Self-Organizing 3D Human Neural Tissue Derived from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Recapitulate Alzheimer’s Disease Phenotypes

TL;DR: It is found that treatment of patient-derived organoids with β- and γ-secretase inhibitors significantly reduces amyloid and tau pathology and the potential of this model system to greatly increase the translatability of pre-clinical drug discovery in AD is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

3D mapping reveals network-specific amyloid progression and subcortical susceptibility in mice.

TL;DR: It is reported that subcortical memory structures show primary susceptibility to Aβ and that aggregates develop in increasingly complex networks with age, and it is found that Aβ accumulation in the mammillary body is linked to neuronal hyper-excitability and amyloid deposition can be reduced using a pharmacogenetics approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Down-syndrome-induced senescence disrupts the nuclear architecture of neural progenitors.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors found that iPSC-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) exhibit genome-wide "chromosomal introversion," disruption of lamina-associated domains, and global chromatin accessibility changes in response to T21, consistent with the transcriptional and nuclear architecture changes characteristic of senescent cells.
