  4. 2. Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) modelling for the identification of mechanisms behind neurodevelopmental disorders

    Author : Loora Laan; Niklas Dahl; Jens Schuster; Joakim Klar; Anna Falk; Jared Sterneckert; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Induced pluripotent stem cells; Neurogenesis; Neural differentiation; Down syndrome; Dravet syndrome; Ataxia; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have opened new possibilities to recapitulate disease mechanisms and to model disorders in vitro. In the studies presented here, iPSCs were established to model neural differentiation in Down syndrome (DS), caused by trisomy for chromosome 21 (T21); Dravet syndrome (DRS), caused by variants in the SCN1A gene; and an ataxia syndrome, caused by a variant in the NFASC gene.
