Projet FNS Sinergia (CRSI33_12548/1); Pr Karl-Heinz Krause (Principal Applicant) : PROMETHEUS, Pluripotent Stem Cells for Therapy of Parkinson’s Disease - a multidisciplinary and translational consortium
Group 7 - The ethics of cell therapy in Parkinson's disease ; Pr Alex Mauron (Principal investigator). Aim: to analyze ethical issues concerning all aspects of the proposal (stem cell generation, animal experimentation and first patient studies).
Description: Parkinson's disease is a devastating neurodegenerative disease. The main symptoms of the patient are linked to mobility and the term "shaking palsy" is also used for the disease. Available treatment for Parkinson's disease are capable of improving symptoms for a limited period of time, but presently no cure is available. The cause of Parkinson's disease is the loss of a certain type of nerve cells in the brain, in particular the so-called "dopaminergic neurons. It is the long term aim of our project to implant dopaminergic neurons, generated from embryonic stem cells, into damaged brain areas of patients with Parkinson's disease. The PROMETHEUS consortium proposes to address key issues for a successful transfer of the concept into clinical studies. Seven different groups will work together synergistically.
