iPSC-derived Alzheimer's disease models show increased secretion of pathogenic amyloid beta peptides in glutamatergic neurons and responses to amyloid beta 42 in microglia

-
ioGlutamatergic Neurons carrying PSEN1 M146L, APP V717I or KM670/671NL mutations were characterised as Alzheimer鈥檚 disease models and compared to their wild type, genetically matched control. The disease model cells were shown to recapitulate the changes in A尾 ratios observed in Alzheimer鈥檚 disease patients.
-
ioMicroglia and APOE genetic risk models demonstrate the key functional phenotypes of phagocytosis and cytokine response.
-
This panel of wild type and Alzheimer鈥檚 disease model cells can be co-cultured in multiple combinations, enabling the modelling of complex cellular interactions in Alzheimer鈥檚 disease.
