The neurotransmitter, dopamine. To try to put it simply, the clock will be turned back on the symptoms of Parkinson\u2019s disease by replacing the lost dopamine neurons. Once this cell therapy is successful, it will open the doors wide for other neurodegenerative conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Summit, having successfully addressed the symptoms of Parkinson\u2019s disease by launching Dr. Jeanne Loring\u2019s autologous dopamine neuron replacement therapy into the private business sector, now turns its focus on new targets. The organization now looks to finding the answers to the longstanding questions for Parkinson\u2019s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b><i>\u201cWhat is the CAUSE \u2026 ?\u201d and \u201cWhat is the CURE \u2026 ?\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>And a new question:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is Parkinson\u2019s disease a single disease?<\/li>\n<li>Or is Parkinson\u2019s disease a syndrome with several different types of Parkinson\u2019s disease?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Summit shares news and information on new &amp; innovative research that looks outside the box on these complex issues. Currently, we are very excited about the work being done at the University of Cincinnati for the CCBP (Cincinnati Cohort Biomarker Program) under the guidance of <span style=\"color: #064e7a;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitforstemcell.org\/alberto-espay-the-cincinnati-cohort-biomarker-program-the-ccbp\/\"><u><span style=\"color: #064e7a;\">Dr. Alberto Espay<\/span><\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>A few of the projects Summit monitors and provides information on are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aspen Neuroscience.
