Stem Derived Dopamine Neurons : Will They Replace DBS as the Leading Neurosurgical Treatment for Parkinson's Disease?

• The use of stem cell derived dopamine neurons for treating patients with Parkinson's disease has now evolved to the first in human clinical trials. In this debate, we argue that assuming these trials give positive outcomes that this therapy will supercede DBS as the neurosurgical treatment of choice for PD patients in the future given it is a one-off therapy that repairs a critical pathway in the parkinsonian brain.
