Advantages of nonhuman primates as preclinical models for evaluating stem cell-based therapies for Parkinson's disease

The derivation of dopaminergic neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells brings new hope for a patient-specific, stem cell-based replacement therapy to treat Parkinson's disease (PD) and related neurodegenerative diseases; and this novel cell-based approach has already proven effective in ani...
