      <i_freetext>The cell suspension prepared for transplantation includes caudal ventral mesencephalic dopaminergic progenitor cells derived from human embryonic stem cells (DopaCell) with a concentration of 100,000 cells per microliter, which will be prepared under GMP conditions and with clinical quality. The cell suspension will be injected into the striatum of both hemispheres of the patient during one stereotactic surgery. In each hemisphere, three routes inside the striatum (in the putamen and in front, at, and behind the anterior commissure) will be chosen for the injection of cell suspension, and the total volume of injection for each hemisphere will be 50 microliters. The cell suspension will be injected at a rate of one microliter per minute. To perform this surgery, the usual instrument used to move the microelectrodes in DBS will be used. The injection routes will be determined for each patient using imaging and routing software used in DBS surgery..</i_freetext>

    <criteria>
      <inclusion_criteria>Definitive diagnosis of PD based on MDS Clinical Diagnostic Criteria for Parkinson's Disease (2015)
The duration of the disease must be at least 5 years from the time of diagnosis
Patients should have ON- and OFF-period and have Hoehn Yahr stage≥III during OFF-period and Hoehn Yahr stage&lt;III during ON-period.
Patients should only receive drug treatment at the time of study entry
The patient does not have levodopa-induced dyskinesia
The patient must have at least 30% response to levodopa therapeutic dose (based on UPDRS part III).
The function of different organs based on laboratory evaluations, within 7 days of entering the study, should include: (1) neutrophil count ≥2000/μl (2) platelet count ≥100,000/μl (3) AST/ALT ≤3 times the maximum normal value at the intervention site (4) total bilirubin value ≤ 1.5 times the maximum normal value at the intervention site (5) eGFR level: greater than or equal to 60 ml/min/1.73 square meters.
Before entering the study, the patient must submit a written consent form to participate in the research. (If the patient is unable to write due to illness, the patient's legal guardian must complete the written consent form, or if the legal guardian is not present, the patient must verbally inform the researcher of consent to enter the study.)</inclusion_criteria>
