Modeling Movement Disorders via Generation of hiPSC-Derived Motor Neurons

Masuma Akter et al.

Summary: This article discusses the generation of motor neurons (MNs) from hiPSCs and focuses on two approaches: induction by small molecules and induction by lentiviral delivery of transcription factors. The challenges in modeling neurological diseases using iPSC-derived neurons are identified, including obtaining high purity and yield of neurons, achieving full maturation in long-term culture, and culturing neurons more physiologically to maximize relevance to in vivo conditions.

Generation of gene-corrected isogenic control cell lines from a DYT1 dystonia patient iPSC line carrying a heterozygous GAG mutation in TOR1A gene

Masuma Akter et al.

Summary: Childhood-onset torsin dystonia (DYT1) is a rare hereditary movement disorder caused by GAG deletion in the TOR1A gene. This study generated isogenic control lines using hiPSC technology, providing a valuable resource for DYT1 research.
