______________ research has the potential to significantly impact the development of disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson's disease, and considerable progress has been made in creating dopamine-producing cells.
Answers
Stem cell research has the potential to significantly impact the development of disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson's disease, and considerable progress has been made in creating dopamine-producing cells from stem cells.

The development of new cell models of Parkinson's disease is a particularly promising area of stem cell research, as the current lack of progressive, predictive models of Parkinson's disease remains a major barrier to drug development. Cell models of Parkinson's disease generated from stem cells could help researchers screen drugs more efficiently than in currently available animal models, and study the underlying biological mechanisms associated with Parkinson's disease in cells taken from people living with the disease.
