The iPS cells from healthy donors have been developed into the precursors of dopamine-producing brain cells, which are no longer present in people with Parkinson’s disease. […]

Sounds good. But.... what if the healthy donor cells decide to quit producing dopamine once they are in your brain ?

Maybe the reason the your original brain cells quit producing dopamine is because of you, not the cells.

P.S. My reference to “you” and “your” was not meant to apply to you. It was to apply to a person with Parkinson’s disease, and that it could be their subconscious or body itself that decides to quit working properly.

The body seems to have a ‘mind’ of it’s own.

Most likely host issues cause the disease but now they can monitor effectiveness of treatment and changes in transplanted cells...cells...we’ll see
