Author(s): Teresia Osborn, Penelope J. Hallett
Transplantation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons is a promising approach to treating Parkinson's disease. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Kee et al. (2017) and Kirkeby et al. (2017) identify specific markers of midbrain dopaminergic progenitors to improve their derivation and predict dopamine neuron content after engraftment.
