Core Tip This letter to the editor discusses the recent study by Jiang et al on induced pluripotent stem cells and exercise for Parkinson’s disease. Treatment with induced pluripotent stem cells provides a promising option for Parkinson’s disease patients by replacing lost dopaminergic neurons, while exercise alone has been shown to improve outcomes in these patients. A combination of these therapies has shown a potentially synergistic effect by activating the Wnt1-Lmx1a loop in a mouse model.
