International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO) Scientists to Attend Gene and Cell Therapy Meeting in Philadelphia and Present Pre-Clinical Research Results
International Stem Cell Corp. this morning announced that several of its leading scientists will be presenting experimental results from three of ISCO’s pre-clinical therapeutic programs at the 15th Annual Meeting of American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy, in Philadelphia at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 17th. Firstly, the application of A9 dopaminergic neurons derived from human parthenogenetic stem cells (hpSC) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Demonstrating functional dopaminergic neurons in vivo represents an important milestone towards the goal of creating well characterized populations of cells that could be used to develop a treatment for Parkinson’s. Secondly, the differentiation…
