1st transplant done in trial of Parkinson’s cell therapy ANPD001
This experimental therapy for Parkinson’s uses a type of stem cell called an induced pluripotent stem cell, or iPSC, which is able to generate nearly any type of cell in the body — including dopamine-producing neurons. Its manufacturing is a three-step process. https://parkinsonsnewstoday.com/news

L-Theanine (not to be confused with Theanine B1)
Does anybody have any experience of supplementing with L-Theanine, (or drinking Green Tea, which contains L-Theanine) to help with sleep or any symptoms of Parkinsons? This video piqued by interest as it indicates that L-Theanine reduces the excitatory signals of Glutamate in the brain. https://www.youtube.com

Urolithin A (UA) – To anybody taking, what’s your experience?
Sometimes, I feel gullible for the fleeing by an over-priced, over-hyped supplement. As I understand, UA is produced by bacteria in your gut and without the right bacteria, your gut can’t produce from food. And, maybe the product is more concentrated than what’s produced by bacteria. AI Says: “Urolithin
