Finding ways to improve cell replacement therapy for Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that affects dopamine signaling neurons in patients' brains. Cell-replacement therapy shows some promise as a treatment for Parkinson's. A recent paper in the journal Molecular & Cellular Proteomics reports a technical advance in selecting cells to use in this therapy.

New Rekovelle analysis shows AMH is robust predictor of ovarian response to fertility treatment

Ferring Pharmaceuticals announced today a new analysis of data from the Phase 3 ESTHER-1 trial showing that natural variations in anti-Müllerian hormone levels during and between a woman's menstrual cycle have no clinically relevant impact on ovarian response when using AMH to dose Rekovelle for ovarian stimulation.
