Abstract:	Mon projet consiste en la création d'un grand nombre de neurones "surdopaminés" à partir de quelques neurones matures. Pour cela, j'ai utilisé le processus de dédifférenciation-redifférentiation exploitant les propriétés de la cellule souche. Cette approche innovatrice permettrait, lors de greffes, de diminuer les symptômes du Parkinson et de d'autres maladies neuro-dégénératives.
