Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Because of a lack of an appropriate animal model system and the inaccessibility of human oligodendrocytes in vivo, X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD)-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) would provide a unique cellular model for studying etiopathophysiology and development of therapeutics for X-ALD. METHODS: We generated and characterized iPSCs of the 2 major types of X-ALD, childhood cerebral ALD...
