Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We utilized human midbrain-like organoids (hMLOs) generated from human pluripotent stem cells carrying glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA1) and α-synuclein (α-syn; SNCA) perturbations to investigate genotype-to-phenotype relationships in Parkinson disease, with the particular aim of recapitulating α-syn- and Lewy body-related pathologies and the process of neurodegeneration in the hMLO model. METHODS: We...
