Disease modeling

Gain advantage with human disease modeling

줄기 세포는 많은 연구 분야중에서도 특히 질병 모델링에 있어 가장 기여도가 큽니다. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)의 무한한 원천인 질병의 형태로 나타나는 기증받은 체세포를 reprogramming함으로써 동물 모델없이 인간 세포에 영향을 주는 확장, 분화 그리고 연구가 가능합니다. 생리학적 관련 세포 모델은 질병 체계 개발을 가속화 시킬 수 있습니다.

Our comprehensive tools, protocols and services are designed to help researchers overcome many challenges of genome editing using primary and stem cells to construct human disease models. Combined with recent advancements in genome editing technologies we enable scientists to gain new insights into human diseases and with the advantages of in vitro human disease modeling, including:

  • Streamlined isogenic cell line generation
  • Unlimited number of human iPSCs
  • Controlled experimental setting
  • Supports systematic evaluation of genetic mutations

파킨슨 질병 세포 모델 구축

Neurodegenerative disease: neurodegenerative diseases represent a group of neurological disorders that destroy neurons in the brain. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, a progressive disorder that affects 1% of people over age 60 and more than five million people worldwide. See the steps our scientists took to model Parkinson’s disease (PD) using human iPSCs

Cardiovascular disease (CVD): cardiovascular/heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. With CVD claiming the lives of millions of people each year, the need for scientific research into disease mechanisms and possible therapies is imperative. See the steps our scientists took to model dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) disease using human iPSCs

Building relevant iPSC-based disease models

Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) show promise in many research areas, especially in disease modeling. By reprogramming donated somatic cells exhibiting disease morphology, a potentially unlimited source of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offers the ability to expand, differentiate, and study affected human cells without another animal model. Physiologically relevant cellular models can accelerate the discovery of disease mechanisms. Genome editing in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has been demonstrated to be highly effective for generating disease models for both monogenic and complex genetic disorders. Using iPSCs to model disease allows researchers to examine how specific types of cells are affected by a disease.

Isogenic disease models that compare healthy donor cells to patient donor cells can introduce high patient-to-patient variability and confound experimental results. Advancements in genome editing technologies such and CRISPR /Cas9 and TALEN systems now enable construction of human isogenic controls with less variability to help mitigate these problems. The ability to engineer cells creates obvious advantages by eliminating genetic variability that occurs from patient to patient, providing more consistent phenotypes with every trial.

Research tools and protocols

We created, modified, and used many protocols while building the cellular disease model case studies. Listed here are the most popular protocols and media used in the stem cell workflow typically employed in our research, grouped into culture, reprogramming and editing, characterization and differentiation workflow segments.
