Astrocytes are potentially more important than once thought in modulating PD progression, but this paper doesn't do much to illustrate how it could be done realistically. Pretty theoretical when it comes down to actually using stem cells.

Nevertheless, an interesting presentation for those who see astrocytes as an avenue for future stem cell therapy.
