HUMAN NEURAL PROGENITOR DERIVED DOPAMINERGIC PROGENITORS AND NEURONS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for producing mature dopaminergic neurons from human neural progenitor cells and/or from dopaminergic progenitor cells. The invention provides these cells from human embryonic stem cell (hESC) derived human neural progenitor (hNP) cells or from dopaminergic progenitor cells as otherwise described herein, A dopaminergic progenitor cell, which can lead to the differentiation/production of mature dopaminergic in high yield, is an additional aspect of the present invention.
