Hyperexcitability in young iPSC-derived C9ORF72 mutant motor neurons is associated with increased intracellular calcium release
5 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract A large hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9ORF72 gene is the most prevalent cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To better understand neuronal dysfunction during ALS progression, we studied motor neuron (MN) cultures derived from iPSC lines generated from C9ORF72 (C9) expansion carriers and unaffected controls. C9 and control MN cultures showed comparable mRNA levels for MN markers SMI-32,...
