Neurons from patient blood cells enable researchers to test treatments for genetic brain disease
Neurons from patient blood cells enable researchers to test treatments for genetic brain disease A team led by Brown University researchers reprogrammed patient blood cells into stem cells to test treatments for Christianson syndrome, finding that treatment responses varied according to the mutations present. In this image, human neurons are differentiated from stem cells from patients with Christianson Syndrome. These neurons from patients can be used to test treatments. PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — New research provides insights into the treatment of Christianson syndrome (CS...
