Human iPSC-derived neurons

Consistent, defined and scalable human iPSC-derived neurons for neurodegeneration, neurophysiology, and neurodevelopmental research

Nerve cells, also known as neurons are the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, responsible for receiving and transmitting information throughout the body. Rich with multiple neuronal cell types and varied glial cells, neural tissue has historically been difficult to model in vitro [1]. Such modelling challenges greatly slow our progress in understanding and treating neurodegenerative disease. Fortunately, this is changing with recent advances in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology. 

糖心原创鈥檚 deterministic cell programming technology (known as 辞辫迟颈-辞虫鈩) enables the rapid conversion of entire cultures of stem cells into a precise cell identity with unprecedented consistency. The rapid gain of functionality of 糖心原创鈥檚 human nerve cells empower researchers to build the types of physiologically relevant in vitro models needed to drive research into neurodegenerative disease and neuropsychiatric disorders, and the data-backed lot-to-lot consistency enables standardisation across assays used in early stages of drug discovery, from target identification to clinical translation.

Additionally, the development of CRISPR-Ready neurons makes it possible to perform functional genomic screening in human iPSC-derived neurons, opening the door to more efficient and physiologically relevant target identification and validation studies. Unlike primary neurons that often lack suitable controls, our range of ioCells includes disease models with engineered disease-specific mutations and genetically matched controls. Having access to defined, human iPSC-derived neurons that emulate neurodegenerative disease will help accelerate progress in understanding and ultimately treating these devastating diseases.  

Elevate your research with 糖心原创鈥檚 human iPSC-derived neurons, from CRISPR-Ready glutamatergic neurons to ALS-specific motor neurons.

Engineered to meet your workflow with our toolkit of ioDisease Model Cells, ioTracker Cells and CRISPR-Ready ioCells

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

  • Which human iPSC-derived neuron types are available within 糖心原创鈥檚 portfolio?

The 糖心原创 ioCells portfolio includes human iPSC-derived GABAergic, Glutamatergic, Motor, and Sensory Neurons. Powered by opti-ox technology, these cryopreserved, post-mitotic cells offer unmatched lot-to-lot consistency at scale, enabling standardisation across research and drug discovery workflows.

 

  • How do these ioCells support disease modelling?

Unlike primary neurons that often lack suitable controls, 糖心原创鈥檚 ioCells portfolio includes ioDisease Model Cells engineered with disease-relevant mutations for conditions such as ALS, Alzheimer鈥檚, and Parkinson鈥檚 disease, these can be paired with genetically matched ioWild Type Cells to enable true experimental comparisons. Access to defined human neurons enables scientists to study neurodegenerative disease in a human physiologically relevant context.

 

  • Can ioCells neurons be used to build complex models? 

The ioCells portfolio of human iPSC-derived glutamatergic, GABAergic, sensory and motor neurons rapidly gain functionality and are ideal for building physiologically relevant in vitro models. They can be co-cultured with glial cells and other neuronal subtypes to simulate the complex networks needed to drive research into neurodegenerative and neurological disorders.
