Applications of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Studying the Neurodegenerative Diseases

Figure 1

Basics of iPSC technology. Adult somatic cells can be reprogrammed into stem cell by the iPSC approach. iPSC-derived specific neurons can be used in drug screening and new drug discovery, toxicity tests, and models for studying the neurodegenerative diseases and for self-transplantation therapy.
