Advancing Research with Alzheimer's Disease Specific iPSC-Derived Cell Lines

World Alzheimer's Month: Advancing Research with Alzheimer's Specific iPSC-Derived Cell Lines

In recognition of World Alzheimer's Month, we proudly present our collection of Alzheimer-specific cell lines, resources related to Alzheimer’s Disease research, and more.

Understanding Alzheimer's Disease Through iPSC-Derived Cells

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people globally. As we strive to unravel its mysteries, the general application of iPSC-derived cells in AD research has proven invaluable.

  • Versatile Cellular Models: iPSC-derived cells offer a flexible platform, adaptable to various research needs. They can be differentiated into numerous neuronal types, providing a broader perspective on brain function and dysfunction.
  • Disease Mechanism Insights: By studying how these cells interact and respond in different environments, researchers can gain insights into potential triggers and pathways involved in AD.
  • Drug Response Evaluation: Using iPSC-derived cells, researchers can assess how potential treatments might interact with various neuronal types, paving the way for more comprehensive drug evaluations.

Explore our range of products and delve into the diverse applications of iPSC-derived cells in AD research.

The Significance of Alzheimer's Specific Cell Lines

For a more targeted approach in Alzheimer's research, cell lines derived specifically from AD patients stand out, offering unparalleled advantages.

  • Genetic Uniformity: These cell lines encapsulate the genetic nuances of AD, ensuring consistent and highly relevant research outcomes.
  • Disease Modeling: These cells provide a microscopic view of AD, allowing researchers to closely study and understand the disease's progression at the cellular level.
  • High Throughput Screening: Tailored for AD, these cell lines are optimized for high-throughput drug screening, accelerating the journey towards potential treatments.

With our collaboration with the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), we tap into a vast reservoir of patient-derived iPSCs, ensuring our research remains at the forefront of AD-specific studies.

Our Alzheimer's Cell Line Collection

Our licensing agreement with CIRM’s iPSC Repository gives us access to over 1600 cell lines derived from patients with a variety of diseases, including Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Key features of our cell lines include:

  • Diverse Range: From early to late-stage disease models.
  • Genetic Background: Cell lines with APOE carrier information.
  • Clinical information: Comprehensive data sheets and research background for each cell line.

Patient history information can be found under Resources.
