It seem to create new dopaminergic neurons.

Furthermore, EPO is remarkably effective in protecting
and developing dopaminergic neurons and in protecting dopaminergic neuron loss
in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease

email the lead researcher and ask him/her why not. maybe a subsequent experiment didn't work. you'd think whomever mfg's epo would be very interested but since epo sure doesn't enhance red blood cell production unless administered frequently, is very expensive, has side affects and could possibly cause brain damage in too high a dose .....

question is, does epo get to the human brain, does it pass the bbb?
should be easy to create human neurons from stem cells and test in vitro if neuroprotective. but i'm sure if you google mice/neuroprotective you'll find hundreds of compounds that are experimentally neuroprotective.

that sure, it induce the differentiation of stem cells with very little dose, if there is a way to increase or give stem cell..
