New small molecules that regulate the step-wise differentiation of human pluripotent stem
cells into dopaminergic neurons have been identified. The steroid, guggulsterone, was
found to be the most effective inducer of neural stem cells into dopaminergic neurons. These
neurons are extensively characterized and shown to be functional. We believe this new
approach offers a practical route to creating neurons of sufficient quality to be used to treat
Parkinson's disease patients.
