Gene and Cell-based Therapies in Parkinson's

Wellness Wednesday

While still in the developmental stage, genetic and cell-based therapies hold some promise for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). This webinar will review the basics of gene and cell-based therapies.  We will discuss what these therapies may or may not accomplish for the person with Parkinson’s as well as what to expect in terms of the treatment process.
