Modeling Alzheimer's disease using iPSCs

"Working with a group from Nagasaki University, a research group at the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA) has successfully modeled Alzheimer's disease (AD) using both familial and sporadic patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and revealed stress phenotypes and differential drug responsiveness associated with intracellular amyloid β oligomers in AD neurons and astrocytes."
