Decoding Parkinson's disease - iPSC-derived models in the OMICs era.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain. In recent years, researchers have started studying PD using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models of the disease. Surprisingly, few studies have combined iPSC-technology with the so-called powerful 'omics' approaches.
