Human Dopaminergic Neurons primarily isolated from midbrain precursors, particularly the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and ventral tegmental area (VTA), during development. These neurons exhibit a characteristic morphology with small, round or oval somata, long and highly branched axons, and extensive dendritic arbors. Dopaminergic neurons synthesize and release dopamine, modulating motor control, reward processing, cognition, and emotion via D1- and D2-type receptor signaling. Their tonic and phasic firing patterns regulate nigrostriatal (movement) and mesocorticolimbic (motivation) pathways. Dysfunction or degeneration of SNc dopaminergic neurons underlies Parkinson’s disease (PD), characterized by Lewy body accumulation and motor deficits. Mesolimbic dopamine hyperactivity is implicated in schizophrenia and addiction.

Human Dopaminergic Neurons can be used to study the development, electrophysiological characteristics and neural circuit regulation mechanisms of the dopamine system, especially the neural basis of motor control, reward behavior and cognitive function. These cells can also be used for neurotoxicity assessment, such as the effects of environmental toxins (MPTP, 6-OHDA) or gene mutations on neuronal survival.
Human dopaminergic neurons are neurons that produce and release dopamine, a neurotransmitter crucial for motor control, reward, and motivation. They play a key role in the central nervous system.
They are typically derived from stem cells, such as iPSCs or embryonic stem cells, through differentiation protocols. They are cultured in specialized media that support their growth and functionality
They are used to study neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s, for drug screening, and to understand dopamine-related disorders. Additionally, they assist in developing and testing new therapies.
Key characteristics include the expression of markers like TH (tyrosine hydroxylase), DAT (dopamine transporter), and their ability to produce and release dopamine
Challenges include maintaining cell viability and dopaminergic properties, preventing contamination, and replicating the complex in vivo environment of the brain in vitro.
