NBD Seminar: iPSCs-based Regenerative Medicine and Drug Development of CNS Disorders

​You are invited to the upcoming NBD Seminar: ​iPSCs-based Regenerative Medicine and Drug Development of CNS Disorders.

 
Abstract:
iPSC technology has multiple applications in regenerative medicine and drug development. NS/PCs derived from iPSCs have shown promise for the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). We performed the first human participant transplantation of iPSC-derived NS/PCs for subacute SCI in 2021. iPSC-based techniques also offer new opportunities for disease modeling and drug development. Ropinirole was identified as a potential anti-ALS drug through iPSC-based studies and confirmed in the ROPALS trial.
