Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Bone abnormalities, one of the primary manifestations of Menkes disease (MD), include a weakened bone matrix and low mineral density. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying these bone defects are poorly understood. METHODS: We present in vitro modeling for impaired osteogenesis in MD using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with a mutated ATP7A gene. MD-iPSC lines were...
