Core Tip This letter builds on Jiang et al’s recent findings that voluntary exercise enhances the therapeutic impact of induced pluripotent stem cell transplantation in Parkinson’s disease by activating the Wnt1-Lmx1a pathway. We highlight exercise as a molecular modulator that fosters a neurogenic milieu, recommend examining additional developmental signals (sonic hedgehog, fibroblast growth factor 8, bone morphogenetic protein), and suggest biomaterial-based strategies to support graft survival and integration. We also stress the need to optimize exercise regimens in relation to transplantation, framing these insights within a translational strategy for advancing regenerative therapies in Parkinson’s disease.
