonic stem cells after functional maturation in a pre-clinical rat model for Parkinson’s disease and identify perivascular-like cells.
