Grafted human iPSC-derived mDA neurons improve the motor functions of PD-model mice. The number of apomorphine-induced rotations (left) and the ratio to that of before the operation (right). (A) mDA progenitor transplantation: n = 18, sham: n = 18, mean ± SEM. The p-values were comparisons with the sham group at the same time-point using Student’s t-test. (B) Graph of results with separate the graft cells from primary neurospheres (n = 11) and secondary neurospheres (n = 7). The p-values were comparisons with the sham group at the same time-point using Steel’s multiple comparison test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. iPSCs induced pluripotent stem cells; PD, Parkinson’s disease; mDA, midbrain dopaminergic.
