Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) and multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs) offer great in vitro tools to study the process of neurodevelopment and neural cell specification [1-11]. With the discovery of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) [12], it is possible to model human neural system diseases in a dish. Recent studies have shown the progress on modeling neurodegenerative disorders using human iPSCs [13-18]. Here this editorial briefly summarizes and discusses the advances on modeling Parkinson’s disease (PD) using human iPSCs.
