World Parkinson's Day 2025: Looking Back at Progress for Cell and Gene Therapy

In observance of World Parkinson's Day, held annually on April 11, we took a look back at the past year's news in cell and gene therapy for PD.

According to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, almost 1 million people in United States live with Parkinson disease (PD) and more than 6 million people in the world live with PD. Notably, the symptoms of PD and their severity vary widely, and can be different for every person. Although some treatment options for the disease exist, there is currently no cure and great unmet need remains for the patient community.
