Human iPSC-derived neurons

Consistent, defined and scalable human iPSC-derived neurons for neurodegeneration, neurophysiology, and neurodevelopmental research

Nerve cells, also known as neurons are the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, responsible for receiving and transmitting information throughout the body. Rich with multiple neuronal cell types and varied glial cells, neural tissue has historically been difficult to model in vitro [1]. Such modelling challenges greatly slow our progress in understanding and treating neurodegenerative disease. Fortunately, this is changing with recent advances in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology. 

²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù’s deterministic cell programming technology (known as ´Ç±è³Ù¾±-´Ç³æâ„¢) enables the rapid conversion of entire cultures of stem cells into a precise cell identity with unprecedented consistency. The rapid gain of functionality of ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù’s human nerve cells empower researchers to build the types of physiologically relevant in vitro models needed to drive research into neurodegenerative disease and neuropsychiatric disorders, and the data-backed lot-to-lot consistency enables standardisation across assays used in early stages of drug discovery, from target identification to clinical translation.

Additionally, the development of CRISPR-Ready neurons makes it possible to perform functional genomic screening in human iPSC-derived neurons, opening the door to more efficient and physiologically relevant target identification and validation studies. Unlike primary neurons that often lack suitable controls, our range of ioCells includes disease models with engineered disease-specific mutations and genetically matched controls. Having access to defined, human iPSC-derived neurons that emulate neurodegenerative disease will help accelerate progress in understanding and ultimately treating these devastating diseases.  

Elevate your research with ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù’s human iPSC-derived neurons, from CRISPR-Ready glutamatergic neurons to ALS-specific motor neurons.
