Using Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells to Model Neurodegenerative Diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases are age-related chronic and progressive loss of neurons, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Huntington’s disease (HD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). 


Pluripotent Stem Cells

In clinical, patients suffered impaired memory and cognitive function, impaired motor coordination and irritability and aggression with neurodegenerative diseases. In the end, patients will gradually lose language and movement function. The burden of neurodegenerative diseases is heavy to patient’s families and the whole society. Although many basic and clinical studies have made a lot of efforts to ameliorate the clinical symptoms, it is still far from satisfaction to understand how the interaction of drugs and degenerative neurons.
