Abstract excerpt
Modeling age-related neurodegenerative disorders with human stem cells are difficult due to the embryonic nature of stem cell-derived neurons. We developed a chemical cocktail to induce senescence of iPSC-derived neurons to address this challenge. We first screened small molecules that induce embryonic fibroblasts to exhibit features characteristic of aged fibroblasts. We then optimized a cocktail of small...
