The STEM PD clinical trial, a stem cell–based approach for Parkinson’s disease, is entering a new phase in its development. In May 2026, Cellular Intelligence, an AI native biotech company, announced that it has acquired global rights from the Danish pharmaceutical company, Novo Nordisk, to further advance the clinical development of the STEM PD programme. STEM‑PD is among a small number of plurip
When research findings are ready to make the leap from the lab to the patient, the requirements become much stricter. That is precisely where many promising projects start to falter. “We want to be the bridge between research and the patient, so that promising projects don’t get stuck in that difficult transition,” says Sara Nolbrant, director of the new pre-GMP facility. And with that, she disapp

A landmark study led from Lund, has shown that transplanting stem-cell derived dopamine progenitor cells into the brain is feasible. Eight patients were transplanted in the first clinical trial, and no serious side effects linked to the transplanted cells were seen during the first year of follow up. The results are published in Nature Medicine. In Parkinson’s disease, patients lose nerve cells in
