New Treatment for Rare Neurodegenerative Disease
To advance disease-in-a-dish modeling of a rare genetic disorder, researchers have now used induced pluripotent stem cells. Their discovery shows the positive effects of drugs that may lead to effective new treatments for the neurodegenerative disease. iPSC are made from patient skin cells rather than from embryos and can become any type of cells, including brain cells, in the laboratory.
