Induction of functional dopamine neurons from human astrocytes in vitro and mouse astrocytes in a Parkinson's disease model

In vivo reprogramming of astrocytes to dopamine neurons improves motor behavior in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease. Cell replacement therapies for neurodegenerative disease have focused on transplantation of the cell types affected by the pathological process. Here we describe an alternati...
