doi.org/10.1016/j.scr.2021.102634Get rights and content Abstract The features of 16p11.2 deletion phenotype is developmental delay, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum disorder. Seizures are observed in approximately 20% of individuals with the microdeletion. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were generated from erythroblasts obtained from a child diagnosed with benign familial infantile epilepsy,…

The development of physiologically relevant human models for neurological diseases remains a challenge for pre-clinical drug discovery. With the emergence of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology, it is now possible to design and manufacture cell types that are critical players in neural disease pathogenesis, such as neurons, astrocytes…

This article was originally published here Alzheimers Dement. 2021 Dec;17 Suppl 2:e058308. doi: 10.1002/alz.058308. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Mutations in microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) gene are causative of Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). Many of the features associated with the development of tau pathology, e.g high levels of tau phosphorylation, are also present in…

doi.org/10.1016/j.molmed.2021.11.005Get rights and content Highlights Voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels are key drivers of pain in humans and contribute to neuronal excitability and have been regarded as opportune therapeutic targets. The limited success of developing pain therapies targeting NaV channels may reflect the limitations of preclinical screening systems, as heterologous cell…

Two research projects focused on developing gene-editing therapies for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (CMT2) — both launched with seed monies from the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association-Strategy to Accelerate Research (CMTA-STAR) program — have now been awarded additional funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). According to a CMTA press release, these NIH…

Abstract Background: Astrocytes play important roles in the function and survival of neuronal cells. Dysfunctions of astrocytes are associated with numerous disorders and diseases of the nervous system, including motor neuron diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based approaches are becoming increasingly important for…

In 2006, Kazutoshi Takahashi and Shinya Yamanaka made a revolutionary breakthrough when they reprogrammed terminally differentiated, lineage-restricted adult somatic cells into a pluripotent state via the expression of transcription factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc.1 Now, researchers can differentiate reprogrammed induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into any cell type and…

A team of scientists at Koc University in Turkey has created three new cell models of Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) derived from patients with repeat expansions in their FXN gene. The models “will facilitate studies to understand molecular mechanisms related to FRDA [Friedreich’s ataxia] pathology [disease processes] as well as therapeutic investigations…

Abstract With the wide adoption of genomic sequencing in children having seizures, an increasing number of SCN2A genetic variants have been revealed as genetic causes of epilepsy. Voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.2, encoded by gene SCN2A, is predominantly expressed in the pyramidal excitatory neurons and supports action potential (AP) firing. One…
