ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE CELLULAR MODEL FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC DEVELOPMENT

摘要

Stem-cell derived human neuronal models that mimic human Alzheimer's disease, including hereditary and sporadic Alzheimer's disease, comprising neural stem cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells. Also provided arc purified human neurons developed from the neural stem cells that carry genomes from the Alzheimer's disease patients. The human neuronal models are neuronal models for hereditary and sporadic Alzheimer's disease, and are suitable for measurement of key behaviors of the Alzheimer's disease, providing further diagnostic tools for the development of sporadic Alzheimer's disease, and assisting in drug testing for the therapeutic treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
