Bioengineered models of Parkinson’s disease using patient-derived dopaminergic neurons exhibit distinct biological profiles in a 3D microenvironment
Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro culture systems using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are useful tools to model neurodegenerative disease biology in physiologically relevant microenvironments. Th...

Dopamine neurons derived from human ES cells efficiently engraft in animal models of Parkinson’s disease
A new strategy for derivation of human midbrain dopamine neurons from pluripotent cells was developed; transplantation of the neurons in mice, rats and parkinsonian monkeys show they are a promising source of ...

Modelling pathogenesis and treatment of familial dysautonomia using patient-specific iPSCs
Familial dysautonomia is a rare and fatal peripheral neuropathy caused by a mutation in the gene IKBKAP that encodes a protein involved in transcriptional elongation. Lee et al. report the derivation of patient-s...
