Scientists create precision genetics model of Parkinson’s Disease in a dish.

A team of scientists led by The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute successfully created a human stem cell disease model of Parkinson’s disease in a dish. Studying a pair of identical (monozygotic) twins, one affected and one unaffected with Parkinson’s disease, another unrelated Parkinson’s patient, and four healthy control subjects, the scientists were able to observe key features of the disease in … Continue reading Scientists create precision genetics model of Parkinson’s Disease in a dish.
